November 2015: Monthly Review
I’m going to start publishing a monthly recap at the end of each month detailing my habits, projects, and tinkerings. Inspired by my coworker Jeremey (I’m mimicking his format). It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted last, I guess I got a bit lazy after my consecutive streak ended. It’s time to start the streak again. November…

Bombers Crossfit
A few weeks ago, after I returned home from the Financial Bloggers conference, I was interested in finding a crossfit box close to my house. I’m happy to say that I found Bombers Crossfit which is less than 10 minutes from my house. I’ve always been a big fan of working out in my basement and…

Eighteen month old twin
Kenley had her 18 month wellness visit today and she passed all the 18 month milestones (when she was 15 months) and she passed 9 out of 10 of the two year milestones today. The only one that she missed was “does she have the ability to dress and undress herself?”

Getting Things Done
I’m currently reading the revised edition of Getting Things Done by David Allen. This will be my third time reading the book, with the first two reads being the older version where he referenced palm pilots multiple times 🙂 One of the big takeaways I see I need to improve on is making each task…

Home from Charlotte
I had a blast at the Financial Blogger’s Conference in Charlotte this weekend. It was awesome to see a few of my “online” friends and make new friends. Even though I enjoy traveling, I was excited to get home to my cute, pigtailed little girl.

First Crossfit Workout
I’ve always wanted to try a Crossfit workout, but there hasn’t been a workout box (fancy crossfit term for gym) close to my house. The Reebok Crossfit of Uptown Charlotte is right across the street from my hotel, so I decided to check it out this morning. They were super accommodating and modified the workout…

Downtown Disney
Since our daughter is only 18 months old. We didn’t think it would be worth it to go to Disney World this year; especially since it’s still so hot here (in the 90’s). Instead, we opted for Downtown Disney which is free and only a 10 minute drive from our resort. We walked around a…
