Six Flags St Louis – #KeysToSTL
We are still recapping this weekend, I told you it was a busy one!! After Friday nights STL Blogger Meet Up and the Zombie Survival Dash on Saturday Morning we changed clothes in the Tahoe. It was actually pretty roomy, we were able to easily change out of our running gear and get ready for a fun day at Six Flags St Louis. I was provided free entry as a part of the Chevy Keys to St Louis campaign, the same one that has let me drive their awesome Tahoe this week! Before heading to Six Flags we stopped for brunch at Denny’s. It has seriously been years since I’ve been…

10.11.12
Today is 10-11-12! How fun is that?! I feel like we should have a party… or a day off… or an all expenses paid trip to a beach resort… But we don’t. The closest thing I have to party right now is the Food Should Taste Good Prize Pack Giveaway – Don’t forget to enter! What else is going on today? I have an appointment with my Chiropractor to see what’s up with my shoulder. I actually got some decent sleep last night, but it was still painful. If you are in the O’Fallon, MO area and need a Chiropractor you have got to go to Back Pain Center. Dr. Matt…

5 years. We Eloped and survived!
5 years ago today I googled “preacher for wedding” 5 years ago I called the first guy I found and asked him if he could marry us. he said when. i said today. He laughed, but agreed. 5 years ago today I applied for a marriage license. 5 years ago today we eloped. It was the best decision, one we’ve never regretted (even though people swore we would). Since many of you weren’t around when I wrote the story of how we met, fell in love, and eloped – I decided today would be an appropriate day to share it. Enjoy! Original Post from June 7, 2011 So it was around…

Pound the Pavement 5k Recap
We did it! Payton and I completed our first 5k together! It was a blast too. There is something so refreshing about a small no-frills local race. There were maybe 200 people there for both the 5k and 10k. We arrived early and walked around a bit to warm up. Before the race even started she was asking where the finish line was so she could get her trophy… HA! We started out in the back with a few other strollers. This race was very punctual, 8:00am on the dot and with a quick 3-2-1 go and we were off! I actually started out pretty fast for me and was…

Coffee Date: WHY?
Whew, what a week. Seriously, something about this week was so draining. I’m glad it is Friday and I’m totally looking forward to a fun weekend. I’m running my first Stroller 5k, WHOO! It is a small local race (less than 200 entries so far) and I love being able to support local events. Also, I’m sure my running partner is going to be the cutest around. Speaking of the amount of cuteness… Check out her/our featured up on the FitFluential Blog! And my blog is featured on the Top Mommy Blogs site too! Thanks to all who continue voting for me! I’m almost to the first page, so keep it…

Coffee Date: 2 year old Style
I love getting to sit down and have coffee with you each week. But lets be honest, if we were really having coffee it wouldn’t be that quiet in the background. and our conversation would be interuppted with counting and ABCs and “look at me mama” every 10 seconds. So instead of locking her in her room while I record my vlog I decided to have her join us! She is always excited to see herself on the screen. Here is what my coffee looks like today: It is a bit cooler this morning so I’m going for hot coffee instead of iced. Bring it on, Fall! and now for…
