I have making a quilt on my “bucket list” (posted originally here, I probably should update it actually) and have been doing bits of sewing and crafting since then. I’ve even been acquiring fabric for my imaginary someday quilt but never made the time to get started until now. On twitter, Libby, who blogs at The Allergic … Continue reading »
I think it breaks the fourth wall of blogging to comment in a post about the lack of posts on a blog but it has been almost a month since my last post so I thought I’d acknowledge that and give some updates on life with food allergies of late. Oh, and work has been … Continue reading »
Disclosure: I received 8 free mixes from Allergic Solutions, 4 to use and 4 to give away on the blog using whatever method I preferred.

Located right next to the Smith Center, the new museum has so many neat details inside that I tried to … Continue reading »

I ran my first 10K race! Since my last running update when I ran Calico Racing’s Recycled 5K, I’ve been increasing my running distances to get ready for the half marathon in March. On December 8, 2012 I ran my longest distance, 10 miles, in 1:59:27. Having broken the double digit barrier I decided to … Continue reading »
