Happy Halloween! If you trick-or-treat at my house tonight, you'll be greeted by a barking Batpuppy: I celebrated Halloween yesterday by carving pumpkins and watching scary movies with my hubby, and making jack-o-lantern stuffed peppers for dinner. Are you celebrating the holiday with some treats? If you're looking for a way to offset those extra candy calories today, try this at-home Halloween workout: And speaking of workouts, today I'm sharing what I've been up to lately on the fitness front! I had a bit of an injury scare about a week and a half ago, when I spent a few days thinking that I might have broken my middle toe after tripping at my door when walking inside from my backyard. Total klutz move! I was totally sober, but I was going to open wine, so I may have ... [Read More]

Currently Crushing On: Halloween Edition
Happy almost Halloween! Anyone doing anything fun for it? Unfortunately I won't be dressing up because we don't have any Halloween obsessed friends that are throwing parties this year, but I love celebrating the holiday anyways. To me, Halloween kicks off the holiday season, which I always love (I know, too soon! Although Home Depot is already decked out for Christmas...). I love seeing all of the cute kid costumes from our trick-or-treaters. But since I don't have any kiddos to dress up, I'll be making Harley wear her headless horsemen rider outfit probably all day today and tomorrow... She hates it and it's hilarious. When she runs, the headless horseman starts falling to the side, and then she turns around and tries to bite it off. It's pretty entertaining (though it may be ... [Read More]

I haven't shared a workout in quite awhile! Yesterday evening I came home from a marathon of food shopping (because you know I have to go to the food store on the Marine Corps base for some things because it's much cheaper, then Trader Joe's for some produce and specialty stuff, then the Vitamin Shoppe for ...

My Annual Halloween Themed Night In + Italian Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Hi friends! How was your weekend? Mine just flew by and involved a major purchase: a new car! I didn't mention it at the time, but I had a scary car accident experience last month that left me fine but totaled the Toyota Corolla that I drove for 11 years. I had been wanting a new car for awhile but couldn't really justify looking for one since my current car was running fine, so the accident forced me to get one. Everything happens for a reason, and I'm pretty excited to now own a Hyundai Sonata. It's a hybrid car, which the environmentalist in me loves. Besides spending an entire day at the car dealership, highlights of my weekend were short hikes on both Friday and Sunday evening.... ...nabbing a sweet Batgirl Halloween costume for my Dingo... ...which surprisingly, she didn't seem ...
