    Workout Challenge Week 2

    May 6, 2014 - By 

    I recently started a 90 day workout challenge through Beachbody. I’m only in my second week and I can already see a huge difference in my energy level and strength. The program I am using is T25. Shaun T in my living room 25 minutes a day. The workout is pretty hard core and I have a love hate relationship with Shaun T. There have been times during my workouts that I have cussed him and flipped him off. But when the workout is over and I’m feeling great I’m thankful that he kept pushing me. After my first week of…

    Why I Took My Son Out of Daycare

    May 5, 2014 - By 

    A few months ago I had a job opportunity I didn’t want to turn down. The timing seemed to work out perfectly. I was able to transition my 3 year old son from part time parent’s day out to full time daycare the week I took on the job. The transition worked out perfectly for my son since his new classroom was right next door to the old one. He still got to see his friends and teachers that he has become attached to.

    Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Hearing Calliou’s whiny voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I was excited to get…

    Cades Cove Family Hike

    February 13, 2014 - By 

    In an effort to unplug and spend time with the family this past weekend we decided to escape to the mountains for the day. Where I live the mountains are our beach. The Great Smoky Mountains are this beautiful view that we see in our horizon, but rarely visit. It’s really a shame how little we visit the mountains considering how close we are. Cades Cove is the park we decided to visit this past weekend. We picked the perfect time to visit. We always tend to avoid Cades Cove when we visit the mountains. While it is a very…
