I am loving Francesca’s.


It’s a great boutique, with affordable trendy pieces. I find it to be much better quality than Forever 21 or H&M. The typical blouse is about $38, while dresses run $44-$64. The last few pieces I’ve picked up from Francesca’s I’ve loved, and whenever I wear them I get lots of compliments – so I think it’s win win.



I am loving that tonight is book club! We are discussing all three books of The Hunger Games. If you haven’t read, I’ve been obsessed with them. I can’t wait to talk with everyone about what they thought, where they were surprised, what certain things meant, etc.


I am loving that I was able to use my last 2 cans of pumpkin to bake some pumpkin chocolate chip muffins to bring over to book club. I used this easy recipe here.



I am loving training for my half marathon. It’s really fun to put a big, fat X on my schedule after I’ve completed a workout. I literally think to myself on the treadmill, “just 5 more minutes, and you get to cross this off”. I was clearly a very well trained student.


I am loving that I joined the runner’s club here at work. It’s really motivating to run with a big group of co-workers, and it’s so nice to get outside of the office and run along the lake. Today’s high is like 18 degrees, but I think it will be fun to run in the cold with a big group of people. We are going to do 3 miles today, but since my schedule calls for 3.5 miles, I’m going to run a fast ½ mile on the treadmill when we get back.


I am loving that my parents are finally back from Mexico. I’ve missed talking to my mom after work.

I am loving the opportunities that have been presenting themselves to Joel and I lately.



I am loving Dentyne Pure. It’s gum and mouthwash mixed into 1. Doesn’t sound great, but it actually is. It’s like normal dentyne, but when you chew the first bite, you get a little squirt of mouth wash. ….. I’m not making this sound good…..but it really freshens your breath and does taste good…I promise.



I am loving that it’s Wednesday. We are almost there!

  1. Call me crazy but sometimes I find that every single thing at Francesca's is too short for me. Maybe I just have a weird phobia of showing my hoo-haa, but for real... it stresses me out.
