After a very emotional and long read about the race itself (you can read that here), I thought I’d take a minute to write something MUCH shorter about the weekend in general. (whoops, just finished the post and came back to tell you, it’s not actually that short. Sorry.) Where we stayed, what we ate, […]
New Blogging Friends! And Why I Love Bloglovin!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I am starting to feel like my adventures from this year’s Disney Marathon are going to take up quite a lot of real estate. There was just so much greatness that happened and I had so much fun that I can’t possibly contain it all in just one or two […]
Reflections on My Fourth Marathon – Disney World 2015
I wrote this a couple of weeks ago, but when asked by Tuesdays on The Run about my worst race, I decided to go ahead and repost this one. It’s hard for me to say that any of the races have been bad because even when the whole thing has fallen apart, I’ve learned stuff. […]

Why Christmas with Teenagers May be SLIGHTLY less Magical, but Is Still VERY Awesome
Scott and I are the proud parents of awesome teenagers. Having 3 teenagers AT THE SAME TIME is a unique, and at times, maddening situation. Scott and our oldest at last year’s candlelight service. No fear of people burning themselves when they’re all old and stuff;). Peaceful teenager coexistence. Lovely. The first few years we […]
