Bunnies on the Brain

As of late, Emmalynn’s (my 3 y.o.) language skills have really developed at a rapid speed.  Not only is she talking more, but she blows me away with the words she uses.  She went from barely speaking to speaking in descriptive sentences.
 

 
It tickles me to hear her speaking in real sentences with all the parts of speech [...]

Had a Blast at Buffett!

Buffett was all that I expected and more.  Similar to a football game, the best partying takes place during the tailgate before the main event.
 
Of course, there were landsharks…
 

 
…a crazy number of coconut tops and grass skirts.
 

 
…and plenty of people wasting away again in Margaritaville.
 

 
Before the show, two men livened up an already lit crowd [...]

Buffett or Bust!

My DH won Jimmy Buffett tickets at work this week!  This will be our first Buffett concert and in true Parrothead fashion, we are arriving early to tailgate before the show.  I am so excited!  Pics and a post soon to follow!

The New and Improved Little Bunny Foo Foo

Ever since my run last Sunday when my running partners and I discussed the various versions to Little Bunny Foo Foo, I decided to create another version.  
My New and Improved Little Bunny Foo would promote peace and  love.  Bullies are a serious problem in today’s world.  Why not teach children that bullying will not be tolerated [...]

Officially Boycotting The Children’s Place

I really think I need to shop on-line more with all these unfortunate situations I seem to keep stumbling into when shopping at retail stores.
 
Maybe it’s just me, because these things only seem to happen to me…BUT, I wanted to go the The Children’s Place to buy my girls some flip-flops, which are staple footwear [...]

Sunday Running Log #20

After retying my laces back to their original looping, I headed out to meet Tiffany for an easy 6 miles.  Not looking to break any new running records, but simply wanting to run a fair distance without some weird toe pain.
 
Two little Cottontail Rabbits hopped across my path on my way to meet Tiffany, which [...]

Only 2 Runs

I only ran two runs this week and they were both terrible.
 
Wednesday, I ran 3.22 miles.  My time was hideous.
Time 31:39
Pace 9:50
 
Fortunately, I didn’t feel any weird toe pain.  My DH retied my laces on my shoes to what he called the “British way to tie laces”.  It actually resembles the black toe lace jobby [...]

I’m a trail blazer…NOT!

Thankfully, I found time for a much needed run through the wilderness trails at Oscar Scherer.  Not knowing how my foot would hold up, I decided to test out the shortest trail, the Green Trail.  This flatwood trail consisted mostly of sand and I found my pace was very slow as a result, but probably [...]
