The time to hesitate is through....

......because my very first 5K is this Sunday!

I'm really excited, because I've been training for about 9 weeks now.

Check out my post at Fox Valley Mom to read more about my journey: Could I be a.... runner?

I wasn't big on running in the first place, but it was one of my goals that I set for the year.

What are some of your recent goals? How close are you to achieving them?

Also, feel free to check out my book giveaway - Spilt Milk.

Good luck on your 5K! I had my 4th baby last December and set a goal to run my first 5K this year as well. I trained for 11 weeks (only ever on my treadmill) and ran my 5K last weekend. It was SO much fun and easier than I expected. I can't wait to sign up for my next one so that I can continue with the accountability and further solidify a joy in running.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it. After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke. He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before. He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities. Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives. Despite ...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls. I love them! My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind. No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field. It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place. As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin: Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places: And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...
