    10 Years as a Mom

    October 20, 2015 - By 

    10 years ago today my life was forever changed. 10 years ago today I gave birth to my daughter. As I told her good night last night I couldn’t help but stare at her in shock and wonder how in the world I have a 10-year-old. How in the world have 10 years already gone by?! I’ve now been a mother for 10 solid years! Wow!! Just like every year before I always sit back and reflect on the day that changed my life. I think about that beautiful moment when I held her little slippery body for the first…

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.

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. We have formed an opinion of the ones we’ve used, however…

    Back to School Challenge

    August 20, 2015 - By 

    I’m going to take a moment to be really honest with you all. I have been a huge slacker over the summer when it comes to my health and fitness. 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.
