Warning!  I'm about to step up on a very large soapbox.  I'm not writing this post to offend you, but to awaken you.  To evoke something in you so convincing that it moves you into action.  I want you to feel like you must do something; to create a drive in you so compelling that you can no longer sit there on your proverbial couch....telling yourself that you'll start tomorrow.  You know you need to start today. To start now.  But there's always a reason why you can't.  Read more >

Let me preface by saying I love oatmeal, granola and/or any kind of peanut butter type bar.  One might say I'm addicted to them.  I eat them for a quick breakfast along side a banana or apple or simply enjoy one as a pre or post run snack.  There are also many good ones to choose from and I have my favorites that I've shared with you many times.  The problem is though is that most are rather expensive to keep in my pantry and especially have the luxury of having more than one a day, but they are also hard to find in my area so I run out pretty quickly.  Read more >

Food for the Week

If you're like me, working with a budget {most of the time} is a necessity. Grocery shopping has become so expensive, and I found that I was spending too much money on groceries then always seeming to have a hard time figuring out what to cook for dinner. A couple of ways I've already been working to save money on groceries is with coupon shopping and also grocery shopping on a budget.  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm an RN by trade (goin' on 22 years now).  I love Jesus and my family and I love to read and travel.  My family and I have seen 38 of the 50 states and we're not done yet!  My favorite sport is baseball, especially when my son is playing.  Two of the greatest things on Earth are the mountains and the oceans.  I'd love to be able to sit on the ocean shore (reading of course) while looking up at the mountains.  I love a good cup of coffee and chocolate-together.  I have the greatest husband in the world.  My Boo will always be my best girl.  A couple of my favorite things: Bobbi Brown make-up and Vera Bradley bags (I have several).  I'm addicted to photography; I can't not do it-I've tried.  I'm crazy organized (most of the time).  I'm an Aunt Mamie.  I don't mind being called Sam.  I'm a cancer survivor.

On my personal blog (http://www.themoreirun.com/) I include posts about nutrition, health and fitness, recipes, my love of running and exercise, coupon shopping and my family. I also offer product reviews and running tips to get you out running, too!

Samantha is also a boutique-style photographer (http://www.samanthaaldayphotography.com) commissioning a limited number of wedding and portrait events each year delivering the most in personal customer service, detail and the specific needs of each client. Her work has been featured in ALABAMA WEDDINGS Magazine, The Knot online Real Weddings and has been awarded by the Wedding Photojournalist Association.
