A couple weeks ago, I came home to this amazing package of goodies from Madelyn. Madelyn and I met at Blend where she had given me a 5-day challenge of Skoop A-Game to try. I was pretty apprehensive at first, “just another antioxidant formula”,...

I am not a coffee drinker. Never have been and don’t foresee that I will be (never say never). The taste doesn’t suit me and the morning caffeine fix is not something I need. However, an afternoon caffeine fix, say around 1:30 pm after 6 hours teaching, is...

This afternoon the cross country team competes in its second race! I am pretty excited to see what the team can do since a lot of them are new to the sport and last week’s race was more of a learning experience. Hopefully their shin splints don’t give them...

Last Wednesday evening, Heidi invited a bunch of other bloggers and myself to the opening of the new Sierra Trading Post store in Greenwood Village. I have perused Sierra Trading Post’s website before, but have never purchased anything from them. After exploring...

When Rob and I were planning our itinerary for Ireland, the Ring of Kerry, on the western side of Ireland, kept popping up as must see. The gorgeous views, the quaint towns, the sheep. Of course we had to do it. However, the day before we drove the 111 mile Ring of...

Eight days in Ireland and seven days in London make for some truly amazing memories and a hefty album of pictures. I can’t tell you every story, and play-by-plays are not my style. To tell you the truth, I am not really sure how I am going to share it all with...
