Pink Personal Savers Sale! :)

I'm a little late on this (unfortunately) but Personal Savers is having a 35% off sale right now on all Pink Personal Savers, Wrist aver, Cycle Savers, and Baby Savers!!!
It ends TOMORROW! (June 8th) So go purchase now!!! :)


Click the picture to order now! The Personal saver is less than $10! I recently lost mine while rushing to get my daughter in the car at the grocery store when it was pouring down rain. I was so upset. I used the clip on that thing every single time I got out of the car to keep my keys on my pocket! So when I didn't have it, I felt naked!
I just ordered me anew one though! So I'm happy!
And since I've started my running in the early morning again, I've been using my wrist saver a lot more! I love having it so near by, knowing that if I ever need it, it's right there on my wrist! :)
Every athlete needs to carry pepper spray on them when they are alone! So why not buy some that is convenient and even has a light on it if you need it! :)
I will be back soon letting you all now about the awesome Stroller Strides class I'm taking right now! :) And how great I'm feeling after getting up at 6:30AM for my runs! :)

Tomorrow is Another Day...

I know it's been a while... Over a month to be exact. I've sat down many times to write and then easily became distracted and forgot all about it.

We have moved into our wonderful new house and absolutely loving it!  We have so much space and Sophie loves to go up and down the stairs! We are also loving our back and front yards! We love being outside! 

Short version about my job...I never started. I was basically let go before I even started because they decided to hire a family member after they had already told me I had the job. What can you do...

We also got a dog! He's an American Staffordshire Terrier and he's just a big ole teddy bear! 

Look at that face! :)

Sophie tortures the poor thing! lol

But she loves him! :)

Sophie also started and finished her one month of "school" and absolutely LOVED it! She wakes up most morning asking if she's going to school! It's so cute! :)

First Day of School! :)

Last day of school with our church friends! :)

In running news...I can run again!

If you follow me on my Facebook page, you had probably already seen that! I have run several times now with no hip pain! I am so excited! I'm planning on just running low mileage during the summer and trying to stay injury free! Plus it's too hot to run much anyway! :)

So that's the short versions of what has gone on for the past month...

Right now I'm in my hometown visiting family and going to my best friends daughters First Birthday!!!! Sophie had a blast at her birthday parity! I can't believe it was a year ago that I was down here for her birth! These kiddos grow too fast! 

Also...I am writing this on my iPhone, so if it doesn't look right, I'm sorry! I just thought this would be easier than the computer at the moment.

Hopefully I won't wait a month to update again! 

I'll be busy planning Sophie's SECOND birthday this next month! I can't believe she's going to be 2!!! :)

Big News!

One of the reasons I haven't been blogging much is because we just bought our very first house!!! Isn't it beautiful!
We don't move in until next week, but buying a house has taken a lot of time! I've been packing our apartment up a little at a time, but we still have A LOT to do!
It's hard to move with a toddler, because you don't want to shake their world up too much. They need their usual toys and to be able to find their favorite shoes amongst the boxes. Taking it slow and moving a little at a time just seemed like the best option.
We are going from a 2 bedroom apartment to a 4 bedroom home!  With a backyard! Down the street from a park! We are going to have so much space!  Being able to go outside in the back and down the street to the park is a huge deal for me!  Sophie and I LOVE being outside! I am so excited! I just can't even describe it! lol :)
And that's not all of the big news!
I also got a job!
It is an office job, where I will be doing the Nurse paperwork side of a Home Health Company! It's part time and I will be putting Sophie in Mothers Day Out 2 days a week and then an awesome, amazing, wonderful friend (Thank You Becky!) has offered to help out on other days!  Cody will be watching her for 2 days when he is off as well. So she won't have to go into Daycare, which was important to me! :)
I wasn't planning on getting a job, but this amazing opportunity just fell in my lap and I really felt the need to take it.  I am really looking forward to it!
These are some BIG changes that are about to happen in our family, so I may have to cut out blogging for a bit. I don't want to say I am going to quit, because I don't want to. I just may not be around as much as I would like to be. 
When family comes first, my blogging just seems to get pushed aside.
I haven't run since Rock N Roll Dallas either. I have been walking, when the weather cooperates, and doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I'm really enjoying the 30 day shred and hope it will get me closer to running shape again! I'm not sure when I will start running again, but I know I will probably start over with Couch to 5K and go from there. I put too much strain on my body doing those halfs so close together and my body needed a break.
I am trying to concentrate more on loosing weight now than just running. I know that will improve my running in the long run and that is important to me! :)
After we move and I get settled into my new job, I plan on joining a YMCA that is down the street from our house and hopefully I can blog about that journey! I want to take classes, like Zumba and Yoga, and I want to venture into weightlifting! I am super excited about all of that! :)
We are super excited about this new chapter of our lives!  Yes, I realize I say Super Excited way too much, but I can't help it! :)
I also have a lot of stuff going on with my Moms RUN This Town Chapter that has kept me pretty busy! We are having an awesome Virtual race coming up in July called Running Mad! Everyone has to be signed up by the end up April if you want a Medal! It's $11 until April 20th and then $15 after that!

 Isn't that an AWESOME medal! I can't wait to get mine! :)
I have said this a few times on my blog before, but I usually try to keep up on Facebook more now! So look me up there and follow me along my new journey of life! :)
P.S. Since Google Reader is getting the boot, I would love for you to follow me on BlogLovin! Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Rock N Roll Dallas Expo!

Yes, I realize this is a bit late! Sorry! :)

On Friday, March 22, 2013 I went to the Dallas RNR Expo!

After picking up my packet, some very nice ladies offered to take my picture!

After I picked up my shirt...

I got to see how long it was until the race!! :)

We got a pretty cool swag bag too! :)

While going through the expo, I won this bottle from a giant banana at Jamba Juice!

Sophie wasn't quite sure what to think of the giant talking banana!

She didn't want him near her though! lol 

I bought this awesome stuff called ZipFizz!

Have any of you ever tried it?

It's actually pretty tasty!

Pink Lemonade is my Favorite!

It's an All Natural, 10 calorie, zero sugar energy drink!

I've drank it several times now on my walks and I think it boosts my energy for sure!

I also bought this very cute, sparkly pink headband from Hippie Runner!

It was too cute to pass up! :)

I bought my very first Sweaty Band!

I LOVE this thing! It's sooo bright! 

This picture does not do it justice!

I bought all of this 13.1 stuff from a small shop and I cannot remember the name of it!

The socks and keychain say 13.1: I Don't Go All The Way!

I LOVED it! HaHa! Had to have them! 

All of my swag! I had a lot of fun walking around the expo!

I posted this on my Facebook page, but here was my Flat MaMa for the race!

I realized later that I didn't take a pic of my shoes!

I had to add it on, because I love my bright pink LockLaces and this is the first race I got to wear my 13.1 Shubeez! I was so excited! :)

The final thing I did before taking off for my race was changing my iPhone background to this pic!

Can you tell I love pink?! HaHa :)

The Recap is coming up soon! :)

Happy Band Review!

I recently had the opportunity to try out a Happy Band from Running Happy! :)

I love their description of their shop! 

'We're keeping the "fun in run"

A store operated by two running Mamma's with a "slight" cupcake addiction.  :)'

They were nice enough to send me a very cute Pink Camo Happy Band!

Actually, they sent me a SUPER Happy Band!
This is what they say on their website about the SUPER Happy Band:

'Guaranteed not to slip or your money back.

Perfect for those who just can't get a band to stay!  Add it to any Happy Band! '

See that little clip in the bottom picture? It's like a small comb that is pushed into your hair and it is extra help to keep that Happy Band in place while you sweat your heart out! It already has the velvet on the bottom to make it non-slip, but having that extra clip, made it even better! 
I have worn it around the house to do house work, worn it on 3 mile runs and walks, and even wore it through my 30 Day Shred DVD through jumping jacks! lol The Super Happy Band did not slip at all! 
It was super comfortable as well! I have bought headbands that have been too tight before and given me headaches. My SUPER Happy Band did not! It was wonderful even for running errands! 
And I just love how cute it is!!! 
You can purchase your very own cute, no slip SUPER Happy Band by going to their website: www.Running-Happy.com! 
They also give you an option to place custom orders! Just contact them, and they can help you out!
They even sell these cute little cupcake decals!!! That is just so cute! 

I was given this headband for review as a #SweatPink Ambassador, but all opinions are my own! :)
