Top 3 Friday #2

May 27, 2016 by Catherine

Happy Friday and (almost) weekend! And LONG weekend at that (if you’re in the US and are off work for Memorial Day)! Parts of this week were fast, but then parts of it seemed to drag on. Was yours like that? Regardless, we made it, and now I want to talk about this week’s highs…

Any Exercise Is “Good Exercise”

May 26, 2016 by Catherine

The other day I read a post about a barre challenge in which the workout was referred to as “girly.” To be fair, the author admitted that the workout was more challenging than anticipated and did not write the post in a critical way, but nevertheless, that single description got my blood boiling. Since when…

Top 3 Friday #1

May 20, 2016 by Catherine

Hey, hey! It’s Friday! You know how I said I would only post on Fridays like once a month? Well, I’m basically the blogging equivalent of a political flip-flopper. Just don’t count me out of the race yet. 😉 But really, I’ve been wanting to share more life-y things with y’all (because my daily life…

Life Lessons (From My Toddler)

May 19, 2016 by Catherine

My son taught me to be a mom - but he's also taught me some life lessons as a toddler.

Lately I’ve been all sorts of moody and dramatic, but one thing that always, always puts a smile on my face is my son. God is he hysterical. Even though he’s not a big talker yet, I am amazed at how much his little personality shines through. He’s daring—as evidenced by how quickly he climbs…

Hi there, folks. Are we really already more half-way through May? Sheeeeesh. I’ll keep the intro short and just dive into my current happenings. But before I do that I want to give a shout-out to my lovely parents—yesterday was their 35th wedding anniversary! Thanks for showing me what marriage and support is all about….

When Life Is A Hamster Wheel…

May 16, 2016 by Catherine

When life is a hamster wheel...

Weird metaphor, I know.  So now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about how—weird or not—that’s exactly how life feels sometimes. You decide one day, “gee, that wheel looks nice.” It’s so shiny, and you see all the other hamsters chugging along with a smile of contentment on their faces (for…

Would You Change Your Personality If You Could?

May 12, 2016 by Catherine

Do you ever wish you could just completely alter your personality? I mean, I can say with confidence that I “like” myself—at least most of the time—but sometimes I wish I could round up a few of my friends’ and peers’ best qualities to go along with my superior intelligence, flawless beauty, and unmatched sense…

My Second (Official) Mother’s Day

May 10, 2016 by Catherine

This past Sunday we celebrated my second official Mother’s Day (even though we enjoyed a lovely brunch and non-alcoholic Bloody Mary when I was pregnant, I figure that one didn’t really count). Me and the fur-child, Iggy, on Mother’s Day 2014—around 17 weeks pregnant! We kept things pretty low-key, but it was a special day—and…
