I had a recipe scheduled for you today. But you know what? My food pictures suck.
Why don’t you go look at what Gina, from Running to the Kitchen, has cooked up for you instead (just don’t rate her recipes until after you’ve tried them! ). Or maybe something [...]
Guys. I am almost too tired to write one last recap post. Everybody else did a glorious job. And once those are all compiled, I will give you the link to read everybody else’s posts. Because there are some really hilarious recaps out there.
Sunday morning we woke up again for some boot camp action. [...]
Remember that I promised you that Humpday Blog Lovin’ would resume this week?
Yeah. I’m a liar.
However, I do have posts for all of my favorite Blends scheduled all the way through September. I just have to write them …
Today you’re getting a crazy-long recap of what [...]
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 [...]
This post is not about muffin top or tight pants. It’s about crafting.

Oh, so in case you’re wondering what I ended up buying, in regard to the dress post from last week, I went with the white sale dress and the pink dress. The pink dress ended up being SEE THRU. And the waist was [...]
I was crazy busy this weekend making a ton of bags for a sale this upcoming Saturday. FORTY FIVE of them to be exact. I almost ran out of zippers from my bag o’ 100 zippers and I’m going to have to re-order from the bulk zipper lady on etsy before I can make any [...]
I told you all that I taught a class over the weekend. But I’ve been taking a class during the week.
I’ve been taking embroidery at the same place that I taught patchwork last weekend.
I know. I need another crafty hobby like I need a hole in [...]
Doomtree is a band from the Twin Cities that has one of my other favorite MN artists in it: Dessa.
And guess what? I’m going to see these guys at the M-Shop in Ames tonight. Can’t wait! My friend Seth is doing a Doomtree bender and [...]
I’m so sad that my iPod wasn’t playing nice last week so I couldn’t post these the DAY I went.
So again, like everything else I’m posting, this is old news. *sigh* I really need to get on top of that.
It snowed last Monday. I know, right? We normally have HEAPS of snow in [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
