Homemade Pumpkin Butter
Over the weekend, I forgot to mention that I actually did a little work in the kitchen. ;) I was in the mood to use pumpkin, but for the life of me, could not decide what to bake. After browsing recipes for almost a half hour, I determined that baking was not going to happen. But what WAS going ...

Perks & Productivity
Want to know two of my favorite perks about having a day off from work? Being able to complete a morning workout NOT at 5:30am, and then being able to cook a delicious breakfast while reading magazines. :) I made myself a delicious batch of stove-top Pumpkin Oats this morning. I don’t care what ...
Tops is TOPS!
Today has definitely been one of those days that is just “GO GO GO” – from 5:30am this morning, until 9:00pm tonight, when we finally walked in the door. Nonetheless, despite being super busy, it has been rather productive! Workout At 5:05am this morning, my alarm was definitely not on my good ...
