Scheduling Your Life As A Woman: is it such a good thing for us?

I know this is a long post..and I’m sorry. But it has just been weighing on my heart and mind all day. —— I’m not even sure how to write this post, because there are SO many angles, topics, thoughts on this topic. Woman, femininity, sex, careers, life. I didn’t even think of writing this … Continue reading →

Finally, I Did 20 Minutes!

This weekend has been a whirlwind, namely because I’ve under the influence of a completely awful head cold. I went to the pharmacist and told the lady “please take my driver’s license number down, because I need the proper sudafed”. Then I found these babies..do you remember the Ludens cherry cough drops growing up? Man, … Continue reading →

Wedding Brain Update: What I’m learning

Oh man…I daily get asked “how’s the wedding planning going?” “Ugh… I’d rather poke my eyes out with a dull pencil” I reply. Most people have NO idea how to circumvent my complete dislike of wedding planning…so they usually smile awkwardly and then say something polite and positive like “oh, but you’ll love it soon … Continue reading →

Monday Weigh-In: Peace

So..I haven’t exactly been Paleo this week…all the time. I mean how can you turn down an American Flag Cake? More so..I think it hit me this week..that I’m GETTING MARRIED! I don’t know what it is, but the idea of being a WIFE is much more profound and larger than being a girlfriend or … Continue reading →

In fact, yesterday I decided that I’d go running around 4:30pm..the sun was out..but it was a liar. It was freezing cold. I was rugged up with two layers and gloves … Continue reading →

Why I’m Going to “Star Trek” Tonight

Andrew and I got back from the engagement party with a suitcase full of card, generous gifts and a book that I was dying to get into.   I think that it’s easy, in any relationship, to get caught up in a self-ish angle. “Why isn’t he helping around the house?” “How many bloody times … Continue reading →

From The Core Out

I was in the bath last night, you see I take my iPad with me in there to read…thank goodness I haven’t actually dropped it in yet, and I was reading through a post on FB that Miz put up about Heidi Klume paying her kids to drink healthy smoothies. I wouldn’t pay my kids … Continue reading →

Engagement Party

We trekked to Wallaroo, South Australia for our engagement party. It was such an good experience for me. It’s a blending of cultures, it’s a blending of families. I’m finding my own feet in the new role that I play as the ‘future-daughter-in-law’. It was weird to hear that, oddly comforting, and yet foreign. Looked … Continue reading →
