Its the last day and I’m on track to make my million (only 8000 steps left)! There were definitely ups and downs, weekends were harder than I thought to get steps in, being pregnant made me more exhausted in the evenings, and the weather did not always cooperate! All that said, I’m so proud of myself. I have […]
My stash at work – Day 5 of the Million Step Challenge!
Yesterday was the first day I haven’t made my goal of 10,000 steps for the day. I was able to get in my lunch walk like normal, but ran out of time in the evening for to make up for the 2000 steps I was lacking because I decided to watch tv, then the project […]

She tends to wear lots of white, but that didn’t seem too work appropriate and it was a rainy Friday morning here. Finally found inspiration in […]
Making Katie & Bella’s Hair Comb from Breaking Dawn
One of my oldest friends, Katie, got married in August. She and I have been friends forever, since we both started clogging so many years ago.

How to use a Rewards Credit Card Well
