For Tuesdays on The Run (a very fun link-up with some very fun blogging runners including my friend, Patty, from My No Guilt Life), the writing topic for today is “Favorite Distance” and this one is a toss up for me. Yes, I ran all those races. After all, in my 6 years of running I’ve […]
For Stay at Home Moms (and Dads) that Just Became Working Moms (and Dads)

Just wood. It wasn’t white when […]
That Time I Went Back To School and Knew No One
So, today’s writing prompt for the SITS Girls was to write about a back to school memory. Mine is a little different than most, but it was a great memory to visit. We moved a lot when I was a kid. And although at the time, I took it in stride (Dad was an airline […]
It’s FALL!! What I’m Looking Forward to This Season
