Jay signed up for the Merrell Down & Dirty Mud Run again this year ~ his third year in a row. It’s a lot of fun to be a spectator as well as participate…I partook last year and it was quite the comedy. You can check that out here. Jay requested a nice pasta meal [...]
Hi friends! Happy Friday…we’re already 10 days into the new year and I’ve been meaning to share my/our word for Twenty-Thirteen. This is the first year I’ve done this, but I think it’s a great way to focus and a good reminder to what it is that you’d like to accomplish in the upcoming 12 [...]
Well, it’s official…I’m not only a soccer mom, but a soccer coach mom! I’ll be channeling my {non-existent} inner Brandi Chastain and coaching Holden’s U6 team this fall. Scary since the last time I “played” soccer was circa 1983 in PE class at Wangenheim Junior High. However, the nice people at AYSO assure me that [...]
I decided that July was going to be dedicated to focusing on health….mainly mine. I needed to step up my fitness goals and revamp my/our eating habits a little despite the fact that it’s summer, HOT and all that sounds good is eating out and having ice cream on a daily basis. Just because we [...]
This year we’re attempting a more healthified Fourth of July. Lately I’ve been feeling a little {off} and am hoping that dedicating July to establishing a healthier lifestyle will alleviate some feelings and anxiety I’ve been having about my well being lately. I have decided to bow out of a Cupcake Wars that I was [...]
Hello and Happy June! I meant to pop in yesterday, but the day got away from me…looks like the year is getting away from me, too. Yikes. Marta over at {Haus Of Girls} is promoting a little challenge for the month of June that I immediately hopped on board with. 40 Miles In June If [...]
Last year Jay participated in the Merrell Down & Dirty Mud Run. It looked like {fun} so I told myself I’d do it this year… I have absolutely NO upper body strength so I was nervous about a few of the obstacles…namely the 8 foot rope wall at the END of the course. When you [...]
I’m in for the 5K Merrell Mud Run on April 15… Jay did it last year and it looks like a ton of fun! My friend, Vicki, and I have measured a 3.1 mile route {with hills!} and have tried to decrease our time each Tuesday and Thursday morning. We should be in good shape [...]
Last night while watching The Biggest Loser, this guy said something that really resonated with me… {via} “Gimme the best version of you today.” ~ Dolvett Quince I love that. Give today {and everyday} the best. So simple. Yes, sometimes we may go astray, but we can ALWAYS try. Make this Wednesday the very BEST. [...]
