Recently, the girls spent the day with my mom and my step father. My step dad happens to be named Dave, and Ava and Maxine affectionately call him “GrandDave”. Ava loves all things volcanoes these days, and after watching a volcano movie at Granny and GrandDave’s house during their visit (yes, they still get to … Read more
I’m officially stocked up on things to blog about! First things first! On Sunday I took my camera along with me on an overcast and very-mild-for-January morning run. I took a punk along with me too. Who wants to come along on a 5 mile run through my new neighborhood? Well, you don’t have a … Read more
So I’ve got a couple of note worthy new house “firsts” to mention today. 1. Run the recycling bin out the curb barefoot and in my too-thin-for-29-degrees pajamas at 7:35 AM Oh sure, I’ve done this plenty of times before at the old house, but yesterday was the first time I did this at our … Read more
If I could sum up in one word what I’ve learned over the course of the last couple of weeks here, that word would be: Balance. Now of course this concept of “balance” is not a foreign to me or to you or to anyone who is at least somewhat committed to living a healthier … Read more

So for the most part, I have been thoroughly enjoying my 6 AM runs with my new running group. It feels great to get my run in so early and have exercise checked off my list first thing. I enjoy the company and conversation as well as the easy pace of the group. I do … Read more
Tonight I had my hopes set on a fast and easy dinner. I was ready to slice up a Kabocha squash that I found recently (at a store, not in my closet or something) but after it’s photo shoot on the cutting board, I flipped it over to find mold growing on the bottom and … Read more
Well, I have no pictures of our woodland adventures today because we were not there long enough to take any pictures. Within about 10 minutes I had two very cold, cranky girls on my hands that not even a backpack full of refined carbohydrates (pretzels, granola bars, kashi crackers) could turn around. It WAS cold … Read more
The holidays are over. We have moved into our new house and are mostly settled. A formal complaint was filed yesterday over the lack of home cooked meals and several informal complaints have also been filed over the lack of regular posts in recent weeks as well. It would appear that I am officially out … Read more
