Yay for Running Outside!

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
No, that's not a picture of me... you all know I am short and that person has some long and skinny legs!   That is just a cute picture of  running attire to get you ready for spring and summer running!  Do you run?  Workout?  If you answered no, it's time to get up and start moving!   Really the biggest thing is taking out the two words- "I can't" and replacing them with "I CAN!"   Once you start you will be amazed at what you can achieve!  

 After this long winter I have been waiting for warmer weather to get back out on my morning runs!   I miss them so much!  Ok, I miss them but yes it is very challenging to be motivated to get out of bed at 5:00 am.    Not only do I miss the way I feel in the morning when I get a good workout in before work but I miss the quietness by the river with the beautiful sunrises.   :)  I would typically run a mile down to the river and then as the sunrise was happening I would do some body movements such as lunges, squats, push ups, planks, sprints, and so much more!  

 Last week was my first run outside of the season!   I realized that I am in some desperate need of some new yoga pants, new tennis shoes, and running tops, but don't let me forget new sports bra.  

 Since I am short but have bigger thighs I really enjoy the yoga capris mainly because the yoga pants tend to be too long for me which have created a danger as I have slipped on the bottom of my pants before, and the shorts make me feel insecure.   I know I am working on trimming up my big ole thighs so help me stay motivated!  

 This is the time of year when I also look for a new pair of running shoes.   Sadly, I don't live near the Eastbay outlet anymore so shoe shopping is less fun.   I always managed to get the best deals because I have small feet so many more choices to go through in the clearance racks.  

 I have found some cute workout apparel on Sweaty Betty .  I really like some of the tank tops.   It's nice to find some tops that are not skin tight so you feel more loose for different types of workouts such as running or weight lifting.  The site also is super helpful as it lists several ideas on what to wear for the type of activity you like.  

 If you like to run you should wear breathable and quick drying clothes, along with a good supportive bra and shoes that fit your feet.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
