Shoes / Capris / Tank Shoes / Leggings / Long Sleeve Workout Wednesday is BACK! After great feedback last October {find those posts here, here, here & here}, I have decided to restart Workout Wednesdays on A Midwestern Mix. Fitness is a huge part of my life and I...
Crane & Lion: Look 3
Between the time I took these photos on Sunday and today's post, about 95% of this snow has melted! I could not be more excited to finally see sidewalks exposed because that means my mornings are the treadmill are coming to an end. YAY! It won't be long until my...
Crane & Lion: Look 2

A Little Secret…
It's no surprise that I'm usually in #basicwhitegirl mode when it comes to putting on workout clothes. 90% of the time you will find me in head-to-toe ( from my headband to my socks) Lululemon. But I have a secret! Shhh, don't tell Lulu but I've been 'seeing other...
