It's definitely helped me be mindful of my pace and it's cool to look back at runs I've done while on vacation-or even just find new places around home when I get in a rut. Definitely not as convenient as a garmin but a good stop-gap if you don't mind running with your phone! I know they work for iPhone but am not sure about other phones...Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-59317779144548828812013-12-10T09:27:25.988-05:002013-12-10T09:27:25.988-05:00Of course!Of course!Bethhttp://sanssouciblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-57428627206114447502013-12-10T09:25:35.772-05:002013-12-10T09:25:35.772-05:00that being said, you sometimes doooooo see somethi...that being said, you sometimes doooooo see something silly and fluffy that you decide you must have!Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-39629092439438993452013-12-10T09:25:03.296-05:002013-12-10T09:25:03.296-05:00that company - Jax and Bones - uses really pretty ...that company - Jax and Bones - uses really pretty patterns!

Paul and i have laminated maps (one of the entire US, one of Europe, one of Scotland, and one of England & Wales) and we just use markers on them, but for our US one we each have our own color and then we have a color together. The places we've both been but not together are kind of fun to see. He has been a couple more places in Europe than me, but he hasn't marked those on our Europe map. <br /><br /><br />Also, YES to the candles. I get headaches from a lot of scented candles plus I'm quite picky about what smells I want blended with the other smells in our house… it's why I can't with Febreze- I'd rather no specific smell than dog+vanilla bean. But I am also really picky about what kind of candles are burnt in our house, since paraffin and soy both have health risks that affect pets as well or even more than humans, since they spend more time in the house (at least mine do). So I will only use natural beeswax now, and luckily, it's a natural odor-neutralizer. So I have a couple of limited-burn ones (you raise the candle so high for however long you want it to burn and it puts itself out… good because I forget about candles) that I light when things smell a little… smelly. <br /><br /><br />Also I am now eagerly anticipating the "CHARLIE ATE THE BUTTER" tweet someday… ;)Gescinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-2425084324334251232013-12-09T14:43:57.319-05:002013-12-09T14:43:57.319-05:00Beau found a gigantic world map in the trash pile ...Beau found a gigantic world map in the trash pile at his office.
