Tall Tales Tuesday: Lunch Time at the Fish Market
This week’s Tall Tales post is going to be a short one as I am getting back into the swing of things after a super fun, family-filled weekend. More on that tomorrow! While exploring the fish market in Busan, South Korea, Rob and I stumbled upon this duo. The...Pineapple Chicken Kabobs
Something about the warm weather just makes grilled meals sound and taste so much better. Plus, Rob bought fancy new folding chairs for our patio that makes me want to sit out there instead of being in the kitchen. I am pretty grill illiterate in terms of turning the...10 Things to Expect on Race Day for First Time Racers
I love race day. Whether I am running, or not, there is an atmosphere of inspiration, accomplishment, and excitement that accompanies race day that I just cannot get enough of. Maybe that is why I have run so many races in my life. That and the challenge of crossing...Tall Tales Tuesday: Beach Games
There are two types of beaches in Vietnam. The absolutely pristine, tourist only, blue water, bungalow practically on the ocean beaches, and then there are the local beaches. Oh the local beaches. Rob and I were able to visit a few local beaches in a few different...Basic Card Workout
Yesterday, it was snowing and gross outside (yes, snow in May), and I just didn’t have it in me to head down to the gym. I wanted to workout after filming videos for the Spring Burn; I was just not motivated to leave the house to do it. Enter the Basic Card Workout. I...Manitou Incline or One Humbling Hike
About a week ago, I read on Amy’s blog about her hike up the Manitou Incline. Something that crazy immediately peaked my interest. (That line is the incline. The shadow part is the fake summit. The part just about that in the sunshine is the real summit.)...Catch up on the Week
Happy Hump Day! I thought I would catch you all up a bit on the week. The school year is starting to wind down and my students are going a little bonkers. Today was particularly crazy as we had 6 teachers absent and only 2 subs. Yikes. The good news is it’s...Tall Tales Tuesday: Riding the Rails
Welcome to another edition of Tall Tales Tuesday! Today’s installment takes us back to Vietnam. During our Christmas break, Rob and I went from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, south to north, exploring all the major cities in-between. From overnight busses to planes...Martyrdom
As teachers, we are asked to take on a lot of extra responsibilities. Chaperoning dances, tutoring after school, coaching, lunch detentions, covering classes of absent teachers, working the ticket booth, the list goes on. Though teachers may grumble a bit about doing...Double P May Challenge
Can you believe May is already upon us? I feel like this year has just gone by insanely fast. With teaching winding down, my May is filling up rather quickly! Things coming up in May I am pumped about: My end of year review (I had it today and it went great!)...Banana Oat Muffins
A bit of housekeeping: Two new tabs have been added! These tabs will lead you to a list of recipes that have appeared on the blog and a catalog of past Tall Tales Tuesday posts organized by countries. Check them out if you have a minute! On to a delicious,...
