During the month of May, for "Out and About with Becky" we are 'On the Farm.' ... And it is a blast! Tonight we kick off the series in Franklin county at Bowmont Dairy Farm with Laird Bowman, a 6th generation

Who's ready for the humidity? Talk about a quick change out from winter to summer clothes! We've had a warm winter, and now it looks like are going right into summer. Maybe because winter already felt

Holy wow. ...Just saw the diamond Brad Pitt put on Angelina Jolie's finger. Apparently it's a half MILLION dollars?! It's amazing to me the money people have to spend.

Had picnic dinner for break tonight. Kinda nice ... something to break up the usual. Just grabbed some take-out, headed to the park to meet up with my two favorite dudes, and relaxed. I was a little worried

World's longest week is almost over! Not necessarily a bad week ... just. really. Long. I'm way happy this weekend will be nice - I plan to enjoy the weather, and get outside. I plan to start enjoying

I'm looking for ideas on the best way to save for my little guy's college. Any ideas? I just punched into a college savings calculator that my little dude is 2. It informed me I need to contribute $645

I had no idea how 45-50 degree weather could feel. After weeks of temperatures in the 70s and 80s, I think I have acclimated to the warmer climate. I spent the day working on a story outside in Franklin

I am pretty certain people lose all common sense, and driving skills, on a holiday. First of all, I forgot people had today off, so I thought I was 'oh so smart' heading to the grocery store today instead

Happy Reds Opening Day! Here's my deal with opening day in Cincinnati - it's a blast, the city practically closes down, the people line the downtown streets to watch the parade, it's aired live on television

The Reds' Opening Day is less than 24 hours away! Unfortunately, I'm also hours away from Cincinnati. :( Opening Day is pretty much a holiday in Cincinnati ... a parade that has people lining the streets

Ever feel like you have over committed yourself? I am the QUEEN of over commitment. My problem seems to be, however, when I over commit myself, I procrastinate on all of it. ... Then, of course, nothing

It cost 82 bucks to fill up my tank today. And we have weeks left until Memorial Day weekend, or that whole "start of the summer travel season." Great. I know. It seems every year, we hear the horror

Friday is here!!! ...And the weekend weather looks like it will be absolutely beautiful! Oh, and if you enjoy some free entertainment ... And who doesn't? Our Fox 21/27 Glee Sing off competition between

I'm still trying to decide what my plans will be for Easter weekend. I also thought maybe I'd be ahead of the game and start getting some toys and candy for my little guy's basket. THEN ... I realized

I take part in an interval training class twice a week at noon. LOVE it! Then, a friend talked me into doing a boot camp class the other 3 days at noon. This is my first week doing all 5 days at noon

Maybe it's not creativity, and instead just plain being a sneak ... Alright - 'fess up ... how many of you March Madness fans are busy minimizing screens on your computers at work

Just in case you have forgotten since my last post - 24 hours ago - our new morning show starts Monday!!! Yep, that's right - turn your television onto FOX 21/27 Monday, March 12th at 7 a.m. Bright

It was promo shoot after promo shoot today ... Why? Because we will soon debut our new morning show here on FOX 21/27 and today we are going to promote the heck out of it!

When I opened my Verizon wireless bill I thought I was living the reality of the current Vonage commercial currently airing. The one in which the couple is on the phone with one another talking about their

After 6 months of swinging hammers, painting walls and quite honestly building a house from the ground up ... Habitat for Humanity and its volunteers will hand over the keys to the new owners.
So I forgot to mention yesterday how awesome of a sports weekend it had turned out to be! The Packers won Thursday night. The Bengals won. The Brewers won (that's more my husband's thing).
It's the weekend! (Just in case you weren't aware:) After weeks of 90-plus degree days, then a week of rain from Tropical Storm Lee, I am ready for a cooler, fairly sunny weekend for the next 2 days. Of
Football season has begun!!!! And I realize that I need to get out and buy some more green and gold! I also need to get some more orange. I love the Pack ... covered them for 5 years when I worked at
I continue to talk about how I can "flip a dude over my shoulder" because, well - I think it's pretty darn cool. However, I do want to delve further into the self defense

My mom flew back home after spending the last 4 days with us. I have to admit, I wasn't sure what I was going to eat for dinner tonight. :) ... kinda got used to her making dinner AND desserts! Tonight,
Labor Day weekend is upon us. School buses are all over the road and well, summer vacation is pretty much over. It really doesn't even affect me. I work through the summer months and I don't have
Self Defense. We all talk about it ... but at least for me, it's not something I spent a lot of time learning. That is, until now. For one of my "Out and About with Becky" segments I decided to take
The final scrimmage is in the books for the Roanoke Valley Women's Soccer league and it was yet again, WAY fun! Rosters have to be finalized and turned in by the 1st of September so if you have any interest
Hurricane Irene is on her way ... as people are hunkering down for the hit, we may not even get an ounce of rain. It's so odd to me how my front yard is full of dry, crunchy grass and the people in the
So, haven't flipped anyone over my shoulder today ... haha BUT, it does appear Mother Nature continues to hand us the smack down. First the earthquake, then the aftershocks people are still feeling, and
Sooo, this self defense thing seems to be working. Tonight, we practiced a variety of escapes, take downs and strikes in the self defense class I'm taking. Unbeknownst to me (well, now I do know) but
Who knew I could start an Earthquake t-shirt collection in Virginia? I only know that today's shaking was an earthquake because I had felt one before ... the Cave Spring earthquake back in 2009. I had
Played my first game with the Roanoke Valley Women's Soccer League this weekend ... and LOVED it! The field is filled with ALL skill levels - whether you've never played a day in your life, or you've
Happy Friday! This weekend I get to take part in my first scrimmage with the Roanoke women's soccer league. I can't wait! It should be fun to meet new people and to finally get to play my FAVE sport
We just wrapped up the 3rd week of self defense class tonight. It's all about muscle memory ... repeating the same hits and kicks and the same escapes again and again so God forbid the time ever come,
Being a lifelong Bengals fan - born and raised in Cincinnati - I must say this article, written by Rick Reilly, may possibly be the best article I have ever read. Anything I could write won't even compare. It
Why look at you reality, you're still here after my week away at the beach. I have to say, this past week was spectacular. So I can't complain about being back. Many times I take "vacations" and it
That whole 'finding balance in your life' is pretty important I find. And ... taking time away from the daily grind is key. I often schedule my time off from work as long weekends or a day here and
I've played soccer my entire life. LOVE it! It's my outlet, a way to meet new friends and it's also not so bad for burning up a few calories! I have moved a lot for my job, and anytime I moved to
I didn't realize if you have the Medicare Advantage plan you can do such things as go to the YMCA for free, compliments of the government. I didn't realize if you own a race horse, you get tax exemptions,
The "normal" or seasonal temps for July in this area, I've been told, are normally around the upper 80's. Hmmm... don't think I've seen those around so much this month... just sayin'. It's downright
The quest for a swimming pool is on. I had decided with all our summer travels, invites to real swimming pools etc. Henry didn't needs some tiny kiddie pool.
During dinner break tonight, my 2-year-old walked up to me and said, "Kiss mommy" as he pointed to his cheek. I happily obliged. He then looked back at me and said "Lub you." Yep, my heart melted.
Sick of this heat ... because I feel sick from it. I normally am not the person heat or cold affects. Today, for some reason, after being out in it for most of the day, it caught up with me.
Henry turns 2 years old this week. At daycare, they asked if I was going to bring in cupcakes for his birthday. At first I thought, no. He's 2. He won't even know the difference.
Slightly GEEKED OUT about the U.S. Women's team heading to the World Cup final!!!! I think it's safe to say I now have a date with my television Sunday at 2 p.m.
What is star anise? ... and how do you cook with it? For that matter, add fennel seed and arrowroot to the list. I embarked on a new cooking voyage with some healthy recipe and it called for all 3.
My knee is O.K. - no tear!!! What a relief. As I said in one of my earlier blogs, I messed up my left knee right in the smack of a good working out streak. The LAST thing I needed was a bum knee.
Ever hit a lull in your workout routine? I feel like I am dangerously close to that and now to top it off, I messed up my knee. Erg. That's all I need - an excuse why I shouldn't workout.
Nothing says summer like skinned knees and watermelon. I don't often think of the summer holidays as a big deal. If you say "the holidays" I'm thinking of Thanksgiving, Christmas etc.
Just when I think my little guy is done with the whole 'infant/getting up at night' stage he throws me a curve ball. Someone mentioned he might be getting his 2 year old molars. Really?
I think I need to better schedule my vacation time. Somehow this year, I scheduled a ton of my vacation days within weeks of each other ... which almost creates stress in and of itself.
I've never been a fan of the first day back to work after vacation ... and I'm still not. Just got back from a trip to see family in Wisconsin and now I need time off just to relax.
So ... Ever hear people say that you should be refreshed and ready to go after a vacation? I don't know if I so much agree. In fact, I have much more energy before a trip than after.
It takes a lifetime - literally - for a Packers fan to make it through the waiting list for season tickets. Tens of thousands of people are on the wait-list to get a seat in the "bowl" as they call it.
Ever walk a tight rope 40 feet off the ground? Me neither. Well, until I found Camp Roanoke. So, I guess it's safe to say some of you out there actually have walked a tight rope. Umm, it's kind of unnerving.
I've been in Roanoke for 3 years now ... but it only took 6 months for me to realized I needed to stay off the Blue Ridge Parkway for fear my house may end up looking like the local pound.
It's amazing to me that a group of people, most of whom have backgrounds in anything but construction, can build a house. ... And it happens all the time.
