Special Birthday Shout Out(S)
I am so fortunate to have such an amazing family! I am even more fortunate that a lot of my family was born within the same month!
I always love that I will never forget my mother's birthday. She used to be the one that started off the birthday month, but no longer holds this position as Laura has now taken over this spot! :) She was born on a year ending in "0" so I NEVER forget how old she is. ( I suppose this could be a good and/or bad thing. ;)) Tomorrow, February 9, is my mother's birthday! Happy Birthday Mother! I sure hope your day will be as special as you are to me! I love you very much and thank you for being such a beautiful example of the person I hope to be.
Of course, I can't forget my dad's birthday either, because he was born two days later (in a different year). Happy Birthday Dad! May this year bring all the success and fulfillment that your heart desires! Wishing you many more miles and smiles in the coming years! Thanks for being my running buddy. I love you very much!
First, a belated birthday shout-out to my sister-in-law, Laura, on February 1st. HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS! Hope you had an amazing day filled with love and wishing you a wonderful new year to come!

FEBRUARY PHOTO A DAY CHALLENGE!
I have been definitely slacking on the blog-side of life. For that I apologize. Here is a challenge to you all!! I started it about 2 weeks ago (jumped on the wagon at the end of January.) I am on day 8 for February and loving it! It has truly helped me with my photography... I don't just snap pictures anymore. I am starting to really put thought in the angle, lighting, filters, etc. Anyway, jump on this wagon if you are interested. It is something fun to do & a lot more fun to follow others and see their take on the same idea! GET CREATIVE!
How to take part in February photo-a-day:
1. Using the list as inspiration, take a photo each day.
2. Share it on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #FEBphotoaday. You can also share on your blog or on Facebook ... or even keep the photos privately for yourself.
3. Check out other people's photos and like them or comment on them.
Note: The list is purely for inspiration, however you interpret the daily prompt is up to you. There are no hard and fast rules. For instance for day 22, if you don't officially 'work' and are a mum or looking for work - then show something that you consider to be work (or a chore perhaps). It doesn't have to be office stuff ... it's as loose as you want or need it to be. Just have fun and enjoy!
I'm EXCITED!!

"SPEEOPLING"
This evening Andrew and I dubbed a new term:"Speeopling". Have you ever been out for a run and seen a person on the side of the street and without realizing it you unconsciously speed up? Andrew and I do it all the time! We are constantly reminding each to slow down when we pass other people. So, we decided to give it a term, we call it "Speeopling".
It can be used in such forms as:
"Andrew, you're speeopling again." "Oh no, I just speeopled." "Try not to speeople this time." and my all-time favorite, "ANDREW, you SPEEOPLER!"
I think it will catch on...
