I'm sorry but this is just funny! I just read an article about a mom who just won a lawsuit against the people that make Nutella. She didn't realize it wasn't a healthy choice for her four year old daughter! Is this a joke? Can I sue the company that makes snickers because they aren't healthy for me! She is getting $3 million dollars because she didn't READ THE LABELS on a product! What judge awarded this woman $3 million!? Now let me just say that the commercial is a little misleading, it does make it look healthy but come on! Coke makes their products look good too and we all know that isn't good for ya! Give me a break!

I honestly can't believe it's been a year since our sweet little girl was born. It really did fly by this time! She is up to A LOT and has developed her own little personality and her own little attitude! SLEEP: She is a good sleeper, I won't say great because for about 2 weeks she went through a phase of waking up at 5 wanting to eat! I gave in and then she finally settled back into her old routine, most days look like this.... 7:00am: wake up 9:00ish: lay down for nap- sleeps about an hour 1:30/2:00: lay down for nap- sleeps about an 1.5-2 hours 7:15pm: lay down for bed She still depends on a bottle before naps and bed, but doesn't have to be rocked, she normally goes to sleep on her own, which I love! She still loves her pink bunny blanket to sleep with. CHOW TIME: We have a picky little girl on our hands and I do mean picky. She has a few favorites... bread/pancakes/waffles/sweets (loves ice cream!!)/blueberries/yogurt/raspberries/strawberries/avocado/...

My very first half marathon! DONE! Let me just say that 13 miles is long and 13.1 miles is even LONGER!!! Yes, it's the .1 that will get ya. I can't say that this race was hard, it wasn't easy but I honestly didn't feel like I was going to die and the thought of giving up didn't enter my mind like it did on the long run we did at home. I kept pushing and when I finally crossed that finish line, I cried! Saturday night we headed in early, ordered Carmins pasta and rested for the big day. All day Saturday I pushed water, I just drank and drank any water I could get my hands on. I also did indulge in some breads and other yummy carbs! I laid out my race day outfit, pinned my bib on my shirt, put the timer thing on my shoe, made sure my watch was out and my ipod was charged. I was in bed early and actually able to sleep. I woke up at 6m a little nervous but jumped in the shower to wake myself up, got dressed, made myself a PB&J sandwich and drank my energy drink. On...

The very last training day before my very first half!!! Tuesday, April 10th, it was torture!! I felt like I wasn't going to make it and I was going to be in big trouble! Somehow I did though! I even ran out the last .5 mile! DISTANCE: 1.98 (the signs said I went 2 miles but watch didn't say that!) TIME: 28 minutes and 40 seconds
