Fall Running Season

Leave a Comment / Health and Wellness / Megan Nelson

It’s officially fall and that means we’ve officially entered the best time of year for running! Don’t get me wrong, summer is nice and all, but when it’s 80+ degrees out with 1,000% humidity, running outside is pretty miserable. You can only take so many layers off without it getting weird – AND you’re still […]

Cheers to 32!

Leave a Comment / Milestones and Special Occasions / Megan Nelson

My birthday is coming up on the 22nd – yay! I still love my birthday. I guess I haven’t quite hit the age yet where I don’t love it anymore lol. This week I was thinking about the post I wrote for my 29th birthday about my 30 things I’d like to do before I

Goodbye, Grandma

4 Comments / Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

This week, we said goodbye to my Grandma Reiffenberger – or Grandma in the Blue House, as we used to call her when we were little. We knew this day was coming, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I’m not sure you can ever truly prepare yourself to lose a loved one. She was

My Person

Leave a Comment / Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

Each week when I don’t have a good idea of what I’m going to blog about, I tell Dan I’m just going to write about how good looking he is. And every time he rolls his eyes at me and goes, “please don’t.” WELL, I’m not going to write about how good looking he is,

Ready for Fall!

Leave a Comment / Miscellaneous / Megan Nelson

School is back in session and believe it or not, but next week is September already. And you know what that means: it’s almost the best time of the year! I’ve often told myself that September 1 – December 31 is my favorite time of the year. Not only is September my birthday month, but

Wisconsin Getaway

1 Comment / Milestones and Special Occasions / Megan Nelson

Dan and I finally got to get out town for a few days! We didn’t really make any vacation plans this year, so it was a bit of a last-minute trip, but it was so nice to get away and explore a new place. When I told Dan we should take a long weekend and

In My Auntie Era

Leave a Comment / Milestones and Special Occasions / Megan Nelson

Last week, my parents had the grandkids for four days. For almost a week leading up to it, my oldest nephew, Connor, was asking if he could have a sleepover at our house. This isn’t the first time he’s asked to stay over, so we finally said he could plan on staying over one night

Pupdate – Aging Like Fine Wine

Leave a Comment / Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

I haven’t talked about my boy, Dobby, in a while. He’s still here and doing well! Although, it’s become pretty clear lately that my little boy is turning into an old man. And despite the fact that I’ve told him many times he’s not allowed to get old, he insists on doing it anyway. He’s

What Motivates Me to Blog

1 Comment / Becoming an Author, Relatable Experiences / Megan Nelson

It was another busy, busy week, and I didn’t have a lot of time to think about what I wanted to write about. I was pretty close to saying “screw it, I’ll take another week off,” but I really didn’t want to do that. While I was brainstorming ideas, I sometimes google blog topic ideas
