Random Thoughts…
I’m feeling so blessed to have the opportunity to live in so many wonderful places and so grateful for the AMAZING people I have met along the way. I remember thinking not too long ago that I felt like this last year has been especially great and I was wishing I hadn’t “wasted” so much… Continue reading

FUN Run!
On this morning’s run I did my usual 3.5 mile loop and coming back under the highway, we ran into this: I’m pushing my 70+ lbs of kids and stroller and the sprinklers were on!!!! It was so fun, and I was reminded of why I love doing this. I run to feel good. Forget… Continue reading

Hau oli Makahiki Hou!! (That’s Happy New Year in Hawaiian!)

The first was in line at Subway. The girl behind me in line struck up a conversation about… Continue reading

Attitude
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. Same thing goes for 3 year old boys and food. I’ve been thinking a lot about my attitude and how it’s pretty much stunk up the place lately. We I am having (ha, ha!) trouble at times with my son and food,… Continue reading

The First Run….After
I went for my first run today since the marathon and I have to admit, I was a little bit nervous. During the marathon I had such crazy pains in my ankles, calves and knees that I think I was a little fearful that it would take so long to recover that I’d basically have… Continue reading

Gingerbread Fun!
When I was a kid, my mom had this fantastic cookbook – and by fantastic I mean very well loved and food-stained. It had this elaborate gingerbread house recipe on the inside cover. Every Christmas I would ask to make it until finally one year we did. It was so much fun and many of… Continue reading
