Lately I’ve been feeling weighed down by the little itty bits of every day life. The kids and marriage are great, I have wonderful friends, my family is doing well and the weather is gorgeous. The mental checklist of “Big Happy Things” can be checked and double checked. So the blahs are coming from theContinue reading “5 Little Happiness Boosting Ideas.”

Yum Alert: Pineapple Carrot Muffins with Walnuts and Raisins

On sunsets, shin splints and acknowledging my age.
We recently joined a new gym that is open, I kid you not, 24 hours. They also have free child care, free drop in classes and personal tvs on every exercise bike.

Yesterday I took my daughter to Target to pick up some groceries and browse around the clearance racks for a bit. She’s a fairly girly girl and like her momma, she loves toContinue reading “Potty training just got a lot less messy – and a lot more pretty, too!”
So it’s come to this.
I joined weight watchers today. That one sentence has so much meaning behind it. Meanings like, “I am feeling empowered enough to take a step towards better health for myself!” or “I acknowledge that I need to start eating better and exercising more!” but also “I’m admitting that keeping my diet in check alone is not workingContinue reading “So it’s come to this.”
