Friday Five – Favorite Things at the Moment IV

Happy Friday! Another snowstorm paid a visit to DC yesterday, leaving us with 4-5 inches of snow.  While I am so ready for spring, I have to admit the city does look beautiful in the snow.  Today I am linking up with Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia. This week’s theme is Friday Favorites...I bring to you my fourth edition!  1. Bakehouse Almond Rooibos Tea Latte In my first Favorite Things at the Moment post I included my neighborhood bakery.  My friend Ali and I…

Monthly Goals – March 2015

February did not turn out as expected.  I was extremely happy to kick off the month injury free - the foot pain I experienced in December and January was finally gone! I was really excited to increase my mileage again, and thought my goals were challenging yet attainable.  Transitioning to a new/old project took more time than expected, and unfortunately the work/life balance took a hit (especially in the fitness department). Today I am going to recap my February goals…

Tasty Thursday – Austin Eats

One of my favorite aspects of traveling is exploring the local food scene.  Today I wanted to share some of my Austin Eats from this past weekend. On Friday we arrived shortly before noon with no plans for the day.  After some quick research we saw there was a restaurant close by called Moonshine Grill Patio and Bar.  Very cute, right? We were seated and given popcorn and cornbread as appetizers!  I know so many restaurants use mason jars as…
