Double Date Night & A Cookie Bar Recipe
Yikes! How terrible of me…I promised you all a recipe yesterday and I didn’t deliver! Well, Jay and I set out yesterday afternoon to run the errands that we needed to take care of, but things took a little longer than we anticipated and we never made it back home before our double date night ...
A Few Extra ZZZ’s
Very rarely do I like to let myself sleep in on the weekends. I’ll usually set my alarm for a reasonable time, just so I’m up and can get a head start on the day. I almost feel as though I’m wasting away the day if I sleep too late? Some weekends, however, I cave in to the pressures and let myself ...
I’m Back In The Game
I am very happy to report that I slept like a baby last night and did not need to get up once for a inhaler rescue! Waking up with a clear set of lungs is definitely a great way to set the day right. So I continued on the right foot, and footed it right out to my TV for a little strength training – ...

(If you chatted with me on Twitter, you ...
Four Things…Plus An Exciting Step Forward!
Do you remember ever getting those chain emails, that were about a mile long, asking you to fill in your own response for pretty much every question under the sun? “What is your favorite food? What are you wearing right now? What scares you most?…” Yeah, I loved ‘em! I always had such a good time ...
A Surprise Anniversary Celebration
**Just a Reminder: If you haven’t yet re-subscribed to STSL after the move, you can do so by clicking here for email, or here for RSS feed!** I’ll admit: Having no kitchen to come home to doesn’t always make the thought of dinners all that exciting. Sure, the occasional crockpot meal or panini ...
Tips for Exercising With Asthma
This morning was the first morning in a while that I’ve attempted the pre- 6:00am workout. Not as easy to “ease” back into as I had hoped. :shock: After making it through the first five minutes of warming up without actually falling asleep, I figured I was good enough to continue. However, the ...

This Low Fat Crockpot Veggie Stew is the perfect recipe to make on a chilly Sunday to have for the rest of the week! Crockpot meals are absolute favorites of ours over here. Jay and I really enjoyed the Burgundy Beef Stew that I made last week, so I decided another stew creation was in order. ...
