As I mentioned last week, ALIVE Magazine teamed up with Mosby Building Arts to present STL Living: A Modern Home Tour & Tasting and I had the privilege of being a co-hostess at one of the homes. Last Saturday, October 24th, the attendees journeyed through the St. Louis area and viewed five of the city’s most beautiful and unique living spaces.
We had our home built almost four years ago, which really isn’t that long ago. Home improvement should be the last thing on my mind, right? Well, that’s just not the case. There is just something about remodeling that really sparks my interest. I am always on the lookout for inspiration and ideas to finish the basement or remodel the kitchen (and/or every other room in my house). That is one reason I am excited to be co-hosting this amazing event on Saturday!
Today I am sharing some great information about Operation Food Search and their efforts to help heal the hurt of hunger in the St. Louis metro area. Thank you to SocialMoms and SUBWAY® Restaurants for sponsoring this important message to help our local community.
Raising kids that give back to their community is becoming more and more important to me each year. I can tell it is starting to get instilled into their minds by acts of kindness they are initiating on their own. Last week my husband came home from grocery shopping with my four-year-old (which doesn’t happen often). He was impressed that Chase noticed and insisted on purchasing the prepackaged bags available to purchase for donation. Proud mom moment for me.
Earlier this month I was invited to Grant’s Farm for their Friday Family Flicks event. Upon learning about the event, I knew we had to check it out. Grant’s Farm is one of my favorite places to take the family each year. It’s not too far from home, budget-friendly and offers numerous activities for the kids.
As usual, things are pretty hectic around here and I realized I never shared my recap from That 80’s Run last month. The event hosted by St. Charles Community College was the first 5k race I had on my schedule this year, so I was pretty pumped leading up to it.
I am being provided with a race entry, however I already signed up for this race and all opinions are my own. #HairbandsAndHeadbands
As my running buddy and I started the year, we had a goal of running a dozen 5K races in 2015, approximately one a month. With the cold weather and busy schedules, we have yet to start that goal. However, we have already registered for 5, with more on our radar as we work them in this spring & summer.
Today I am talking about body, mind, and spirit in St. Louis as part of a collaboration with ALIVE Magazine. All opinions are my own. #BodyAndMindSTL
Leading a healthy lifestyle has increasingly became more and more important to me over the last year. After having three kids in less than three years, it took over 2 years for me to convince myself I have take time to focus on myself, not just the kids.
