I am pretty sure my mom gets really happy when I suprise her and walk in her front door ready to take over her laundry room and I am ready to fill my empty stomach to the brim with all of her delicious food. We usually do our laundry on Sunday but I needed to wash my favorite sports bra for the race this weekend.
Hairstyle and outfit of the week: You know how it works, get home from work every day and change directly into the outfit of the week. Wash it the next week if you feel like it (same goes for the hair).
The little one knows that her food isn’t safe when I am within 2 feet of her high chair. Sorry about the ‘SEE FOOD’ I couldn’t figure out how to photoshop it out.
Billy treats his favorite cheese ball snacks as though it is an infant the way he cradles that jar and sings lullabies to it.
Billy continued the orange theme with some nachos and I felt like attempting to be healthy with a spinach/chicken/snap pea/mandarin orange/italian dressing salad.
For the last few days my sis has been telling me about the BEST ice cream combo in the world (don’t mind the note requesting whoever wants to eat her special ice cream to ask first;).
Coming from the ice cream expert (you know you can trust my opinion about this important matter), I really can’t get over how good it was. Yes, I do realize that the last 5 posts have included ice cream.
You MUST do a 1:1 ratio for each bite and extra credit is awarded when that bite has a brownie chunck and candy cane piece in one bite.
Can you tell what show we were watching?

What is YOUR workout today?
-A slow treadmill run for me this a.m. Last run before Vegas Half (actually that is a lie, I might do 3 miles on Saturday).
What were the toppings of your last salad? I am always on the look out for new toppings to try!
Do you have your Christmas tree up? Do you have a real or fake tree?
-Billy and I usually buy a real tree but I am not sure we will be this year.

that ice cream combo sounds so good i’m going to have to stop at the supermarket on my way home to buy some of it =)
What is YOUR workout today?
-got up early and did an easy 3 miles before work =)
What were the toppings of your last salad? I am always on the look out for new toppings to try!
-last night for dinner i made a “mexican” salad with lettuce, ground beef, jalapenos, and for dressing i mixed salsa with some plain greek yogurt. amazinggg.
Do you have your Christmas tree up? Do you have a real or fake tree?
-not yet! we’re decorating this weekend. we have a fake tree because it’d be too hard to get a real tree into our apartment. i do like real trees better though!
Janae
Great job on getting up early and RUNNING! Your salad sounds SO good…greek yogurt? Great idea. Have fun decorating this weekend!
Thomas
You are hilarious. I am going to so enjoy wknoirg with you. I love your hall pass. There will be no question as to which class they are out of. LOL And your hair, It looks great. Dee
Britt @ Runwithbritt
That ice cream combo looks like the bees knees! Have you heard about the 12 days of Christmas Yogurtland is putting on? Go in today and get a card for free 2 ounces of yogurt for the first 12 days of December! SCORE!
My workout today is going down after my test! Not sure what I’m doing yet. :)
I had a Mexican salad the other day topped with feta, black beans, tomato, and onion with avocado poblano dressing yum!
My roommate and I put up our tree on Halloween! We are the biggest fans of Christmas! I have a fake one while I’m at school and a real one back home. I can’t wait to go home to sit by the fire, smell the fresh tree, and relax! I wish the semester would end already!
Janae
I didn’t know about that deal…thanks so much Britt…you know where I will be going today:) GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TEST and I love that you have had your tree up for so long. PS I need to make your salad!
[email protected]
MODERN FAMILY…my fave. Yeah, that ice cream looks and sounds pretty good. I have got to stop with all my Christmas baking, it’s just too hard to resist, not easy with kids and parties and all the things I have to bring crap too. I think it will have to be packaged (tightly) store bought from here on out. BTW, I only hope my kids use my laundry room when they get older. :) I tell my 9 year old he can live with me (and should) until he’s forty.
Janae
Don’t stop the Christmas baking:) I love that you want your kids to live with you forever…you are such a good mom!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats
I LOVE peppermint ice cream! My club made their own when I was little, actually they still do… I need to hit that up when I’m home for Christmas. And I’m about to go to 6 miles on the treadmill! I wanted to do a long run, but I have a 5K race Saturday and want to have fresh legs! I will be wearing a beard and santa hat after all…
Janae
Um…yeah you do, that sounds amazing. GOOD LUCK on your 5k…you are going to rock it!
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed)
Modern Family – love it. I totally have an outfit of the week. And pajamas of the week – ha!!
Khushboo
Gah that ice cream combo is just genius my friend! Does walking up and down the stairs repeatedly count as a workout? If so, that was mine….if not, today was a rest day :)! I just picked up rosemary-infused goat cheese, I’m excited to top my salad with it…something tells me it will be a winner! Have a great Thursday :D
Sabrina
Killer ice cream combo. This weekend I’m making chocolate peppermint cake balls. Should be delicious!
Anyways, my last salad had black beans, onions, peppers & hummus. Oh, some chicken too!
Janae
That sounds amazing…you better post your recipe! I forgot about hummus as a salad topper….I will be trying that again!
Andrea @ Andrea in Training
Today will be an easy 3 miles when I get home.
I have to say, yours is an “intense” salad! There IS lettuce, in there, right?? ;) My last salad had grilled chicken, dried cranberries, cashews, almond slivers, sunflower seeds (can you tell I like nuts?), and fresh strawberries.
No, I don’t have the tree up yet and it makes me very sad! I wanted to get it up early so I could enjoy it all month! This weekend, for sure.
Good luck in Vegas! You’re going to ROCK!! :)
Janae
There were a few leaves of spinach:) Okay, your salad sounds AMAZING!! Enjoy your three miles!
Nicole
Trainer session this morning and then back later for a treadmill/speed workout (maybe).
There is nothing original about what I put on my salads.
We won’t put up a Christmas tress. We travel for Christmas and anything left behind just becomes one big cat toy.
The Kidless Kronicles
Janae
GOOD LUCK on your speed workout, you will rock it! BAHAHAH Your cat would probably climb into the tree while you were gone. Have an amazing day Nicole!
Sarah
Is your purple jacket lululemon? Its super cute.
And thats the biggest container of cheese balls i have ever seen in my life. Why cant they sell mushrooms or broccoli in containers that big??
Janae
IT IS…I am obsessed!! My sis got that huge container for two dollars! Can you believe that?!?! Seriously…they need broccoli containers that same size!
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List
We have YET to get our tree!! I’m almost considering skipping it this year – Clara’s at the age where she’ll def. pull it down. But the thought of not having one makes me sad. What to do?
Jacqueline
stick a corral around it! my sister in law always does that to keep her kids off the tree. if you dont mind the way it looks… our girl is about to start crawling and i’m not sure if even a corral will keep her from pulling the tree over next year.
Heather@Just a Colorado Gal
Not sure on my workout yet–it’s dumping snow outside, but not enough to snowshoe or anything, and I hate the treadmill! Might go to a spin class or something later.
I put up my tree on Sunday! It’s definitely real but with my entire fam being in the horticultural industry, fake trees aren’t really allowed :) Plus I absolutely LOVE the smell!!!
Tiffany
First of all – you look adorable even if a little crazy ;-) Do you really only wash your hair once a week? I wish mine would look that good after skipping just one day! And what brand is that sweater? I’ve been admiring it for several posts now :)
We had BOTH of those ice creams for Thanksgiving and I agree, it is an awesome combo!
My workout today will be 2 miles – hopefully. Last week I got in a 5k without ITB problems but then after 1.6 miles on Tuesday it started hurting… lots of anger there :-p Hopefully I can get to atleast 2 today and just walk after that.
Girl… I am so jealous and excited for you for your race this weekend! Can’t wait to hear and see pics all about it!! :) Good luck!!
Tiffany
O – and I had bocca crumbles on my salad (Im a vegetarian) and it was soooo good. Some taco seasoning cooked with the crumbles makes it like a taco salad, mmmmmm makes me want one right now even tho it is only 9am est!
Janae
You really are so nice! Sometimes once a week but more often twice a week. It is a lulu sweater:) You had that same combo…we are meant to be bf’s! Hope your ITB is feeling better!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes
So jealous of that ice cream right now…. :)
Lindsey
Pickles and beets! And of course hummus :)
We have had our tree up for 2 weeks…and it is fake, having a real one would mean waiting to put it up and I am too impatient ;)
kari @ Running Ricig
My workout was a run on our terrible hotel treadmill again. Oh well.
I’m not sure what the last topping on my salad was, I think it was a oil and vinegar mixture.
Our tree is up and AWESOME. We chopped it down on Sunday, decorated it, then Bungee pulled it down, then we put it back up. I think it’s safe now :)
Janine @ThePurpleGiraffe
We’ll be getting our tree next weekend! We get a live tree, I love it!
My workout today will be a 2-2.5 mile run with mom, before cleaning my house for a CAbi party tonight.
Janae
That is so so fun that you run with your mom, I am jealous. Have a blast at your party tonight!
Janine @ThePurpleGiraffe
My mom had knee surgery in July and really wanted to get back into running. I told her that I’d train with her and she’s running her first 5k this weekend with me!
I’m making cheese fondue I think for tonight’s party… now if only I can keep myself from inhaling the whole pot!
Janae
WOW…that is so neat. I am so excited that you will be running that 5k with her. SO COOL. Um, you definitely need to try a bowl or two of the fondue before you serve it:)
Janine @ThePurpleGiraffe
… or three? Haha, I looove cheese fondue. I’m making a chocolate fondue too but that doesn’t hold the appeal for me like the cheese one does! For dippables, we have granny smith apples, garlic bread bites and broccoli florets… those are healthy, right? hahaha
Janine @ThePurpleGiraffe
(those dippables are for the cheese… we have strawberries, pretzel rods and rice krispy treats for the chocolate fondue!)
Allison
Successfully have gone to the gym before work [@ 5:30AM] the past three days- wahoo! Today I did 45 min on the elliptical and some abs…
Love TJ’s fire roasted corn, mushrooms, and salsa on top of my salads! Crumbled with a veggie burger doesn’t hurt either ;)
Janae
Allison…WAY TO GO!! That is awesome, don’t you love getting your workout on before work!! YUM…can I come over for a salad made by you, that sounds amazing!
Allison
HUGE salads + fro yo sounds delightful :)
Annette@EnjoyYourHealthyLife
I love good ice cream combos!! CHocolate and peppermint is the bombdotcom–so that looks delish!!
We’re getting our tree SOON!Wheeeee :)
Janae
Have so much fun getting your tree and go get yourself some peppermint and chocolate ice cream asap!
Chelsea@RunningISMyDiet
What is YOUR workout today?
Most likely a slow four miles after work (favorite loop)
What were the toppings of your last salad? I am always on the look out for new toppings to try!
My answer is WAY too boring to add…
Do you have your Christmas tree up? Do you have a real or fake tree?
Totally up!! We have a real tree, but IMO it is only real by association since we were “forced” due to time constraints to buy from the tree lot.
The ice cream combo is haunting me already at 7:25 am. And I am thankful I am not the only one who avoids showers and clothing diversity. To that point, I also do laundry specifically to have my fav sports bra clean!
Janae
Enjoy your favorite loop today after work! That is awesome that your tree is already up and I think that you need to get some ice cream ASAP!! Good to know I am not alone in my hygiene situation.
Emily@RunningPerspective
um that ice cream looks DELICIOUS!!!!
i love your jackettt it is so so cute where did you get it?!!!
usually do a real tree but each year my fam always gets the worst allergies from it so we learned our lesson FINALLY and bought a fake tree thats up already!!! love christmas time!!!!
Janae
HEY GIRL!! I got my jacket from lulu:) Enjoy this time of year and good luck with all of your studying…you WILL rock finals!
Jacqueline
modern family!
toppings on last salad: feta, edamame, bacon. yum.
i’m a real tree kind of girl. i love the smell and i like that they aren’t all perfect. my family only buys noble firs. but this year we went and cut down a little tree on our mapleton farm and… it doesn’t smell at all! i’m so sad. maybe i’ll stop watering it and let it die and convince b to buy me a new one that smells good.
workout is 3 mile jog around the neighborhood with baby g- hoping it wont snow. yet.
good luck in vegas!
ps how did your hairline fractures feel? b thinks he might have one.
Janae
HEY YOU!! Seriously, there is nothing better than the smell of a real tree! AHHHHH you might have a stress fracture? Mine was crazy painful and especially if I jumped up…the landing hurt really bad. I could barely stand on one leg at a time and had to lay down to put on my pants. I am praying that yours isn’t serious and please keep me updated!
PPS Bacon should always be on salads.
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud!
We are going to get a REAL tree this weekend! i cannot waaaaait. it will be the first year in probably 5 years we have had a real tree. I am thinking about spraying it with fake snow because this is my first xmas without snowy alaska. weird
Janae
WAHOOOOOOO I am so happy you are getting a real tree, that is so exciting! WOW, you really are going to have a white christmas this year:)
Theresa
you are watching modern family, SCORE! <3
workout today will be 5 miles of hills on the treadmill. hopefully this run goes better then yesterdays!
toppings on my last salad…my last one was at outback, which was awesome…especially bc i took your advice and used the tangy tomato dressing, party in my mouth!!
no christmas tree up yet…we are very undecided because we know as soon as we put one up, the cats will probably climb up into it and destroy it…trying to work around it, haha
Janae
Bummer about yesterday’s run but today’s WILL be awesome right:) I LOVE outback salad’s and I am so happy that you loved the dressing…I want to learn how to make it myself! Maybe put a fence around your tree;) Have an amazing day Theresa!
Brittany *Sparkles*
Ohhhhmygosh I LOVE peppermint!!! My favorite thing about Christmas!! next to everything being lit up with sparkles and good cheer :-D Another *fantastic* combo is Fresh Strawberry/Peppermint! the kind of Strawberry ice cream with strawberry halves in it!!
My workout last night was The Sunset Workout from ToneItUp.com and the first move was AWESOME! it was like a pike jump thingy… no run yesterday bc I’ve gotten a really bad cold/throat and didn’t wanna push it :(
NEWEST thing I’ve tried was making WHEAT BERRIES! They’re kinda chewy and I love it and I haven’t put them on a salad yet but I’m going to.. they’re a super grain like quinoa only I think I like them far far better.
My roommate and I have a mini tree.. and I also have a tiny silver sparkle tree with like 4 branches that looks like the Charlie Brown tree hahaha
P.S. I love that you wear that lululemon jacket all the time – let’s be real, when you have a new fav jacket it just gets worn EVERY day!
Janae
I am going to have to try the strawberry combo…thanks!!! I am going to try toneitup.com….sounds crazy hard! I have never eaten wheat berries…dang you are giving me all sorts of great ideas to try! Thanks Brittany!
Crissy
Modern Family! It is my favorite show as well as The Big Bang Theory.
Workout: 5.5 miles of Speedwork on the treadmill this morning. I was supposed to do 6, but I ran out of time so I skipped the last half mile cooldown.
Last topping on salad: I had a salad yesterday with lettuce, celery, cheddar cheese and grilled chicken. I know, not very exciting, but it was all in the fridge.
Christmas tree: My husband and I bought an pre-lit artificial one last year and it is already up! I love it! I was against them for a while, but I like that we will be able to enjoy it longer. If you use multi-color lights on a tree it makes a HUGE difference if there are white lights mixed in. Not all sets have this and it really makes the tree brighter.
Janae
AWESOME WORKING!! You speedster. Cheddar cheese is an awesome salad topper. I am so happy your tree is already up and ready to go! Have an amazing day Crissy!
Kate @ Chasing It
omg omg omg best ice cream combo ever!!! I mean, peppermint ice cream on top of a real brownie is good, so obviously that would be an epic combo. I’ve got the Edy’s (maybe it’s Dreyer’s out where you are?) Peppermint and after 2 days its like halfway gone. I need to find a way to keep my dad from eating it all before I get to it tonight!
Janae
When we run out of the brownie ice cream I will be trying your idea of putting the peppermint on top of a real brownie! HA….don’t you dare let anyone eat your ice cream (except for me maybe:)
April
I love any kind of guacamole, jalapeños and feta. But my new obsession is grated Brie cheese from Costco. So good on the salad!
Janae
YUM…..Thanks April, I will be buying that at Costco next time! Have an amazing day!
Jessica K (@irun26at8)
I have started pool running this week and I love it! It’s such a different workout. My coach does not want me running on land for a couple weeks after the 50 miler so that I am fresh for Boston training. Pool running is the next best thing!
I had a salad at a restaurant last week that was to die for…roasted butternut squash, cashews, parmesan, winter greens, cranberry-balsamic….yummmm.
Janae
Jessica!! That is so so cool that you are enjoying pool running so much. Your coach is smart and I think I might try that before my next marathon cycle so I can start with super fresh legs! Um….your salad is making me drool!
Rachel
ok don’t judge me….
apples, cheddar cheese, pretzels…and broccoli.
I’m weird and gross, I know haha but it was actually THE best salad ever!
Yay Mitchell and Cam!!
Good luck in Vegas :)
Janae
Rachel, I would never judge you because those salad toppings sound absolutely incredible! I will be trying that. Have an amazing day Rachel!
Missy
Modern Family! LOVE IT!
Oh Christmas tree, oops, I knew I forgot something. I hope I get it up today. Ugg so behind this year.
Janae
Have fun getting your tree today! Were you bummed like I was that it was a rerun of MF last night?!?!
Erica
I cannot tell you how incredibly delicious that combo looks. I love new flavor ideas.
Here is mine for you, this is my lunch today………..romaine and spinich topped with cucumber, green pepper, peas, carrots, tomato, tuna salad……….and crushed sour cream and cheddar chips.
Our house is very zen, so we have a fake tree white lights and a winter white tree skirt. Simple, but perfect.
Janae
TRY THE NEW COMBO…I know that you will love it. UM….can I come for lunch and split your salad? Your house decorations sound so cozy and I love simplicity! Have an amazing day!
CatieB
Oh!! I LOVE peppermint ice cream! It’s my favorite!
I’m not sure what my workout will be tonight… I’m sore from last nights workout!!
No tree up yet… I gotta get on that :-)
Janae
Don’t you love it when you are sore from a workout…it makes me feel so hard core. Way to go CATIE!
Amy
that ice cream looks awesome!!! like most ice creams…im not picky.
we dont have a tree up yet..im sure we will put one up but its hard since we always leave town during xmas (parents house) soooo i donno we’ll see. i love holiday decorations!
Janae
That is how I feel….we will be at my parents house for most of the break so I don’t know if it is worth it….I am sounding like Scrooge:)
Jodi @ Southern Flavored Life
Lordy mercy; I love that jacket you’re wearing!
The brownie ice cream is my favorite (or one of my faves) :-). I can go without the peppermint, though…ick! Oh, and Modern Family, of course….I’d recognize Cam anywhere!
Janae
Thanks girl! You are so sweet. BAHAHAHA I am glad that you are just as obsessed with Cam as I am:)
Katherine @ Neon Blonde Runner
I ran 8 miles this morning with my dear Brittany (www.btypes.com).
And then since I’m off of work on vacation (!!!) I am just going to relax in bed and catch up on some good laziness.
Janae
SO SO FUN….I want to come on your next run together:) ENJOY the laziness…that is awesome!
Andrea
I have my first ever session with a personal trainer today. I’m excited!
I do have our Christmas tree up! Went and picked up a real one on Monday. Lights only on 3/4 of it…gotta get more for our Clark Griswold style tree. :)
I’m into southwest salads right now. I top my lettuce with corn, black beans, cilantro, tomatoes, cheese and then I mix some salsa, ranch dressing and cumin together. It’s yummy!
Janae
Have fun with your personal trainer today! That is awesome! That salad sounds incredible! Yay for your tree being up.
Danica @ GirlsThatRun
Have you ever tried the flavored sliced almonds they sell in the produce aisle? So good on salad! I love the honey roasted ones but I think they have things like ranch and spicy cajun too. Have fun in VEGAS! There is a giant candy store in Caesar’s Palace just so you know :)
Janae
I haven’t tried those….I will be going to the grocery store after school to get them now:) Um…..thanks for the heads up on the candy store, I will be going there every day I am in LV now!
Rosa - Fitness Food Fulfilled
I did a short 3 mile run this morning. Also my last one before the LV half.
That picture of Billy with the cheese puffs is so funny. He makes a good cheese puff daddy. :)
Janae
WAHOO…I can’t wait to meet you!! BAHAHA Your comment about him being a cheese puff daddy absolutely made my day!
Grecia
I am totally stealing your salad combo for my lunch today it looks so yummy!
Janae
TRY IT…you will love it!
Kim
I need to try that peppermint ice cream!
My workout today is going to be some living room yoga and ab work. I’m on about hour 14 right now of my 16 hour workday and then I need to be back for another 16 about 7 hours after I leave (crazy, right?), so sleep seems like a much wiser use of my time than a long workout.
What were the toppings of your last salad? I am always on the look out for new toppings to try!
I’m pretty boring. My last salad had pears, grilled portobellas, grapes, and sunflower seeds with ginger dressing.
Do you have your Christmas tree up? Do you have a real or fake tree?
I just started doing a tiny bit of Christmas decorating the other day, but I think I may actually skip a tree this year. I like real ones so much more but I’ve been doing fake lately for the convenience.
Danielle
haha modern family!
I picked up some tart frozen yogurt, like the kind pinkberry and I assume yogurtland has – it’s dangerous, and not safe in the house!
Kerry @ Half Healthy, Half Nuts
Mmm, peppermint ice cream sounds delish! No workout today … yet. I was too cozy this morning to get up and run in the cold, so I’m planning on doing something exercise related when I get home from work. We’ll see if it happens. (IT MUST!)
Kristin @ Everyday Is Run Day
Lately I’ve been obsessed with butternut squash, brussel sprouts, and cranberries on my salad. I also love to throw fruit in there when I can (and when I think it might not be a weird taste combination).
I hope to get out for a run this evening. It’s getting tougher and tougher sicne it’s basically dark at 4:30pm.
Lori
We used to buy those industrial sized tubs of cheese balls for my daughter when she was little. She had perpetually orange fingers!
My workout today is a 2 mile run after work. It finally stopped raining/snowing so I’m excited to get outside.
I love chopped hardboiled eggs on a salad. I also like cucumbers, chick peas, quinoa or pearl couscous, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes and, of course, lots of cheese!
We have one tree up. We bought a fake tree this year to put up in our living room and we will put a real tree in the family room, probably next weekend. I grew up with a real tree every year…I can’t imagine not having one!
Jim @ rugoingtorundaddy
We’re going Friday after my daughter’s school gets out to pick out a tree from a nearby Christmas tree farm (Peltzer Pines) …I’ve had this fake tree sitting in a box in our garage and I dread setting that monstrosity up.
Okay I know I’m going to get some weird looks on this, but I cut up leftover pizza slices and use that as my salad topper – the more pizza toppings on the leftover, the better the salad topping. (Some broccoli florets might make it on top of there too – depends on how much room is left in the bowl)
Samantha
I’m obsessed with dicing apples and putting them in my salads now! Such a fun combo! Pepperoncinis are also a wonderful add :)
First day of advent calendars!!! You bet I just ate my piece at 10:38am!
natalie @ southern fit foodie
MODERN FAMILY!!!! Love it!
My workout today is teaching an abs/core class and then teaching a zumba class.
My last salad was at Jason’s Deli, so I think it had every single vegetable they had available, hummus, and slight drizzle of balsamic and light honey mustard (so good together!). Oh yes, it also had some nuts and craisins. :)
I have a fake tree, but it is not going up this year. We are going to MEXICO for Christmas, so we won’t be home to celebrate. I am super pumped about a warm sunny Christmas on the beach with my family!!! This also means I don’t have to go through the whole “jamming the tree back into the box that it could not have possibly originaly been in because now it just won’t fit” deal.
FoodFaithFitness
Ran the monster bridge this am….twice. Your sis is on to something. Peppermint and chocolate are my fave. Tree has been up since black Friday!
Chef Katelyn
Um OUTFIT OF THE WEEK fo me is black leggings, white v-neck hands tshirt and a juicy pink hoodie. bing bam boom.
J @ ... semplicemente j ...
I will have my old skinny tree and I want a new fatty tree … but I don’t know if it’s going to happen …
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail
You had me at peppermint ice cream–may favorite holiday treat! I’m going to do an easy run on the treadmill this afternoon.
Our place is pretty small, so we have decorations, but no tree :( My family grew up with a real one during the holidays though. Loved the process of picking one out, decorating, watering it…ah, the holidays!
Miranda
I love decorating for Christmas, we have a fake tree, living in the middle of nowhere there isn’t a huge selection of ‘real’ trees, the grocery store usually gets a few in but they are pretty sad looking.
I haven’t had a salad in weeks, but usually it’s cucumbers, red peppers, feta, chia seeds and homemade balsamic.
Cannot wait to meet you Saturday, I am traveling with a crowd, but surely I can talk them into some ice cream, and Hungry Runner Girl!! I know one of my friends will be up for it, on our last run together we were talking about you!! She reads you too :)
stephanie
I used to do that to my parents too!! but my new apt came with a washer/dryer so now I just steal her food. No lie, on Sundays she packs a target bag (sometimes 2) or groceries to give to me!
my run was a sloooow 5 miles. darn taper and the need to go slow. I hadn’t run in 3 days it made me think of you. I was going crazy, I cant imagine how you feel being on that routine for so long! that takes some big will power!
Shannon
No workout for me today…feeling a bit sick :( I miss the endorphins today!
My daughter loves those cheese ball snacks that Billy is holding! LOVES them! That ice cream combo looks great! I am a sucker for peppermint ice cream so any time you add chocolate to that makes me happy!
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile
I seriously love you for showing me this ice cream combo. Chocolate and peppermint is soooo good!
I had an awesomeee 6 mile run. It was beautiful outside! :D
I went to panera for lunch and tried the new Turkey one? It had pears, walnuts I think, dried cherries, and gorgonzola. It was good but I could totally re-make it at home and make it even better. I liked the pears and dried cherries though!
I don’t have it up yet but I will soon!! We have a fake one. I think I’m just going to get a tree smelling candle :)
born to endure
We have our tree up and it’s fake..but hey..it’s new and lights included..love it.
Oh and LOVE the ice cream..yummmyyyyyyy
Ali Mc
I want those cheese balls!!
Ali Mc
Also – I’m like that at my moms too…I think it’s ok if it’s your parents …or inlaws ;)
Katie
Wow, we are totally the same person. I always have an outfit of the week. Everyday when I get home, I change into it. This week it is a pair of sweatpants, a long sleeve T, and a hoodie, because it is COLD in our house. My boyfriend actually makes fun of me if I don’t change when I get home, as in: “Something is off. You are wearing jeans on the couch.” :)
elise
i really think modern family is the best show on tv.
im 29 and i live 350+ miles from my parents and i STILL bring home laundry. actually when i lived in nyc and was coming home to ca, i packed laundry and flew with a stinky suitcase full of clothes. so classy.
i dont see this changing any time soon.
Leslie
Modern Family BABY! I love Cam and Mitchell :) :)
Also, must try that amazing ice cream combo STAT!
Lauren
My last workout for about a week (Cardio anyway) was elliptical and I decided to walk on the treadmill since I was getting surgery anyway haha.
Salad topping = orange slices on a spinach salad. It’s really good, I swear! I don’t believe you like blue cheese, but I swear it’s a good combo with pecans and the oranges!
PS. I have this recipe for mint brownies that I made (literally) 5 times in a month last Christmas. If you would like it, let me know! It’s SO easy.
Alexa @ Simple Eats
Your sister is right on point with that ice cream combo…sounds awesome! The other day I topped my salad with roasted grape tomatoes, goat cheese, toasted walnuts and balsamic…SO good!
Dorry
I love you in your lululemon Stride Jacket!! :) :)
Sabrina @ Radioactive Runner
I LOVE your lululemon sweater… the color is so nice!
I did level 2 of yoga meltdown.. it was just too cold for me today to get out for a run.
Mindee
LOVE modern Family! Its so funny! That Ice cream combo looks devine..definitley have to try that one asap!! My work out this evening was wonderful! I did 3.8 miles, on a new route around my house! Such a great run. I posted about it on my blog, go check it out if ya have time : ) Good luck in Las Vegas girl! You rock!
Luv What You Do
I love the color of your Lulu top of the week!
Liz
LuluLemon Sweatshirt <3

I was looking at your blog too fast, I thought Billy was eating his cheese puffs with a spoon. Dedication.

Hi just happened upon your website via Yahoo after I typed in, “Attacking the pantry.” or something similar (can’t quite remember exactly). In any case, I’m happy I found it because your subject material is exactly what I’m searching for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don’t mind if I gather some information from here and I will of course credit you as the source. Many thanks. Kindest regards www
