I Just Felt Like Running
These bad boys right here were my favorite shoes. It was 2019, I think, that I got into running hardcore. My definition of hardcore was running 5 and 10k races monthly and training for a half-marathon that Covid ultimately cancelled. I was not an ultra-marathon runner or even tempted to train for a full marathon.… →

Hurry Up and Wait!
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. My husband will vehemently disagree with me but I think one of the best gifts I’ve received is patience. He will argue that I am the most impatient person. Well, yeah, when we’re at the grocery store and I’m ready to be done and go home… →

Spenders and Savers
Write about your approach to budgeting. When it comes to a budget, I follow Dave Ramsey’s debt snowball idea. I have two credit accounts that need paying off and I have a whole budget plan/timeline for doing that. But to put it simply, I approach my budget by making sure my bills are paid and… →

Memories of Patriotism
Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? As a life-long citizen of the United States, I feel patriotism for my country. However, the word ‘patriot’ has lately come to describe people who support a certain political party and leader over another. What is happening in our country with the new administration is… →

Everyday I’m Hustlin’
Yes, I have unintentionally broken the law. And I’m only admitting that publicly because I’m almost certain every law enforcement officer in my state knows that I have. In fact, I’m also almost certain that there’s some alarm or sensor that goes off every time I get into my car. It puts them on alert… →

I Believed
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? It’s kind of cheesy (that’s not the title!). I’ve seen this on lapel pins and stickers and other motivational trinkets but it really sums up my life. “She Believed She Could, So She Did”. Graduate from college and become a teacher even though… →

Blockbuster Swingers
Interesting question today! I’m 42, which means it was 1992 when my dad was my age and 1998 when my mom was. I don’t know much about my parents’ lives in the B.S. era (Before Sarah as my grandparents jokingly called it). But I do remember a picture of me smiling next to my dad… →

The Tax on Women
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? Are taxes laws? Because when I think about laws, there’s probably several that I would want to change. I just don’t know what they are right now. However, there’s a tax that I would change. Actually, I’d change all the… →

Home is Wherever We Are
Write about your dream home. Dream homes are a funny thing. What makes a home ideal is very subjective. I’ve lived in many places in my life. Ask a military family and they can probably lose count of how many places they have lived. Their dream home may simply be wherever it is they are… →

From Excitement to Silence
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? I tell people! I get so excited and immediately want everyone to know. When I saw this question, I immediately tried to think of the last time I got “great, amazingly fantastic” news. It’s been a really long time. What stands out… →
