My Friday Five – Ironman, Croquet, 5k!

My adventures in blogging have been sidelined a little bit this summer by my adventures in life. Aside from work being a bit crazy, the last few weeks have been filled with some events we’ve been looking forward to and preparing for all summer. 1 | My Ironman – Todd started training in late winter

My Friday Five – 4th of July Festivities

Here we are at Friday once again! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. The weather was glorious here, which was much needed after a few weeks of heavy rain and even some flooding here in Des Moines. I had a few days off, and while I wasn’t overly productive, I sure enjoyed

Happy almost weekend everyone! This week passed by in a flash. I hope the weekend takes it’s own sweet time! This week’s Friday Five is brought to you by my inner Super Hero. If only I could clone myself (or have a super cool alter ego), I could fit everything in. Until then, I’ll just

My Friday Five – Rest Please!

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty happy to see this week come to a close. I have a high threshold before meeting my “max limit” and this week I was there by Wednesday. I feel like I need some yoga in my life, but it stresses me out trying to figure out how to fit it

I didn’t manage to get any new project posts up this week. I have a few to write about, just not enough hours some weeks to fit it all in! For some reason I’ve had a bit of insomnia lately, so falling asleep by 8:30 some nights has not been terribly productive. Hopefully I’m back on

My Friday Five – Spring Break Fun at Home

Oh, hello Friday… I couldn’t be happier to see you! It was hard to get back into our routine after Carter’s spring break last week. We didn’t jet off anywhere exotic, but made some good memories right here in Des Moines. Carter went to the school program a few days while Todd and I worked. He

My Friday Five – March Madness

Here we are at the end of another week. Most of the schools here were on spring break this last week. While we didn’t jet off to somewhere warm, and I’m incredibly jealous of those who did, I was happy to have taken a few days off to spend with Carter AND the office was fairly
