Macarons – Round One

Macarons - Round One

I am in no way, shape, or form a cook or baker. The last time I turned on the stove, I lost a battle with a pork chop and ended up with five blisters in various spots between my hand, shoulder and chest. That said, I’m going to attempt to make some French macarons tonight.

I Survived

I Survived

I’m a bit behind in my updates, but since I’ve mentioned my marathon training here a few times, like here and here, I wanted to let you know that I survived! My goal was to run it before I turned 30 in under 4:30, I finished it 4 days before I turned 30 in 4:26 so I’m happy.  After I

30 Lessons in 30 Years

30 Lessons in 30 Years

Today I turn 30.  I remember when I thought 30 was old.  A little part of me still thinks it’s old. I’ve learned so much about myself, people, and life’s ups and downs in the 3 decades I’ve been alive.  Inspired by Leo Babauta from Zen Habits, below is a list of 30 things, some more
