Out of the Ordinary Day
Hey Guys! How is your week going so far? Seems like my week has been SO long. How is it only Wednesday? Today is a super special day… It’s my husbands 29th birthday! So we decided to take the day off. Payton had school so after working out this morning we went to breakfast with some friends then headed home to clean up before making the trip out to Sump Coffee… Mid-Week Coffee Date for the win! Obviously I love coffee, so a new coffee experience is always welcomed. It was a great ambiance. It was really all about the coffee. They buy their beans green and roast them. The…

Disney Junior Live On Tour – St Louis 2/8/14
It’s no secret that our family absolutely looooooves Disney. It’s more of an obsession at this point. In just about a week we will be setting sail on our first ever cruise, a Disney Cruise! I’m positive that it will make us even more obsessed with all things Disney. They are good at what they do. The hubs and I have passed on our obsession to our daughter. Her 4th birthday is coming up next month and we want to do something special. It seems like Disney was aware of this and scheduled their St Louis stop on their Disney Junior Live on Tour right around her birthday. It was…

Disney on Ice St Louis
Remember awhile back when I told you about Disney on Ice coming to St Louis? Well this past Friday was the day! They were here for 3 days playing multiple shows. We went on Friday night. We decided not to tell Payton what we were doing. As we drove out to the city she said our adventure was a far drive, but she was excited the whole way there! //instagram.com/p/ex5AvDDIi8/embed/ When we arrived I had her princess dress ready and told her we were going to see all her disney friends. She was so excited! I was super impressed with the set up. Disney had their vendors and merchandise set…

Dirty Girl Mud Run St Louis 2013
Oh hey, world. I’m just a week late on my recap… no big deal. Last week I participated in the Dirty Girl Mud Run with some of my favorite girls, and it was a BLAST! We met up at CrossFit 70 to carpool over since parking was $10 a car. We were registered for the 9:30am wave and we got there a little after 8am. When we arrived there was seriously like NO line at all and we were through registration in less than 10 minutes. One of our girls was meeting us there and got there a little before 9am and the line was crrrraaazy. The lesson? Get there early!!…

GO St Louis Half Marathon 2013 Race Recap
I signed up for the Go St Louis Half Marathon a long time ago. I figured since I wasn’t training for a Marathon all fall/winter that training for this would be easier than it was last year. I figured I would actually stick to a training plan and and see a massive PR from last year’s race. Then life happened. We traveled and it snowed and I just didn’t follow the plan. Then I invited one of my out of town friends to run it with me. She was rocking it out in her training until she hurt her knee. For the last month or so her longest run was…

So I’m Running a Half Marathon on Sunday…
oh yea. That snuck up on me. So remember when I posted about my CrossFit Endurance Half Marathon Training Plan? Well somewhere in between all our traveling, school, and horrible weather I just didn’t keep up with it. I know that I have gotten faster, but I needed to know that I could run the distance. So I just added in some long runs when I could… I know I CAN finish – I just don’t know how fast at this point. I am SO excited to have my friend Emily coming into town to run with me, but she has been out for awhile due to a knee injury.…

#STLBloggers Meet Up: Ces & Judy’s Catering
So way back in September/October I contacted a fellow FitFluential Ambassador that I knew lived in the St Louis Area, Lindsay from ItzLinz, and asked her about meeting up. Turns out there was a little group of people who had met up before. Well, we decided to try for a meet up in October and after a gazillion emails back and forth between a handful of us… 3 of us showed up. It was fun, but I knew there had to be a more efficient way to bring bloggers together! So I started the STLBloggers Facebook group and invited all the bloggers in the area that I knew… who invited…

Yelp Shops Local Event: Kaldi’s Roaster Tour and Roast
I finally got to attend my first Yelp event! I have been yelping off and on for a few years… mostly looking for good reviews than actually writing reviews. When I started to see the Yelp Community grow I was excited about getting more involved. So, I started writing reviews… checking in… looking for new Yelpers to Friend. It became so much fun! We use Yelp when we travel, when we are looking for a new place to eat, or something to do. “How many stars does it have?” is a normal question when we are out to eat. When I saw they were hosting the Kaldi’s Roaster Tour and…

We headed to Florida in January for the WDW Marathon, South Dakota Business Trip in February, Texas in March, Miami in June, Back to South Dakota in September, Chicago in September as well, and most recently to Florida just last week.

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…
