Wow! I made it through week 5, I’ve officially gone further in the program now than in my previous two attempts. I quit after day 2 of Week 5 last time due to illness. It’s a bit ironic, but I’ve been really ill again this time. I have a sore throat that just isn’t budging … More Couch to 5K – Week 5
I’ve made it over two months without buying anything that wasn’t a household necessity, plus a few things for Zane’s upcoming birthday. It’s been tough at times, but mostly it’s kind of a relief. Knowing that I’m just not allowed to buy stuff eliminates guilt & worry about whether I really need something. I do have … More Less Than a Month to Go & Thinking Artistically
This is the debut of another pair of shoes that I haven’t worn before. I got them before my buying fast, but haven’t worn them yet. They are pretty darn fabulous. It’s a different world 5 inches higher up! They are actually comfortable although a bit heavy. I wore them all day & at the end … More How's the Weather Up There?
Wow, it was a tough week. I was sick every time I went out this week. Mostly a head cold, but it did get down into my chest a bit. It definitely made it difficult, both physically & mentally. I pushed through though & I’m so glad that I did. I’m now running more than … More Couch to 5K – Week 4
I love this top! I got it at Ross years ago & it’s definitely vintage-inspired. Super comfortable too. I don’t wear a lot of brown, but I couldn’t resist the colour combo & the great pattern. It’s nice to have something to wear my only pair of brown shoes with too. … More Brown Around Town

Once again, two birds with one stone! I did my Photoshop challenge of the week & my final day of the 30 Days of Creativity. I used a photo that I took this weekend at a wedding we went to of my husband & my youngest son. I used this tutorial to produce a high-key black … More Challenge #1 – High-Key B&W Portrait Effect & 30 Days of Creativity – Day 30
I’m not usually a big fan of pastels on myself, but I love these two vintage necklaces that I thrifted along the way. This outfit was vintage inspired & super comfortable for running errands with the boys. My Blowfish shoes are so comfortable – I can wear them all day & they are fab. I love … More Pastel Goodness
I have been fighting a headache all day – I think it’s the leftovers of my, thankfully short-lived, cold. Headaches & creativity do not dwell peacefully together. I thought I wasn’t going to manage a creative act today, but I decided to get my sketchbook out & see what happened. I ended up doing a … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 29
I mentioned & posted pictures of the outdoor chalkboard that we set up for our boys. It is a total hit. Jude loves to go out & draw on it. So thankful that we did it. I used the chalkboard as my backdrop for my pictures when I wore this outfit & of course, Jude … More Artist in Residence
