Today's Feature is Queso White Chicken Chili by Lydi Out Loud.

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

Last weekend we had a massive ice storm... that wasn't so massive. The kids got off of school on Friday and we did get a lot of ice, but then it was cloudy on Saturday and the temperature stayed just barely above freezing on Sunday and we didn't get the 3 days of freezing rain that was predicted. I was excited, because I had made reservations at The Tavern for Brian's birthday and we didn't have to cancel them. I got the Surf & Turf sampler for my meal and it was SO tasty! On Thursday, Nathan had his last Pinewood Derby and he went with a Star Trek theme for his car.

My main focus of the week was decorating our new IKEA shelves. Oh my goodness, those shelves can hold a lot! These two photos are sneak peaks, but I plan to do the FULL reveal of how I decorated them on January 31st! I can't wait! CommercialSilk sponsored some lovely grass pots for me to add to the shelves and you'll hear more about that in my future post! Brian was out of town for work for a few days this week and it kept me mighty busy with the kids and of course they had a lot of activities in the evening after school. Brian always brings us back gifts when he travels and I hope you tuned into my Instagram Stories to see what he brought back for us!

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.

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! ...
