This month was a rollercoaster! Workouts, eating, appointments… doctors, vet, specialists, outings and occasions… extra homework and focus on areas my son needs a little work in, a handful of a puppy who demands my attention (we started training yesterday and that was beyond stressful). It was mentally taxing and a little (lot) tiring (my[…]

Today is Apple Pie Day for our family. One year ago today we said goodbye to my Nanny. She was the rock to our family and has been greatly missed. Life has not been the same, but through it all I’ve found strength, focus, and a drive to live each day to its fullest and[…]

Month 18. I’ll warn you it is a long one. I’ve been giving to myself for 18 months now but I feel compelled this year to do even a little more. Since my last post I’ve turned 35 and I am determined to make this year one of my healthiest yet. I am not defining[…]

I have made a goal to read more this year, every year! Sure, I am always reading things via my phone or endlessly scrolling my newsfeed, but I would like to read more things with content and that give me optimism or an escape from life for a few pages. Read real books and turn[…]

Almost a year ago I switched to an all natural deodorant (you can read about my change here). I do not have a family history of breast cancer, but I am not looking to start one either. I have read enough articles about possible links to chemicals we are applying daily to our bodies (moisturizers,[…]

This past Saturday my son and his friends took part in a cooking class with Pepperbean. I had heard great things about her and her classes as at least two of my friends had registered their boys (older than my own) in classes with her. The smiles the boys came back with confirmed they enjoyed[…]

We posted earlier this month that we were looking for a family to test a package of GoodNites Bedtime Pants we received from Influenster. We found a family who was willing to review and struggling with their 7 year old son wetting the bed 5-6 times per week. This is what they had to say[…]

My month 17 technically ends Sunday, but I will have no time between now and then to actually get on the computer to post, so we are reporting a couple days early! I’ve got two workouts left to finish the month and before I begin my 18th month Monday, they will be done! January was[…]

I hope you had a great set of holidays and Happy New Year! This past month has been a crazy one, the first two weeks I fought the beginnings of a cold, we had 4 family Christmases over the month and other family functions, a lot of eating outings and takeout (soooo much takeout!), baking[…]

Month 15. This month was summed up as “mediocre”! It was a very busy one, full of many commitments and outings and to be honest, exhaustion. I was tired – so much more tired than I ever am. It was a 5 week month for me, which means 15 workouts assigned, and although mid month[…]
