Kit-ty paws!
I think we have a prowler!
I used to pride myself for being on time, but I am running SO late, as usual! It’s this blogging thing. And that exercise thing.
I set my alarm for 6:26 this morning.
After 20 minutes of snoozing. 20 minutes of emailing. And 20 minutes debating if sore abs were a good reason not to run, I finally got out of bed.
I do not like rising before the sun! And then there’s that little problem called freezing weather.
But Matt and I finally decided to just do a quick 3-4 miles. We used ye ole motivator: “I’ll just do 20 minutes” and ended up having a pretty great run! Lots of hills, lots of snow dodging.
And now I’m enjoying some overnight oats!
Overnight oats in a jar are the BEST!!
The Mix
- Near-empty jar of sunflower butter
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/3 cup Oikos plain
- 1/3 cup milk
- Pinch salt
- Half banana
- Sprinkle cinnamon
- Rosie’s Best granola in the AM
Gotta get my joe!
ONE NIGHT. I packed as lightly as I could!! My LiveWell Core bag is stuffed and my carry-into-the-car bag is full of laptop, camera, snacks, lunch, purse, coats, gloves. I’m worse than a new mom!
Can’t wait to see my grandmother!! Wish me luck on the 3-hour solo journey…I’m nervous.

Those paw prints are so cool! I love those pictures!
Have a great trip!
I am just as bad packing for one night — ESPECIALLY if I am taking my car. Taking my car seems to give me permission to pack more than I can carry. After all, I can just throw it in the back seat!
I am loving all the new mugs!
Travel safe and have a great visit!
Have a good trip!!

Awww! We always have paw prints in our snow. It’s adorable. What’s even cuter is seeing our calico cat when there’s a solid amount of snow on the ground…only her black and orange patches stick out! Safe travels to your grandmother’s!
hope you have good sing-a-long music! Now is your oppurtunity to belt out all the songs you know the lyrics to!
Awww love the paw prints.
Don’t forget to wave hello as you drive by DC
Have a great trip!
Whoa– that is one brave cat!!
Have a great trip! Safe driving!
“I’m worse than a new mom!” Best traveling quote ever!
I know how you feel.
Have fun with your grandmother! Rock out to some fun music like Aubrey said above and the drive will be over before you know it.
Have a safe trip. What a nice thing to visit your grandmother. Have fun!
Haha you are like me! I can’t “travel light.” As a woman, I need options right?
But if you wake up before sunrise, you can actually SEE the sun rise, and it’s always spectacular!
Have a safe trip!
Have a safe trip
Kitty prints – SO cute!
Ha, just wait until you actually are a new mother…it’ll be more that 2x that.
Have fun, be safe! XO
Agreed! At LEAST 2X as much…even if you are nursing and don’t have to pack bottles!
hope you have a safe trip! 3 hours is nothing…you got this
Have a safe trip!
6:26? So random! Although I can’t judge because I always set the microwave cooking times for something at ends in “4.”
Cute kitty paws! I have that same Longchamp bag, love it.
Oh, how you make me want overnight oats
I 100% understand why so many “real runners” hate treadmills, but I gotta say, if I didn’t have access to one, winter exercise for me would consist of rolling out the dough for Christmas cookies
Maybe I should invest in one of those scary ski-masks robbers always use in the movies?!? Nah, the treadmill is fine for now…
Good luck on your trip!
I concur about the OOIAJ… the best! Have a safe drive!!
Awe, gotta love Grandma’s! Mine is still so funny, hasn’t lost her sense of humor eventhough she’s in a nursing home.
Have a safe and fun trip!
Sunbutter overnight oats make me so sad. I always miss that nut butter the most.
What an amazing packer – I am an overpacker through and through. Especially when driving!
Safe travels – at least the ride isn’t too long!
Travel safe, Kath! Enjoy your visit!
Tj’s Sunflower seed butter is my fave nut butter in the entire world. Even more so than really expensive ones…I dig it!
Packing more than a new mom? That’s impossible
Running late? Couldnt be worse than a new mom’s lateness
I wouldnt consider myself a “new” mom, mine is almost 4 yrs old, but I still overpack and I run later now than ever….whoops!
You have a little kittie that seems to like your house. Maybe you need a pet.
aw cute paw prints!
Have a safe trip!
You should get a TRX! I love having it around the house on days when I am in a hurry but want to get a quick good workout in without having to pull out a million dumbells or having to try to squeeze the gym in in a hurry!
You’ll do great! I think as women, it’s a given that we overpack, and there’s nothing wrong with that
Have a safe trip!
Have a safe and wonderful journey. Send my “Hi” to grandma and Happy Holidays!
I love that 20 min rule! It usually works for me too.
Safe travels today Kath!
haha, blogging can really suck you in! have a great trip!
Have a blasty in bmoreeee!
Awe!!! I love the kitty prints! So cute!!
Good luck! Safe travels!
You’ll be fine!
That table is GORGEOUS!
Have a safe trip!
Oats in a jar are like Christmas! I just prepped the ultimate OIAJ – they are in a NUTELLA jar. I’m so excited to eat them that they may end up as dessert tonight.
I hate packing for just one night – in fact, when we go visit my inlaws 2.5 hours away, I prefer to drive there and back the same day rather than pack to stay overnight!
Safe travels to you!
You can do it KATH, drive safe!
love the paw prints!…probably not good for you though….have a great mini trip!
Safe travels!!!
Good for you for getting out for your run even when you weren’t in the mood! That’s funny that your “trick” is to say you’ll ONLY do 20 minutes… That’s a full workout where I come from.
My trick is to say to myself, I’m too tired to remember any of this anyway, so I might as well run!
Have a great trip. Those paws on the roof are hilarious!
Have fun on your one day getaway!
Love, love, love the kitty tracks!
Gosh, for some reason those paw prints remind me of the scary panther in the Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls! I think a kitty is a nicer animal to imagine…
Here Kitty Kitty Kitty!
You need a pair of Valslides for when it’s too cold to go outside. You could do your whole workout in your living room. Strength and cardio. It’s fun too! Plus, they fit in your Core Bag!
Safe travels!
