    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…

    Coffee Date: What are you called to do?

    I started out recording a random vlog yesterday to get up this morning but when I saw what Alissa over at Rags to Stitches was vlogging about I knew I had to get in on it. So I vlogged again. If you want to see my first random coffee date vlog you can check out my youtube channel (and subscribe!) Anyway, this week we are talking about What we feel like we are called to do, particularly in this blog space we have made for ourselves. So, pull up a chair… Lets have coffee!     After thinking about it some more I feel like the two words that describe…

    Coffee Date: Believe

    Who is ready for some coffee? After running errands on lunch the husband treated me to this lovely Trenta Cool Lime Refresher: It took me forever to find 5 minutes to get away to record this vlog, so I hope you appreciate it. Recap: Met a huge weight loss goal! Learning to believe in myself. I am more than just a before picture. Also, I have Jury duty next month… What are your craziest Jury Duty stories? Leave them in the comments below. Best story chosen by myself and my husband will win a $10 Starbucks Gift Card! How was your week? Any exciting weekend plans?

    Coffee Date: Define The Vision

    It’s coffee time! I love being able to share this time with you guys. I’m still in awe of all the support and encouragement that we have received this week, it gets me really excited for what is yet to come! Today I’m talking about Defining the vision and why I was scared to label this a “healthy living” blog. (I was trying to find a good angle for the vlog- perfect opportunity for a picture right?) Also, let me know if there is some part of my journey you’d like me to focus on during these vlogs. Or I could just make you a long montage of pictures of…

    Three Exciting Things!

    Hey Dreamers! What’s up on this Friday night? I should be reading my Healthcare Management Text book… but instead I’m eating Trader Joe’s Gone Bananas Chocolate Covered Frozen bananas, watching Dateline NBC (there is something Keith Morrison’s voice that draws me in every time!), and working on the blog. I have a few special announcements… up first… I have been accepted as a FitFluential Ambassador! FitFluential is nationwide network of Fitness Enthusiasts sharing their journey online. I’m so excited to join the ranks alongside some of the bloggers I have been stalking following for sometime now. It is crazy to see how far I’ve come. I hardly recognize myself, in a good…
