For the first time in 3 years, I’ve been sick. About a month ago I was feeling kind of achy and tired. I figured I just didn’t get enough sleep and my seasonal allergies were getting the best of me. The next week I completely lost my voice and all of my energy was just gone. I sucked it up and went to the…

    Battle of the Wearables Part 1: Apple Watch, Microsoft Band, and Fitbit Flex

Being physically fit is a reward in and of itself, however being able to quantify results from workouts and gym memberships with statistical data can add another dimension of reward and trackability to your fitness regime. We’ve had the chance to try out three different wearables and use them in our physical fitness activities, including running in them, working out in them, and just wearing them throughout the day.

I’ve been working out on a regular basis, but I definitely haven’t been giving my all. And my nutrition has been horrible. I’ve been the queen of fast, easy meals that haven’t always been healthy.

    Back to School with a Kindergartner and 4th Grader

    August 11, 2015 - By 

    As I just sat down and wrote the title for this blog it’s still hard for me to believe that I officially have 2 kids in school now. How in the world are these kids growing up so fast?!
