5:39 AM – Henry wakes me up. I tell him to go back to bed. He does, and I get out of bed. 6:00 AM – I pump, have breakfast, and say hello to Henry when he re-emerges from his bedroom at 6:05 AM. I wake up Kristien and pass off Henry because I [...]
As you read this, I am off on a jet plane to Chicago. I haven’t been to Chicago (except through the airport) for five years, and I’m excited to go back! Do you remember the Healthy Living Summit? It was a fun blog conference, and the year we held it in Chicago was my favorite [...]

I hope my fellow Americans had a wonderful Fourth of July, and everyone emerged from the holiday with a belly packed with watermelon and a driveway full of scorch marks from fireworks! We sure had a grand day. Things started off super early with the American Four Miler. This race has been moved – [...]

First things first – I am running an awesome giveaway on Instagram for two pairs of CSX Champion compression sleeves. These sleeves are BRAND NEW – so new that you can’t even purchase them on the site yet! I love-love-love the CSX Champion compression socks (seriously, they blow other socks out of the water).

Claire received a hand-me-down dolly with a realistic face (you know, the kind that opens and closes her eyes when you lay her down), and Claire thinks it’s the weirdest thing ever. She’s not sure if it’s real or not and will reach out to touch it before shrinking back at the last minute. Hah! [...]

So, even though I love-love-love my boot camp, I’ve decided to chill out on it for the month of July. I am not going to buy the unlimited monthly pass (which I’ve had since March – you can see my results in this post and this post) and may just opt for drop-in classes, if [...]
