ShareToday’s Workout: 6.1 Hilly miles- 66 min. TGIF! It’s about time! I don’t know about you, but this week felt like it took a few days longer than usual to finish up!

My Adventure with Pushups

By ColleenSelig | Published February 20, 2013

ShareToday’s Workout: Ran down the street and back home (seriously) Pushups/Crunches/Leg lifts For once it wasn’t me who decided to call today’s run off. My Dad and I made it down the street, the wind started howling, and boy-oh-boy was it cold- so Dad proposed the idea that there are still days left in the [...]

Two Things Tuesday

By ColleenSelig | Published February 5, 2013

ShareEvery morning when my alarm goes off, I transform into the meanest, grumpiest, 5 foot tall girl you will ever encounter. It is a well known fact to not talk to me until I have coffee, or at the very least, a few minutes to myself. Source: mr-moderngentleman.tumblr.com via Colleen’s on Pinterest Lately, I’ve [...]

Keep Your Eye On The Prize…Pie.

By ColleenSelig | Published November 14, 2012

ShareMy coffee maker broke and I inherited a really fancy one on the same day. My sister-in-law’s mother took pity on me the other day, and offered me her old Keurig Machine, since she recently upgraded to a new model. Now, you should know, I’ve been telling Pat for years that we are not buying [...]

A Monday Without Coffee

By ColleenSelig | Published November 12, 2012

ShareIt’s Monday, and I think my coffee pot is dead. The waters in, the coffee is there, the “brew” light is on. And nothing. It’s not even heating up. It really makes me want to hulk smash someone/ something. Or wake Patrick up to fix it, but that would be even more detrimental to my [...]

Back to School Food Plan

By ColleenSelig | Published August 28, 2012

Autumn

By ColleenSelig | Published August 21, 2012

ShareSummer isn’t over yet; but Fall is in the air. Literally, Pat bought a new air freshener and our house smells like maple pumpkin. (source) It’s also feeling like fall is creeping up on us outside. And back to school, clothing and supplies, commercials are everywhere. Whenever I think of fall, I always think [...]
