Hello from the Florida Keys! This is one of our favorite places to visit. It’s were I filmed my Florida kettlebell workout two years ago. I’m doing well and I have some very exciting news (at least I’m super excited!) that I’m going to share next week. There is a BIG adventure ahead but until then […]

So I’ve been eating pineapple and dates, walking, doing spinning babies exercises (don’t ask), and spent more time on my hands and knees these last few weeks than I have in my entire life. (I really should have invested in knee pads.) I’ve also turned in all my Go RVing assignments, written a few drafts […]

Still no baby here. My “due date” isn’t until April 5th so while I’m more than ready for his arrival and really uncomfortable I’m not worried. After all due dates are really just “guesstimates”. Babies come when they are ready not when they are “due”. As I’m preparing for the birth of Thing 3, I decided […]

Brent was out of town this week with Thing 1  sleeping on the ground (He he!) at Boy Scout Camp. So it was just Thing 2 and I for most of the week.  Not unlike our road trip in April. Tuesday night, instead of going to taekwondo I decided we should take the night off […]

Saturday morning, my family and I sat around the breakfast table.  Rather than attack our “to-do” list that is the length of all of our arms combined (I’ll explain later why it is so long.) we ended up procrastinating enjoying each other’s company and making a family “bucket list”. 10 Things: Our Family Bucket List […]

Thank you for all the advice and thoughts in dealing with Halloween candy.  I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said all week and decided, since Halloween the “sugar season” kickoff, I’d like to delve into the issue more. I have a younger sister.  She is my best friend.  We have the same biological […]

As a kid, Halloween was one of the most fun nights of the year.  I would sprint through the neighborhoods as if I was being chased by a stranger trying to get to as many houses as possible until the last porch light was turned off.  In a way, I was being chased except my […]

My love, I’ll never understand how I got so lucky. You know there are no photos or words that could ever adequately express my love and appreciation but I’ll do my best. THANK YOU….. …for going through life with me …for the thousands of kisses you’ve given us. …for the willingness to play …for taking […]

A Fluffy Flashback. I really can’t think of anything much fluffier than cupcakes. and This post has been patiently waiting amount the other 123 “drafts” in purgatory. A few months ago I took a mini-road trip to visit a cupcake truck even though I don’t eat refined sugar myself. (Don’t worry I asked what they […]

Today was an awesome day. We had a peaceful morning schooling. I got dressed by noon. My husband shaved. (nothing like kissing a smooth face) I also got in a few kettlebell swings. I’ve been wearing cut off tube socks “gloves” on my hands the last few days. (I ripped a callous off on Monday. […]
