Sometime in the past few weeks, I made a cheesecake. I posted pictures on Instagram. And then I went to Blend and got crap from Lauren because I haven’t posted the recipe yet.
WELL, for those of you who were patiently waiting: Here it is. [...]
In case you forgot, I was at Blend this weekend. It. Was. AWESOME.

Today’s post comes from my friend (well Blend or Tweep really), Jaci, was kind enough to write a post for you today about librarians. She’s on her way to becoming one. And I’ve thought of becoming one myself. Maybe. It’s on the short list of “What I want to Be When I Grow [...]

I’m going to be in Austin, TX from May 17-22 — and I need some guest bloggers. You can post about anything — well, mostly anything — the title of my blog IS LIFE+running. Most everything falls under life. Have a topic that you have been itching to write about but it doesn’t fit in [...]
Today marks 2.5 years that I’ve been with Mark [ the wonder-bred italian boy ]. It feels like sooooo much longer. Is that a bad thing?
Heres a few of my favorite photos of us. Some might be from before we were dating (who’s counting?).
