  • Magnesium: The Forgotten Mineral

    Friends of mine had a real scare last week — Liz and John are friends of ours back when Hannah was months old. Their son Jack and HB were close baby buds and we were all brand new to the parenting thing so stuck close together. Life gets busy as our kids get older, so…

  • Commitment and Focus are Ingredients for Change

      This is such a good quote because although Luck does play a part in so much of what happens — you have to focus and commit to make things happen. Because as sad as it is, things just don’t ‘happen’ when you are sitting on the sidelines. You have to clear a path, get…

  • You’re Awesomely Confident

    I am sore from yesterday’s workout. I didn’t realize it until I was stretching and warming up for today’s workout but walking OH lunges do a number on you each and every time! Here’s a few things I have read recently to share: Recipe: Sounds yummy: BEST Chocolate Zucchini Bread (Gluten Free, Paleo) THE TRUTH…

  • Stay Hungry My Friends…

    Mornings are so tough in my house –my son just refuses to adjust and get up. He has been this way since he was born –won’t go to sleep and when he finally gives in to it –it’s like moving the earth to get him to get up and when he does, he’s in the…

  • Memorial Day 2013

    Thank you to all of the brave men and women who give so much to protect our country. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

  • You Are Who You Hang Out With

    Yesterday, I posted the quote from Mohammed Ali around the Fake it till you make it theme. And it got me thinking more around this topic. What do all of those successful people do that others don’t? What is it about certain people you meet that draws you to them and makes you want to…

  • Jump and a Net will Appear

    Recently someone told me jump and a net will appear — and I have really taken that to heart. In many decisions I have made to help improve things in my life. I decided to get serious about things that just weren’t working out for me and instead of doing what I always do -put…

  • Busy Busy Day

     I took the day off to take Hannah to the orthopedist to have her wrist looked at — well she is now in an arm cast. I am sure the novelty of it all will wear off in a day or so. It will be a long four weeks for my baby. Today was a…

  • Life is Short – Appreciate

    It’s days like this that remind you how lucky you are to be where you are –and how in an instant life can be altered. The stories out of Oklahoma City after the tornado are heartbreaking. And I find that it’s too painful and heart-wrenching for me to talk or read about the children hurt…

  • Embrace Change

    Yesterday, I did my second 5K of the season for a great cause –the Joe Cassella Foundation 5K. I didn’t know Joe, but have come to know his wife Gina and she is a very special woman. The gang from CFI Endurance all gathered to run together and it was so fun. It was a…
