Things are… looking up!  Not “great” yet but getting closer.  After my not-so-fun weekend, I took some big steps to improve the situation on Monday.  First things first: a date with my gym hot tub (so I could get a momma break and ease my aching body).   Step two was getting my back adjusted again [...]

I usually pop in on Mondays with a fun recap of our weekend, but this weekend was anything but fun. In fact, it was pretty dreadful.  I hate to vent (because who wants to read a vent?!) but please… let me vent.   Wednesday – Experienced middle-of-the-night severe stomach pains. Thursday – Realized that I [...]

Training Buddy Brandi and I are doing more and more of our swims outside.  It’s so nice!  But I really need to think of a sun protection solution – my sunscreen comes right off, and I end up with all sorts of crazy tan lines.  Maybe I need a rash guard shirt like Henry and [...]

Tuesday started off really great.  I woke up ready to go and managed to find the time to run outside! I can’t even tell you the last time I ran ALONE outside – no stroller, no buddy, just me.  It was pretty nice, actually.  I pounded out those miles, too.  Running really is my first [...]

We kind of have a weird thing going on with our bedroom situation.  Our real master is downstairs; once Henry was moved to his Big Boy Room, we moved into the guest room upstairs.  Then, when I got really pregnant, I started to snore all night long, so the Husband moved back downstairs while I [...]

Rise and shine! My goal for the next few weeks – get into the habit of going to bed early!  The Husband and I have made pinky swear promises to be in bed by 9:30.  I have realized that it takes me a good 30 minutes to get into bed once I decide to go [...]

Happy Memorial Day!  Did you have a nice weekend? We had a great one!  We spent a lot of time outside… and a lot of time inside because we painted our master bedroom!  Some more on that tomorrow, though. Stupid = me feeding Claire in a walker.  I swear, just last week, I could ‘park’ [...]

I have so many kid-related updates to share, so I thought I’d dedicate an entire post to it.  Let’s start off with the big boy, okay?   POTTY TRAINING  (Namaste tee!)   SO proud of Henry.  He’s potty trained (he’ll be three in a month)!  Wahoo. I was really intimidated to potty train, but it [...]

This post is sponsored by Sargento Foods.   I didn’t want to miss out on recapping some fun we had a few weekends back. Better late than never, right? I was in desperate need for a BREAK from the daily grind.  Work had been crazy.  So I put away my To Do list, powered down [...]

The Kiddos: So, obviously, I am ALWAYS loving my kids.  But this week is particularly great!   I have lots of things to update you on (general cuteness, sleep training, and potty training), but that will go up in a post on Friday.  Stay tuned.   Wearing Colorful Lipstick: BFF Nicole and I always joke that [...]

Don’t forget the bike!  Hah. I feel like I did an awesome job packing for Sunday’s race.  I brought everything I needed but didn’t end up carrying around a bunch of extra stuff.  Here’s what I took with me: General: Tri-suit (I wore one from MooMotion) Enell sports bra (BTW, this dried off really well [...]

Since I posted my boot camp transformation, I've received so many questions from readers about the boot camp workouts. I hear over and over again, "I want to strength train, but I just feel so lost in the weight room!"  You all talk about feeling aimless and randomly picking up weights, doing a few moves, [...]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BUBBA Burger for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. On our awesome but super short beach trip, we had to feed 21 people - 5 men, 5 women, and 11 children, of which 9 actually eat solids. Suffice it to say that meal planning [...]
