via Last week was full of nerves and eating my feelings. Luckily, Bijoux got to come home Friday and is looking almost like her old self which means I can breathe again. This week I am back on track with some serious catching up to do. Starting the morning off trying a couple of new things: oil pulling chia seeds in my parfait...

This has been quite the week. I know I wrote before, here, about how my dog Theodore is sick. Well this week it was my other dog, Bijoux's, turn. My crazy normal dog is one that is full of energy, super jumpy, runs everywhere, and eats everything. However, Monday night she didn't want any food and would hardly move. Very uncharacteristic. By Tuesday I had...

Fort Worth has been having some pretty glorious weather lately. For those of us that live here or have lived in Texas know that when the temperature is anywhere from high 60’s to mid-80’s you get outside and take full advantage. And that is exactly what Alex and I have been doing. One Sunday we rode along the Trinity River and used the...

Change isn't easy. Sometimes I welcome it with open arms because it has to be better than what is present and other times I resent it. Right now I am in the middle. I started off excited about this challenge and decided I would run at least a mile everyday. Then after three days of running my calves started to tell me to...

via Last night, I wrote a blog post while watching a movie at my house. The intention was to relax and be productive at the same time. When I went back this morning to reread it before posting I was in for a surprise. There were several sentences that didn't make a lick of sense. I am not even sure how several words...

via                                                                   via I am going to be honest, I can wait for summer. Don't get me wrong I would be completely fine with summer if I was let's say in the French Riviera or Cinque Terre but I am not. I am in Texas and summers here are brutal. Fall on the other hand is my favorite season. I love the changing of...

Lately, I have been feeling out of shape.  It comes in waves. Some weeks I feel skinner, more muscular, confident. Then another week I feel flabby, chubby, and self conscious. I know I am not alone in these feelings but right now I am annoyed with myself and my feelings. I am active four plus days a week but there are times, many...

This past Saturday, March 8, I became an aunt. My brother and his girlfriend had a beautiful baby girl named Elliott. This is a first in my family, as my little brother put it "this is weird". Can't get enough of her little face and hands. It is going to be an adjustment one that will involve a little younger Gallagher at all...

This weekend I am laying low, sort of. Besides the draft that Alex and I will be participating in for Fort Worth Spring League Ultimate, I might become an aunt! The due date was the 6th but like any Gallagher, we do things on our own time. Then again most babies due. Get it? Nudge, nudge (insert a face of shame and embarrassment)....

Today is Ash Wednesday and the second year in a row I have made it to church to get my ashes. That is an accomplishment and one I am proud of. The typical custom during lent is to give something up. These past couple years I have combined the act of giving something up with adding something of value to my everyday routine....
