Some of you may remember Chris Lawhorn from the workout music site Run Hundred. He created an exercise playlist for me based on my love of Lady Gaga, and since then he’s shared with us other top playlists for breaking a sweat. Today Chris shares the top workout songs of 2011 thus far. The bolded [...]
Like blind mice. And wise men. And strikes. And little pigs. But perhaps the best thing that comes in threes, at least for me, is years of marriage. July 2008 July 2011 Happy 3rd Anniversary, Dave! ♥
When I was in high school, quote books were all the rage. Every girl in school had a pretty little notebook where she’d jot down all of the inspirational quotes she could get her hands on. Unfortunately I didn’t save my old quote books, but I do still love the idea of using quotes for [...]

Good news! The wedding I was in this past weekend went off without a hitch. Pun intended! I received a request for more details about the toast I gave as Matron of Honor, so I thought I’d share with you both the guidelines I used for writing it and the text of the speech itself. [...]

Keep the bride calm and hydrated, bawl my eyes out during the ceremony, give a rockin’ toast, and then dance the night away! What would be [...]
