I like to share a little recap of my week at the start of each party:

Margarita_Hero_650
On Friday night, I made homemade margaritas! It is SO easy to do with only 3 ingredients. In a shaker, combine the juice of 2 limes, 4 oz of water, 2 oz of tequila and 1 oz of agave nectar. Shake and serve in a salt rimmed glass. I enjoyed this margarita with My Brother's Salsa and their organic corn tortilla chips. I went with the cucumber tomato salsa and it was delicious! What I love about My Brother's Salsa is that the salsa is all natural, gluten free, no preservatives, no sugar added, low sodium and no artificial colors or flavors. The ingredients are listed right on their website!

Last weekend, my daughter had a Brownies event at a nearby park. We walked on the trail and made nature bracelets. We also saw TWO snakes, one was by my feet when we stopped on a trail, but thankfully it was just a little one! Yikes!

I went for a run on my favorite trail this week and the leaves are really starting to fall. So pretty! I also finally got a chance to whip up the Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes that Influenster sent me. I added some extras to them to make them loaded mashed potatoes!

Nugget, our hamster has been under the weather. He is on antibiotics and a steroid, because the vet thinks he has an inner ear infection. He sort of leans to one side and was really bad before we started the medicine. He could barely walk without falling over. Now he seems to be able to walk, but he's sleeping A LOT. So, I don't know what will happen. He goes off the medicine in a couple of days and I'm worried he will get worse again. Nathan got to camp this weekend for cub scouts! Camping is one of his favorite things to do!
Full Disclosure: The salsa and mashed potatoes were gifted to me in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% mine.

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

I haven't really set any specific goals for myself with half marathons, except to try to PR. However, I haven't PR'ed my 2:06 time in a couple years! After training ...

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
