What more do I love than fitness? My family getting fit together! My two munchkins are the reason I make fitness a priority. I not only want them to see me taking care of myself, but I also want them to know that it is what we do as a family. Disclaimer: This post was […]
Happy Birthday to My Love {Weekend Recap}
On Friday we started a weekend-long celebration for the main man in our house: my hubby! All he wanted for his 34th Birthday was time with us- and that is what he got. But before I recap the weekend in its entirety, I want to give a little shoutout to the Birthday guy… Tribute This […]
Happy First Birthday to my Son, M
I can’t believe it has been 1 year since we welcomed this little man into the world- what an absolute blessing he has been. I have been searching for the words for this birthday tribute. I have started and stopped this post several times in the last couple of days. There are no words to […]
Happy 3rd Birthday to My Munchkin, C
Happy third Birthday to the little girl who first made me a Mommy! I cannot believe it has been three years since she has graced us with her presence. I do not even remember what life was like before her. She brings so much joy, laughter… and some times “head scratching” to our home- I […]

Toddler Energy Burners {Part I}
February 16th…. according to that silly groundhog, we still have 4 weeks of winter left. If you are like me, you are probably thinking, “how am I going to get through 4 more weeks of winter with this rambunctious toddler?” Plus, I am not confident that it will only be 4 more weeks: March in […]
New Year, New Goals {2015}
We are 7 days into the New Year and it feels good to me! I have ready many blogs and statues that say, “I don’t make New Year’s resolutions,” or statistics about people who make resolutions and don’t stick with them. I am the opposite. I am all for goals for the New Year: goals […]
One Year Later {My Daughter’s Seizures}

Besides a little bout with mastitis, we enjoyed several Christmas celebrations over the last week, and are now onto our final Christmas gift: a ski trip. Before we get on the road, I want to share […]
