Yesterday was Mother’s Day. The one day of the year we officially section off specifically to celebrate our moms. I know it’s been said a million times, but really one day isn’t enough. Because if you have an amazing mom like I do, you really should stop to tell her how much she means to… Continue reading Mother’s Day

Two Months Until Marathon
Today is officially two months until my scheduled marathon on June 4 in San Diego. In a perfect world, I’d be doing a lot of speed work right now in an effort to get my marathon time under 4 hours. Instead, I’m working my way back to 30 minutes of consistent running. I’m… Continue reading Two Months Until Marathon
UnSipped is on Facebook!
I’m a total Instagram girl at heart. I seriously could spend hours liking pictures of roasted carrots and beets. When someone comes up with new almond butter/yogurt/granola bowl in a way I’ve never seen before, I’m in awe of their talent. I’ve liked hundreds of thousands of pictures from people I don’t know and… Continue reading UnSipped is on Facebook!
Worrying About What Others Think
This weekend I ran across a quote that I love. It’s by Eleanor Roosevelt. It goes like this: “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you, if you realized how seldom they do.” I’ve sure I’ve heard this before, but for some reason it really sunk in this time. I… Continue reading Worrying About What Others Think
Birthdays are the Best
Birthdays are a big deal in our house. We don’t just celebrate the day, or the weekend, we have upped the ante to a whole week… or maybe two weeks, if I’m being honest. So while today is my actual birthday, I’ve been celebrating for a few days now. And by celebrating, I… Continue reading Birthdays are the Best
Birthday Eve
Tomorrow is my birthday. That means today is the last day as a 36-year-old. I have to say as years go, 36 was pretty awesome. I grew a lot this past year. I tried new things, got way outside my comfort zone, and just generally enjoyed life more than I can ever remember.… Continue reading Birthday Eve
Cheers to 2016 and Here’s to a Beautiful New Year!
So, it’s almost a wrap on 2016, and I have to say overall it’s been a pretty amazing year for me. A serious highlight for me- Starting this blog. I got the idea in January of this year after reading You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. Side Note: If you haven’t read… Continue reading Cheers to 2016 and Here’s to a Beautiful New Year!
December 1
So, how many times today did you hear, “I can’t believe it’s December !” If you’re like me, I’m sure you stopped counting. Or maybe you were even the one saying it. It’s not uncommon to hear people make a big deal over the year “going fast,” but today seemed more shocking to people than… Continue reading December 1
Thanksgiving Eve
I believe that Christmas and New Year’s Day are not the only holidays worthy of an “eve”. And so that makes today Thanksgiving Eve. You can feel the happiness in the air today, as people get off work a little early, or start their travels to see family and friends. There are plenty… Continue reading Thanksgiving Eve
Training the Owner
When it comes to dogs, I’m heavy on the praise and light on the discipline. Training and structure are not my strong suits. I excel at hugs and kisses, but my “nos” are few and far between. I have a funny feeling that needs to change. My husband and I recently adopted an… Continue reading Training the Owner
