These beautiful blossoms instantly made me think of my mom on my run this morning. We both love hydrangeas so I snapped a few photos to send her way and called her the minute I walked in the door. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! I wish we could be together today but our 20 minute chat put a [...]

I’ve never been a huge Valentine’s Day fan (call me cynical) but take away all of the commercial hype and this holiday can actually be quite nice. Take a few minutes to spread some love. Call your friends and family to tell them you love them more than bacon or pay a compliment to a [...]
