I usually make a Bunny Cake for Easter... but I might have a new favorite fun dessert idea!! It's super easy and cute! Just like the bunny cake it can double as a center piece (if you don't eat them too fast). And this easy Easter dessert recipe – made from toasted coconut and topped with a few ...

Carob Chips are not Chocolate Chips
Hello! I majorly failed at yoga today – but not in class because I never made it I was super proud of myself for getting there early – that never happens! But it turns out I was extremely early because I got the time of the class wrong. Fail. I didn’t want to sit and wait an hour, so I opted to run ...

No Run Yes Yoga
I sprung out of bed this morning, but it looks like the rest of the gang felt like sleeping in… I don’t think Vegas was happy that I woke him up earlier than noon. He reminded me that a growing cat needs 22 hours of sleep a day No run for me this morning because I am going to hit up yoga. I ... Read More about No Run Yes Yoga
Frozen Cashews
The other day I spotted some cashews in my freezer and had a handful. (I keep the nuts that don’t fit in my cupboard container in the freezer so they won’t go rancid.) Well, turns out frozen cashews are better than room temperature ones! They have an extra bit of crunch to them that I love! I’ve ... Read More about Frozen Cashews
Lunching Around
I had an appointment this morning and knew I’d be out over lunch time. So, I packed up my leftovers from dinner and ate them on the go! This was perfect because I was hungry right after my appt. and ate it on the way to some errands without having to go out of my way back home. I also picked up ... Read More about Lunching Around
Cereal Mix
Morning and Happy Tuesday! I started my day with a 4 mile run and some much needed stretching. My IT band has been super tight and I don’t want to neglect it! This morning’s breakfast started with a bed of yogurt and a tiny bit of leftover pumpkin. I had to snap a picture first because I knew you ... Read More about Cereal Mix

Newport Back Bay Loop Run
Today I went for a late morning run in Orange County. I’ve heard great things about the Newport Back Bay Loop and have only run to the loop, but not all the way around it. Bobbi lives an hour and a half inland, but was heading to the OC for some fun today. We decided to meet up and try the Back ... Read More about Newport Back Bay Loop Run
What To Eat Before A Run
I am meeting up with Bobbi today for a long-ish run. I think she wants to do about 9-10 miles so I needed to fuel up before hand. This is the two of us before our Fun Run in December. What Should I Eat Before Running? Normally before a run of 3-7 miles I will eat a handful of cereal or a few ... Read More about What To Eat Before A Run
Sign My Cone
Major blogger fail today I broke my memory card after taking pictures of my lunch, snack and fun times. Busted. Literally. Now I need to get a new memory card tomorrow, but all the pics from today are lost. This is the second memory card I’ve broken this year too! This is why I can’t have nice ...

A Day of Rest
Today is my day of rest, and I’m not just talking about in the Biblical sense I always take the day after a long run as a rest day from exercise. I may take a short walk if I want to stay loose, but I don’t do anything structured. This morning Ben and I took a walk to the store for a Sunday paper ... Read More about A Day of Rest
Gaffey Street Diner and 15 miler
This morning I woke up early for a long run. We had exciting plans and I wanted to make sure I was done at an early enough time! I pre-fueled for my run with iced coffee and a bagel and some Mighty Maple PB. I tried this new-to-me Gu Brew for my handheld water bottle. It is not good. But, I was ...

Blonde Moment
This afternoon I was blonde again… Not literally, but in the un-politically correct stereotype that I’m a spaz. *Even though this is April Fool’s Day, me as a blond is a bad joke I don’t want to remember. For those that don’t know I am a natural red head, but was having a quarter life crisis ... Read More about Blonde Moment

My Run–75 Marathon Documentary
Tonight I met up with some fun runner girls for dinner and a movie! I got an email from a PR rep for My Run a few weeks back, but it fell off my radar until I realized it was being played super close and some fellow runners were going to see it! My Run is a documentary about Terry Hitchcock, a ... Read More about My Run–75 Marathon Documentary
