My name is Joanna. I like to read, write and create. Welcome to my blog!

I’m a twenty-something newlywed, Westie lover, soon-to-be mama, and teacher in progress. I love my husband, pup and school… I also love creating things of my own. Whether it’s in the kitchen or at the sewing machine, I love devising new projects to keep me busy. I’m new to the fitness world and enjoy both the physical and mental challenges of embarking on a new program. This blog is about continuing to learn and grow while striving for a greener, healthier, more well-rounded life.

About my VIP’s (Very Important Person and Puppy)

J is my amazing husband. He is an IT professional, Excel extraordinaire and the brains behind the technical side of this site :)

Ruby is our Westie pup who we adopted in September of 2012. She is my gal pal – we love taking walks together, playing fetch and snuggling in bed for as long as possible in the morning :)
