I’m going to talk about the Coronavirus today. But before I get started, I’d like to just give a sort of disclaimer on this whole thing. Yes, I am going to talk about my feelings. NO, that does not mean I do not understand that there are people out there truly suffering. I know there […]
Hey guys! Back today with a bit more about how to start running! If you missed last week’s post, you can find that HERE. Running is my very favorite way to relieve stress, take time for myself, and my favorite way to work out. Every run I finish makes me feel powerful and accomplished. It […]
The most common question I get from you guys is: How do I start running??? So today, I’m going to start answering ALL THE THINGS about my very favorite way to exercise. Also, may I just point out quickly that NOW is the PERFECT time to start running? I mean, you’re home, you need fresh […]
If there’s one thing I’ve learned the past few weeks , it’s that going outside saves sanity during social distancing. My kids haven’t left the house in three weeks, so they fight constantly. My almost 6 year old acts like a 2 year old half the time. My 2 year old bites, hits, and pinches […]
I think it’s time we talk about morning routines. A little over a year ago, I committed to waking up at 5 AM instead of 6 AM, and it made a huge difference in my life. So much so that, somewhere along the way, 5 AM became 4:30, and as I type today…I wake up […]
Welllll…WOW. It’s been a wild few weeks, hasn’t it? We’ve been lying low over here. Our kids haven’t left our neighborhood in probably two weeks or so, and we only go out to get groceries and to go to work. Anyway. I thought we’d talk about surviving social distancing and how to make it easier […]
As a mom who has just recently been relieved of dirty diaper duty, I figured we could talk potty training today. Full disclosure: My youngest is two and a half and just started pooping on the potty about a week ago. But he’s been peeing on the potty and wearing underwear for probably six weeks […]
We said goodbye to our beautiful golden retriever in the middle of the night this past Friday. It was scary, emotional, and we’re all still trying to process her death. I keep expecting to hear her coming down the hall to grab a drink of water or to go outside. Dear Maya, Less than a […]
In honor of this day, I thought we’d chat about little ways to show kindness to those in our lives. “Amazon Prime” a friend a good book you just read and think they’d enjoy too. Write someone a card and SNAIL MAIL it to them. (You never know how much they might need your […]
Have you ever been too afraid to ask for what you need? I know I have. Motherhood is tiring. Being a wife is tiring. And sometimes, I forget that I’m allowed to need help to get it all done. To survive. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. A couple weeks ago, we were […]
