    InstaFriday is back!

    June 22, 2012 /

    Three Cheers for Friday! Hip Hip…. HOORAY! Hip Hip…. HOORAY! Hip Hip…. HOORAY! I used to do InstaFriday a lot, but for some reason I stopped (not sure why…crazy blogger brain!) Well, I had some good instagrams this week so I thought I should bring it back… Here is a look into my life through my InstaGrams (follow me! my user name is @courtnorm) I love cuddles. Lucky for me, she does too! she had to wear her hat to keep the “sunshine from my head” and she won’t leave home without sunglasses. little diva. ahh this one melts my heart. she thought trying to say “zucchini” was hilarious. Such…

    Saturday

    May 12, 2012 /

    The sun shines in the window more brightly than I’m used it. I glance at my phone, it’s after 9am! At first I’m concerned that we’ve slept so late, but as I assess my surroundings and realize all is well my concern turns to pride. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to sleep this late! I roll out of bed, take a shower and get dressed. I go to Little Dreamer’s room and find her laying in bed reading a book, she smiles big and says “Hi Mommy!” I take her downstairs to make breakfast. First things first, pop a kcup in the keurig. The sound of…

    Rest, Bloggy Boot Camp, & InstaFriday

    April 20, 2012 /

    Every friend, without fail, I get Rebecca Black’s song “Friday” stuck in my head (Now I know it’s in yours too… sing with me… “It’s Friiiday Friiiday…”) Anyway, this week has been restful. I went on a short run/walk with the dog on Wednesday early in the morning, but other than that I’ve allowed myself the freedom to just rest. I started training last summer for the Marathon, then a few weeks after the marathon I started training for the half. Sunday I finished my first half-marathon, and not “having” to train for something has been a welcomed rest. I knew that if I gave myself the week off from…

    InstaFriday

    March 9, 2012 /

    I’m linking up to InstaFriday at Life Rearranged. I love this idea because I have a slight obsession with instagram and love being able to share little snapshots of my life with you! Check out my week via instagram….   I’ve been dying to get Payton some Tiny Toms for awhile now… and I finally did! Saturday trip to the mall! Have you ever had PB2? I am a peanut butter addict and this allows me to enjoy my peanut butter with WAY less fat and calories. Normal peanut butter is 200 calories per serving, this is only 45 calories per serving! my food obsession for the week… Creamy Thai…
