I was given free product but no compensation by the great people at Vega Sport. All opinions are my own:). “Sweaty Selfie” after 6.5 miles in 80 percent humidity! Most of the time, I am an early morning runner. In the summer in Texas, those mornings are even earlier because I want as much time …
Today is my birthday. On July 17th, 1970, in Huntington Beach, CA, I was born. I looked up historical things that happened on that day and literally all that the google could come up with was this: “30,000 attend Randall’s Island Rock Festival, NYC” It was a very slow news day (although I do share …
It’s finally Friday. I don’t mind telling you that this week has been a kick in the tail feathers. Between a very busy travel schedule for my internationally jet-setting husband (insert eye roll here), attending college orientation for my oldest child (more on that in a minute), getting the twins ready for beach camp, caring …

But hey, if I can’t even remember maybe you won’t, either, or maybe you need to hear it again? Me after …
Scott (my husband of 25 years) has agreed to help me blog from time to time and I talked him into yet another one today:). At Heart Castle last month on family vacation As an airline pilot, Scott travels for work most weeks. He has still managed to stay consistent with his workouts even with …
I originally wrote this last year, but when I went back and re-read it I found I needed the encouragement of my own words to remind me of who I am and who I belong to. Happy 4th of July, Everybody!! On the fourth of July, Independence Day, we celebrate our independence from Great Britain. …
This is going to be a very narrowly focused post and I am aware that for 90% of you, this does not apply. But it may someday. So just hang in there and maybe tuck this information away somewhere for later. When the boys were small, they were adorable and fun and messy and we …
