Ragnar Relay SoCal Recap II: Dogs and Darkness and Vests, Oh My!

Picking up where I left off with my Ragnar Relay Recap (if you’re just tuning in, you can see a quick photo montage here and a recap of my first leg of the race here). After a quick lunch at Chili’s where I could barely choke down some otherwise wicked potato skins (no reflection onContinue Reading

Ragnar Relay SoCal Recap: Losing my Ragnar Virginity

Disclosure: Ragnar contacted me asking me to take part in this epic adventure as part of a blogger van. Though accommodations and most essentials were provided, I paid for my travel expenses and souveniers.

Now that the day is within reachContinue Reading

What would you do with a day to yourself?

This weekend is one of celebration. Not only is it the last weekend before Ragnar SoCal, but Hubby and I will be celebrating 6 years of marriage.
