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. For the giveaway I will be paying the postage out of my own pocket so I have to limit entries to the United States. All opinions, experiences, and pictures are … Continue reading »

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 »
The lovely folks at Enjoy Life Foods sent me one of each variety of their Chewy Bars to review for the blog. The stack looks impressive but we already buy them by the case so you can guess that we love them before I get too far into this post. The four varieties are Sunbutter … Continue reading »
I keep thinking about a dear friend that lost her uncle and her father this month and also about the families in Newtown, CT, it seems strange to write about anything else when I’m so preoccupied about life in general. On my long run on Saturday I composed a blog post in my head that … Continue reading »
