Welcome to the third day of my Flashback Friday Kickoff Week! Ahh…this was a wonderful memory! Running for chocolate! My niece and I participated in a 5K Chocolate run that was held in Chicago.

Flashback Friday: August 9, 2012
Since the sun is currently shining upon the Midwest, I thought I would celebrate by posting a colorful entry on my site. I know this journal page may appear boring, but this entry proves that you can fill your journal with whatever you want. If you are stuck for ideas, why not catalog some of…
Flashback Friday: June 2011
In recognition of Valentine’s Day I decided that I would post a journal entry on a subject near and dear to my heart- my husband and my life-partner Chris.

Flashback Friday: April, 16 2007
I decided today to go way back to April 2007 when I when I frequently watched an anime program called “Eureka 7” that was featured on Cartoon Network at that time. I often find that when an anime program is so beautifully illustrated, I am at times inspired to sketch a character from a…

Okay folks, it’s cold snowy and just plain dreary out there! I thought I would perk myself up by posting a journal entry from over the summer of 2012. I remember I was pretty hell bent on keeping up with my husband as he trained for his first sprint triathlon. I was not in awesome…

Flashback Friday: August 13th 2012
This was a whimsical entry that I drew in August last year. At the time, I recently discovered a new passion for loose-leaf tea after visiting a local tea shop. From the moment I entered the shop and tasted properly brewed tea, I was hooked! No more tea bags for me! Today, I have various…
