I love my 6am fitness class.  The group stays roughly the same – there are the die-hards who don’t miss a class (I’m in that group) and the people who come when they can.  It’s a great group of people who are encouraging and playfully competitive.   We’d just finished our workout and our instructor, [...]

Whoops!!  I’ve shared with you all before that I’m currently in the best shape of my life, and I’ll tell you why – because I work out!  I do an awesome bootcamp through Revelation Wellness  up here in my neck of the woods, which is through Fitness and Faith Northwest.  Thankfully, Shawn’s schedule works out that [...]

It’s so much fun to explore our new state!  There’s so much to do that’s outside and, more importantly, FREE!  Going for walks or hikes can be so much fun with your little ones, provided you keep a few helpful hints in mind! 1) Know where you’re hiking!   Use your local parks website to [...]

As a blog ambassador for Dirty Girl Mud Run, I was given free registration for the run.  All opinions are my own.  My partner in mud, Kim, and I prior to the run! Well, it’s officially been about 2 days since the Dirty Girl Mud Run here in Washington and I am so excited to [...]

I am a blog ambassador for the Dirty Girl Mud Run in Seattle, taking place on May 18th. My registration fees were waived as an ambassador. It’s scary just typing that phrase: “My first 5k.” Here’s the deal: I’m 32. I’ve never been in what I would call ‘good’ shape until this past year. I [...]

Disclosure: I received a product to facilitate my review.  All opinions are my own.   A couple of months ago, I received an email from Cassie Shelton, who is an Independent Distributor of It Works!  Have you heard of their products?  I hadn’t until she contacted me, and I started checking them out.  First, let [...]

Bumps.  Owies.  Scrapes.  Scratches.  Ouchies.  Boo-boos.  (not the Honey Boo-Boo kind).  All those little things that can happen when you’re little kiddo hurt, sometimes much more than we as adults think they should.   I was happy to have the chance to test out a brand new product from TruKid, a company that I’ve worked with [...]

      This is a little embarrassing to admit, but a child that I know (who may not be my own) has a little problem.  A gross problem, one that his mom (who may or may not be me) discourages actively but her pleas seem to fall on selectively-hearing little ears.  I’m talking about: Nose [...]

Water – it’s so important.  Not only to make sure you’re drinking enough throughout the day, but to make sure it’s clean and pure and tastes good, as well.  Here in Phoenix, while the tap water is deemed safe to drink, it’s not exactly tasty.  There’s a definite unpleasant taste to it, and it smells [...]

I was in the worst mood this afternoon – I’m not sure when it started but it really started showing up after a trip to the grocery store – as I was getting the kids settled into their seats, I notice the woman parked next to me checking her doors, review mirror really closely – [...]
