Wheeler’s Mermaid – LOVE finding doodles like this all over the house.
I hope y’all are having a great start to your week! Thank you so much to everyone who emailed after last week’s post, requesting more How I Do It post suggestions! One reader asked if I could provide more details into why I started blogging and what some of my favorite local shops were in town. This article was written back in October so it’s a little dated, but here’s an interview I did with Carolina Style Magazine after receiving an award for one of the Carolinas’ best style bloggers of 2013.

Late last May I picked up running almost everyday. I would run about three miles, sometimes more, but usually three. Many of you know that I kept up with this until October or so. I kept you up-to-date each week posting my weekly running stats. Then it got cold, and I kind of tweaked my knee so I had to take two weeks off. It became harder to wake up and run in the cold, so I stopped running as much. I picked up pilates/barre and some indoor cycling too. Running wasn’t nearly as consistent as I wished it would have stayed. Well I’m back to running again, and it’s amazing to see how much slower I am, compared to last year at this time. This time last year I can’t believe I ran three miles in 27:20.

Sometimes the sizes listed for each kids’ item can be a little tricky. It may appear that only an XS is available on some pieces. This is because you may have the “Toddler” size clicked on the right side. If you look under Toddler, you’ll see Little Boy/Girl. Click on it, and more sizes will then show up.
Here’s an example…
Great picks! For the Patagonia, how is the sizing? What temperatures do you think it's appropriate for?
The sizing is pretty true to size. If anything, I'd go up a size. That's what I did with all of mine. That way they can all wear them for a little longer and if they have a sweater underneath, they can still fit into it. The winters can get down to the 20s here. In those temps sometimes I may have them wear a sweater under the jacket, but they're still able to stay very warm in the jacket alone. I have one too and can wear a t-shirt under it and still feel super warm even when it's in the 30s outside. You'd be very surprised at how lightweight they are, for how insulating they can be!
Great picks! I love this sale for stocking up for the kiddos. Think I need to get the Patagonia coats!
Do you still count your calories daily on my fitness pal?
I stopped this past November, thinking I could stay on maintenance. Didn't happen. I've been trying to record them since January, but not consistently. This week is the very first week I'm determined to stick with it and be better about recording. I need to lose ten pounds I gained over the winter. I still think MFP is the best and easiest app for recording it.
