  • Digital Bullying

    Free to Be… Not Anymore I am sharing this because it really is a whole new world of bullying than when I was a kid. Recently I watched a Dr Drew show on CNN or some other station about bullying and he said something that really struck me. I may have even mentioned it here…

    It was a super busy weekend — Half the family went to the Joint Services Air Show and Hannah and I went to the Reston Arts Fair — and then we had laser tag parties, CrossFit, CrossFit Kids — laundry, cleaning, errands — no down time at all this weekend. I’m going to share some…

  • Venus with Biceps

    I saw a new book review that got my attention: Venus with Biceps: A Pictorial History of Muscular Women It definitely has not traditionally been the look of the ideal woman – strong, muscular woman. I do think the tides are turning or at least in the circles I hang out in …. CrossFit woman…

  • Trying CrossFit Kids for the First Time

  • For the Parents of Daughters out there – a word from Tina Fey

    For the Parents of Daughters out there –I read this and it made me laugh: Tina Fey’s lovely, touching and totally true ‘Prayer for a Daughter.’   First, Lord: No tattoos.

  • After Mom’s Day Workout

    I had such a great day yesterday — the weather was perfect and stars were aligned. Scott and the kids let me sleep in — and I woke up to tulips and handmade presents, then Scott & I made a gluten free breakfast pizza together, did some shopping alone, napped, then went out for an…
