Without planning anything special, my Friday wound up being super yummy.  Allow me to share. It started in Fremont with this “granola” bar.  I had never heard of Steve’s Paleo Goods before, but they reached out to me and asked if I wanted to be an affiliate.  Since I didn’t know anything about them, I said “thanks but I don’t know anything about you”.  So then they said we will send you some stuff to try and see how you like it.  Umm, Ok!  And you know what?  They are the coolest company!  You can… Read more >

Halloween seems to be the switch – and in the 24 hours surrounding the holiday it gets cold and turns into proper Fall weather.  I like the cozy feeling of layers but it’s hard to get motivated to exercise when it’s dreary and dark out until 7ish. Fortunately I had Stroller Strides to look forward to on Wednesday.  I had some serious peanut butter reese’s to work off 😉  Kyle left early that morning for a few days out of town, so it was just the three of us playing until preschool drop off.

Our Halloween was awesome. Just like the Christmas season last year, I am realizing more and more how much more fun the holidays are with kids.  The spirit is infectious.  It’s so sweet seeing everything through their eyes…especially things they’ve read about multiple times, but are now experiencing themselves for the first time.  Like trick or treating!  He got to knock on doors and say trick or treat and do all that stuff for the first time.

I felt pumped after my sweat sesh and that’s because I did a new workout.  I am a little embarrassed to admit this…buttttt…I did a new T25 this morning.  Yes, I’ve had the T25 DVDs for just over a year now and there are still a few workouts I haven’t mustered up the courage to attempt. … Read more >

Is it just me or has this Halloween been 5 days long? Coffee and crafts…what else is there to do when it’s dark out at 7 am?!  We’ve been extra into art projects lately because I am cutting off all TV.  We got into the habit of letting them watch one show a day to keep P calm during his post-dose “rest time” at grandma and grandpa’s house.  And then somehow, it made it’s way to our house every once in a while.  And now they are actually asking for it (whining for it) after… Read more >
