Color Me Rad recap

Last week we ran a 5K - Color Me Rad. It was mostly awesome except that I nearly choked to death on the color powder and also had a chunk of it in my eye for the better part of the day. Regardless, we had a blast and would run it again in a heartbeat.

Coming up: Guns & Hoses, Top of Zion??, and the Bryce Canyon Rim Run -- what other races should we sign up for?

I love Target. I love it so much.

Check this out. You know how I love Target.

A lovely PDF list of 10 must-take pictures for each month - print it!

Here is a wonderful talk from Richard G Scott about obtaining revelation and inspiration for your personal life.

Check out Print Wolf - they have some awesome prints, and they're one of the Hen Movie Club's sponsors!

I want everything, especially the scarf.
