This Day.
It can only get better. It can only get better. It can only get better. 5:15: “Mom! I’m cold. There’s not room for me in the bed. I’m coming in,” says dear son. 5:16: Roll over and realize daughter is also in bed and sleeping. When did she climb in? Roll over and pretend to… Continue reading

Day 18
I’m about to head out on my 18th consecutive day of running. My niece over at Hanging By a Thread was inspired to run a 100-day streak. What this means is that you run at least a mile each day for 100 days. No excuses, find the time, or carve it out if you have… Continue reading

Fed Up
When I was in high school, I read Upton Sinclar’s The Jungle. It was a novel that highlighted the atrocities of the meat packing plants in the early 20th century. This book is what started it for me.
