It Takes A Village To Get Your Tonsils Out
Let's start with the village idiot, shall we? She would be the one who gave me the wrong date for my son's surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. No biggie. It's just surgery and he only has a twin brother who needs to be cared for during that time and...
Another Mother Runner – Featuring ME!
I'm a double mother runner and I run like a mother and basically do everything else that way too…because I have no choice. However, Heather at Michigan Runner Girl who works with a couple ladies you may know from Runner's World - Dimity McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea,...
Allie’s Abs
No children were hurt during the making of this video…although they easily could have been. You see, dear readers and viewers, I have to trick my kids into giving me much needed alone time and, when making a video quiet time. The weather helped me out yesterday - it...
A Wedding Weekend
Oh where to begin? It was such a fun and funny weekend that seemed more like a week. As you may recall, the boys were ring bearers (although they actually "beared" nothing) in their first wedding and I was a nervous wreck. We live a short drive from the wedding...

Duathlon National Championship – Conquered!
I am a cyclist. From here on out I'm done with the "I'm a runner on a bike" line. How did I come to this revelation? On my way to placing 6th in my age group and qualifying for the World Championship Duathlon in Spain! YES! I did it. But, like many things you...
