About Me
- Paula
- Almost 30 years old, married to an amazing man since 2008, in love with all things food and cooking, momma to Winston the Westie, RN by day, fitness enthusiast (at times), procrastinator, Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma are my two favorite stores, obsessed with my iPhone.... Welcome to my crazy little world. I am a slightly pudgy person with a few pounds to lose and a new, healthy lifestyle to find. I will document my journey here. Also, I feel a Half Marathon in my near future (at least, this is the goal - I just got nauseous typing this...) FYI - these permanent pictures on the blog - they were a few years ago. Trust me, the pudge I speak of is real. :)
