We had days and days of downpours.  But yesterday, the sun came out to play!  Wahoo.  I spent last night on the deck with a big glass of wine and a few chocolate Easter eggs to celebrate.   Other things going on: Work from home life = 11:55 AM on the left, 11:58 AM on [...]

Are you doing lots of yard work these days? Man – I feel like that’s ALL we do on the weekends!  But it is all worth it when you get to kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, right? I cant’ wait to talk a little bit about our latest backyard transformation, and [...]

I’m in “double workout” mode.  Multisport workouts are going to be the key to getting in decent triathlon shape before my May and August races. Obviously, my schedule isn’t super flexible with the kids. One of the things that I’ve learned is that is far more efficient and effective to do a handful of doubles [...]

Made this yesterday and devoured the entire recipe almost immediately.  Well – I had some help! If my toddler will eat something that looks as ‘weird’ as this, you know it’s good.  Sweet, creamy, and flavorful, this is the best chia seed pudding that I’ve made to date! Super Creamy Chia Seed Pudding   Ingredients [...]

I was deleting pictures off my camera’s memory stick when I stumbled upon a whole block of pictures from Claire’s birth that I had never looked at.  I don’t know how that happened!  But it was fun (and, um, painful) to relieve that awesome moment all over again.  And it inspired this post… Of course, [...]

I can’t believe I’ve never shared this recipe. I love to make sangria – when the weather warms up and we’re spending all day out on the deck, I usually make a big pitcher of this fruity drink for everyone (well, all the adults) to enjoy.  But don’t worry – I have a non-alcoholic version, [...]

Here's what happens when a former Cardio Queen decides to actually dedicate herself to strength training! So, about 6 weeks ago, I started boot camp at my gym.  I decided to do this for several reasons. The first, and biggest reason, was that I was experiencing horrible back pain and had noticed that many everyday [...]

First things first, I'm KILLING it with the workouts, despite crushing exhaustion (THE FOUR MONTH SLEEP REGRESSION IS REAL).  I had a good week - boot camp on Monday, a bike/run on Tuesday, and more boot camp on Wednesday. I'm leaving soon to go on a long run. Many people have asked for a "boot camp transformation" [...]

This post is sponsored by Milton’s Craft Bakers. I have a fun recipe that would be perfect for your next backyard party + a review of an awesome brand of certified gluten free and Non-GMO Project Verified baked crackers + a big old giveaway!  Wahoo! First, let's talk crackers. A lot of gluten-free crackers taste [...]

Is it really only Wednesday? I feel like it should be Friday again!  I'm ready for the weekend for sure.  Maybe it's just that the past weekend was so much fun - I want to relive it all over again! It was, of course, Easter weekend. We spent Friday and Saturday in frantic "clean up [...]

I thought I'd share a breastfeeding update because, well, I get asked all the time about it!  And I think about it all the time because I do it, like, seven times a day.  I was pretty open about my journey (and struggles) with Henry, so I think it's natural that people are curious about [...]

After a few years off, we joined Costco again!  Walking around the warehouse made me feel like we were living in Orlando again, which is the last time we had a membership. We weren’t planning to join a bulk warehouse this weekend. We were actually scouting outdoor furniture – we went all over town. We [...]

Normally, I do a day in the life, but this time, let’s do 24 hours in the life – starting at 3 PM on Wednesday to 3 PM on Thursday! 3 PM – We are finishing up a rousing round of Hide and Go Seek, which involves Henry asking me what room he should hide [...]
