Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Lansing: The Food

I posted about my awesome time in Lansing, like, a long time ago. Somehow I forgot about writing about the foodΒΏ? I'm so sorry because it was AMAZING. Every single meal. I went on the trip knowing that I'd be eating out a lot and not eating my usual amounts of fruits and veggies and that was 100% … [Read more...] about Lansing: The Food

How to Make Maple Syrup

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you're all having a low-key, relaxing day. I'm finding myself with some time to catch up on writing so I'm going to try and get some posts written that have fallen off the radar! Back in March I was able to visit my friend's camp during maple syrup season. Until I … [Read more...] about How to Make Maple Syrup

Regionals

Hi everyone! It's Friiiday and there's only like two more weeks of school β™₯ Quick post but I just wanted to talk about my track meet yesterday! It was regionals, so I needed to get in the top four for each race to make it to finals. I had a quick speed workout on Monday (2 … [Read more...] about Regionals

Mother’s Day Brunch

I haven't had a chance to post about Mother's Day yet (still catching up on sleep from Prom;)! Like usual, we got together for brunch and it was a fabulous meal. Spinach and mushroom quiche, cheesy potatoes, pecan rolls, melon, sausage, and doughnuts were on the menu! It wasn't quite as … [Read more...] about Mother’s Day Brunch

Prom 2015

Living Life

I used to live to blog. Every single thing I did was so I could write a post about it. I guess that was somewhat okay because I was battling depression and it gave me something to value and look forward to. It's like I felt that something only mattered if there was proof it … [Read more...] about Living Life

100 Pounds!

I can't decide if I like to be this busy or not. Saturday I went from a run to lifting to seeing family to work and being home for approximately an hour. I know that I am so lucky to be able to do all of these things so I'm not going to complain that I don't have time to sit at home and do … [Read more...] about 100 Pounds!

Black Bean Lentil Soup | @theyoopergirl

Black Bean Lentil Soup

Based on last week's weather, you wouldn't know it's almost the end of April - low 30's, snow, and hail. Naturally, I was craving a big bowl of soup, so I whipped up this hearty black bean lentil soup! Mom made the rest and we had quite the comforting dinner. I'll get to the soup in a second but … [Read more...] about Black Bean Lentil Soup

More Than a Number

Yesterday at school we had the preliminaries for sports physicals which is basically just the nurses getting your pulse, blood pressure, height, and weight. I haven't looked at my weight for at least a year now, simply because it's not a big deal to me anymore. Back when I was … [Read more...] about More Than a Number

Oatmeal Freekeh Breakfast Bake

Spring cleaning Go through your pantry, cupboards, freezer, or fridge; what β€˜treasures’ have you found? Pick an … [Read more...] about Oatmeal Freekeh Breakfast Bake

Running 4/13

I hope everyone's been having a great weekend! Yesterday was crazy busy (ACT, run, lift, work) but today was just the opposite and wonderfully relaxing. Some pancakes, playing piano at church, grocery shopping, baking, and dinner at Grandma's. Here are my runs from last week! It was a pretty … [Read more...] about Running 4/13

Dome Meet

Hello everyone! I had my first track meet yesterday so I'm just popping in to share some pictures and times! I'll have them listed in my workouts post as well but I have some more things that I want to share too. Before the bus left I stopped home for lunch:Sprouted bread, homemade pesto, vegan … [Read more...] about Dome Meet
