The thing is there were puddles and it was pouring…just doesnt make it the safest situation to be in. warm-up rockette kicks…

  • 12 years strong

    12 years ago today, I married one of the greatest people I have ever met. We met at Aol. in Tucson, Arizona and from our first date on – we knew we would be together forever. I truly believe that when you find your perfect fit, you just know it – Scotty is my perfect…

  • Happy Transformation

    This week both Passover and Easter occur. While I am of the Jewish faith, although not very religious – Scott is Christian – and not very religious himself. We are choosing to raise our kids as Jews with a modern twist. Because when it comes down to it – we want them to believe in…

  • Happy Birthday to my Bea

    Happy Birthday to my beautiful Hannah Bea. It’s crazy to think it’s been 8 years since you were born — I am the luckiest Mommy in the world to have you. I don’t know about you but I still can’t believe I am a Mother. Time stopped in my mind sometime in my 20s so…

  • Happy St. Patrick’ Day

    The weather was incredible yesterday and we are supposed to have more great weather to round out the week. Spring is in the air! I went for a run last night when I got home from work. I am very lucky that Scotty is so supportive and has no issues manning the fort while I…

  • Naptime!

    It’s President’s Day. Happy Birthday to all of our leaders! Last night I asked my family during dinner who was their favorite president and why. The answers were : Abraham Lincoln – because he helped people and freed the slaves Barack Obama – because he’s our president and he’s nice George Washington – what a…

  • Maintaining Balance

    I took today off from exercising. I worked out yesterday and basically did some serious activity all week long, including more shoveling than I care to recall.  I will head to Gold’s tomorrow to do some running and light lifting! I am so ready to head back to boot camp with the group next week!…
