5 Random Facts About Me

1. On average I have moved every two years of my life. I'm 36 years old today. Do the math. . . that's a lot of new homes!

2. I went to three high schools and five colleges (yet managed to graduate on time)!

3. My Nana passed away when I was a child, but I feel completely connected to her. We're kindred spirits. In my heart, I believe her spirit watches over me.

4. My blog is centered around the philosophy of making the healthiest food and exercise options you can on a daily basis, but I struggle with a wicked sugar addiction! I cannot be trusted with certain sweets in the house (i.e. quality cakes with superior icing, dark chocolate in most forms, chocolate chip cookies). It takes incredible will power for me to avoid them. To challenge myself and beat those cravings, I purchase dark chocolate bars and keep them in the pantry!

5. The pets I adopt/save turn out to be crazy (or maybe my family drives them insane). Jolie (the cat I rescued while living in Korea) was the sweetest, most loving animal imaginable at the shelter but turned into a devil cat upon taking her home. She'd howl at the corners of the walls, scratch people randomly, dive attack . . . Then there was Clancy, the sled dog from Alaska. He escaped daily- while chained to a stake in a fenced-in yard! He'd pull the stake out of the ground, hop a six foot fence, and run down the middle of the road with stake and chain trailing behind him... Now we have Rookie Belle, the Norwich Terrier. She is gaining on two and yet still prefers pooping in the damn house! If you have any suggestions on breaking her of this nasty preference, I'm open to any and all ideas!


*Bonus Fact: If I die tomorrow... I die knowing I did three things right in this life: creating Brenden, Brielle and Bridget. They are my world. Shane, my husband, knows I love him fiercely, but there is something so basic, innate and overpowering about a mother's love for her children!



I try to do product reviews on Friday, but I had to put my review on hold for this post! This week, I'm going to promote 5 blogs in leiu of my favorite product.
