I love Sheryl Sandberg. I think she's brilliant and an inspiration. In fact, one time, I got the bright idea to just email her and ask for a job. It must have gone to her spam by accident. Bummer. But in all honesty, I'd love to work for her. So...

We leave for London/Edinburgh in 11 days! C lived in London for a few years when he was working and I've never been! Even though I spent six months studying abroad, I wanted to visit smaller cities that I might not otherwise have had the opportunity...

When C and I first started venturing into the world of Paleo eating, I was a bit bummed that I'd have to give up baking. But, to my excitement, there are lots of great recipes out there for Paleo-friendly baked goods. So you know I had to give it a...

I was recently chatting with her friend about the frustration of connecting with her boyfriend while he was away in Spain on business. The internet was spotty and he was very busy so they weren't able to talk very much over Skype. I asked her if they...

In three weeks, I'll no longer have an income. While that's slightly terrifying, I'm doing what I can to prepare. That means, limiting my spending to only the necessities (and yes, wedding related expenses) for the next few months. I thought...

A few weeks back, my friend's sister asked if I'd be interested in making golf themed cupcakes for her son's 2nd birthday. She remembered a while back when I casually mentioned on this blog that I wanted to get paid to bake things for people. I was...

1. Recovery week felt awesome. A few easy workouts to loosen up the muscles and a great ride with Becca on Friday. I'm excited to get back on my bike some more, especially off the trainer and onto the roads. By the way, if you're in the DFW area and...
