W is for…It’s not WHAT we do, it’s WHY we’re doing it.

February 23, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Good morning everyone! I hope you are having an awesome weekend. So, I’m not going to lie, I originally had the coolest recipe & picture to share today for “W”. I’ve learned in life that not everything goes as planned, right? So, earlier this week I was deleting pictures from my iPhone to make room for the epic amounts I would be taking while I’m here in Boston! I tend to be a bit of a picture hoarder on my iPhone – for some reason I get nervous to delete some pictures EVEN THOUGH I already posted them to Instagram & on my blog! As I was deleting pictures, I accidently … [Read more...]

Life changing 2012.

December 31, 2012 By Kasey 15 Comments

I am saying goodbye to 2012 & thriving forward into 2013! But, before I do this, I wanted to recap on how 2012 truly changed my life. I could probably insert every single picture I’ve taken over the last year into this post; but I wouldn’t want to take up too much of your time So, I’ll stick with some high lights! I had an amazing student teaching experience. I was very lucky to have awesome co-op teachers as well as students that I will never forget. I believe that I truly made an impact on them in a positive way. One Direction Zumba Saying “see you later” to … [Read more...]

Thrive Forward into the New Year!

December 29, 2012 By Kasey 18 Comments

Happy Saturday all! I have to admit, I’m still trying to get back into a routine after my 7 day Holiday weekend. There is one thing I probably would change if I could go back in time and that would be working out. I know I know, I’m POWERCAKES – how can I regret working out!? Well, when I smacked straight into a brick wall yesterday (not literally-but sure felt like it) I asked myself, why did I push myself with workouts while I had so many other things going on in my life during those 7 days? In all honesty, I believe in working out & the wonderful things it can do for our … [Read more...]

December 5, 2012 By Kasey 15 Comments

I just want to start off by saying that the entries I’ve received were overwhelming – in a GOOD way! I appreciate every single entry and the honesty, time, & focus that it took to send me your #beTRUEtoYOU story. You are all amazing & I honestly can’t say that enough. When it comes to the winner – YOU ARE ALL WINNERS in my book. But unfortunately, I’m not Oprah & can’t hand out 1,000 of my favorite things. One day I hope to be able to do that though. Honestly, there are NO LOSERS when you are being TRUE TO YOURSELF! With that being said, this is the … [Read more...]

Weekend Feature- Jimmy’s Journey.

November 30, 2012 By Kasey 4 Comments

Hi all! Don't forget that you have until Monday night to enter the BE TRUE TO YOU CHALLENGE! This weekend I wanted to feature my friend Jimmy. We’ve basically known each other since we were in diapers. Our moms are best friends, therefore growing up I spent a decent amount of time playing hide-n-go-seek with Jimmy. Or, as he may recall, me spending a lot of time in time out because I tried getting him into trouble! What can I say? back then, boys had cooties! I have to say it is pretty awesome that we’ve continued our friendship into our 20’s! We both work at a sports camp … [Read more...]
