Sometimes change is good, very good. Loving my new Maytag appliances! #Maytagmoms

A few weeks ago I did this…. A week after that, I did this…. I’m having serious running withdrawals and can’t put much weight on my right foot for extended periods of time, so I bought this…. Amazing workout. I’m really sore and happy about it. If you [...]

This last weekend, my brother and I went to Denver to run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. I was so nervous as my first marathon didn’t go as well as I would have liked. I felt better prepared and trained for this one and hoped that it would carry me through. I finished with a [...]

Meet Bessie. She’s our first pet ever. 4 years old, green eyes, sleeps all day, plays at night, looks like a cow….maybe that’s why she has a cow name? (We didn’t want to change it.) Likes to purr and scratch her head on door frames. Boys are ecstatic. I think I like her.

While at Brandcation, a few of us went Parasailing. I was a bit freaked out but excited at the same time. I went with Sam from Kidsumers and Toni from A Daily Dose of Toni. It ended up being pretty darn awesome. The view was awesome and we saw a ton of sting rays. This [...]

Taking a break and soaking in some sunshine. I’m so lucky to be their mama.

One afternoon last week, my kindergartener was upstairs playing. It got pretty quiet for a few minutes so I went to see what he was doing. I’ve walked in on him doing this multiple times since that day. He can write on my whiteboard any day he wants to work on Math.

This was taken in Idaho when we were visiting for Christmas. Now if only we could get some snow that would come and stay where we live. It’s been an abnormally warm winter.

Back in May, I set a goal to beat my half marathon time. To date, my best time was about 2:23. In all honesty, I can run for and long time and very comfortably at a 10:30-10:45 minute mile. I wanted to get past that and really push myself, so I set a goal time [...]

WHERE does the time go? He turned 6 yesterday. I swear he was just born.

I was in Atlanta last weekend for the O You! Oprah conference. There were 6 of us total representing Nature Made. Here we all are with Dr. Oz! Left to right: Mellisa – Fun Saving Money, Kim – What’s That Smell?, Dr. Oz, Becca – Mama B, Heather – Our Kids Mom, Me, Kari – [...]


Even though you think you are hiding behind that card….I still see you.

I love blogging because it helps me to write down and go back to remember memories. This picture was taken of Chandler almost 4 years ago. He wasn’t quite 2 at the time and it was one of the moments that I vividly remember. He hardly snuggled as a toddler, but we were boating and [...]

Last week I attended a Pampers Blogger Day. It was so much fun, and one highlight was getting to meet and do a Q&A with Rosie Pope designer of Rosie Pope Maternity and Bravo’s reality series, Pregnant In Heels! She’s totally adorable and so so nice. Just a few of us bloggers with Rosie. Left [...]


Sometimes I question myself and wonder how I am doing as a parent. There are days I feel defeated and like a failure. This last weekend our family was out of state celebrating Easter and my dad’s birthday. After my dad blew out the candles to his cake, I saw he and my mom give [...]

We are a tennis playing family. Both hubby and I played in high school. Chandler adores it and is actually really good in hitting and serving the ball. Impressive for a 5 year old.

One of my monkeys with a monkey. I could kiss that little face ALL day long.

I haven’t run since last October since I didn’t exactly want to run in the freezing cold, so I’m loving the Spring weather. Today was a beautiful day for a run. Running a half marathon April 30th and I just started training again last week. I love my Nike+ and how it helps me track [...]


I was looking at some fitness and yoga poses and was amazed at how these people can shape their bodies. If these aren’t inspiration, I don’t know what is!? Happy Monday! Source: Eugenia Woods Source: Devon Alessi on Pinterest Source: Love Stretch on Tumblr Source: Fit Sugar Source: Meditation-Yoga
