Happy 2014, friends! I hope your new year is off to a very happy start! Every year, instead of giving myself a list of resolutions I most likely won’t keep, I choose one focus word. My word for 2011 was Happiness (hence starting my Happiness Reports), 2012 I chose Connect (which launched my Connect through…

Giving Thanks for the Everyday Things
Thanks to Hallmark for sponsoring this post. As many of you know, I completed my first half marathon a few weeks ago. I had so much anxiety leading up to it, but after crossing the finish line I had such an overwhelming feeling of thanks and gratitude. The race I ran was the Kansas…
5 Simple Ways to Amp Up Your Happy
Happiness. I talk a lot about happiness here on Dine & Dish. It’s one of those things that I think we all try to attain, but then when it’s still and quiet we wonder “am I truly happy?” I am happy! I have a wonderful husband, a great family, a wonderful job with supportive readers…
Stop Giving It All or Nothing
Alternate titles for this post: “How Training For a Half Marathon Has Made Me Dislike Running” “What the hell is wrong with me and why can’t I stick to anything?” “Tales of a non-perfectionist, perfectionist” You get the point. Running and I are not being friends right now. “Well, how can that be?” you ask….

Friends, Let’s Get Carded with Hallmark
Today, I want to tell you about a few of my friends. You see, I have some pretty incredible people in my life… people I probably don’t express my appreciation for nearly enough. Friends who, when I questioned true friendship, proved to me in many ways I just wasn’t looking hard enough. So, today,…
