Managing Motherhood

About a month ago I started to feel unsettled with my current life. Don’t get me wrong – I am GRATEFUL for the amazing life I have. My husband works insanely hard so I don’t have to work full-time. My kids are healthy, happy and fun. I am healthy, active and busy. So what the […]

Keeping up with the Ramseys.

This month, Ellie turned 10 months and Jack turned 2 1/2. Jack: – LOVES music and youtube music videos: pentatonix, Daft Punk and Michael Jackson are his favorites. – Favorite movie: Toy Story. He sleeps with a Buzz and Woody doll. Greets you by saying, “Howdy, Padnah (partner)” and “To Infinity and Beyond!” Refuses to […]

24 Day Challenge: Week 3

The challenge ended on Sunday. In typical fashion, I was delinquent in my blogging efforts because I was too busy telling the world I spent the last 24 days sugar-free, dairy-free and gluten-free. I lost over 10lbs. Five inches from my waist and two inches off my hips. To celebrate, I ate the icing of the […]

24 Day Challenge: Week 2

(She’s the perfect CrossFit partner! She hung out for 21-15-9 of dead lifts and sit-ups RX weight of 155# and I finished in 3:29. Then 5×5 back squats at 185. My coach, Kris, carried her around like a little CrossFit princess while he coached. She loved it. ) I survived the baby shower without […]

So long, 2013.

I am the worst blogger on the planet. I said it. I’m trying to be better. I promise. Love me. Anyways, well, 2013 ended very quickly and unexpectedly. It seems that the first half of 2013 dragged along at a turtle pace and then once baby #2 arrived everything went into hyper speed. Now I […]

i’m being held hostage by a kamikaze pilot.

We’re 1 month in to a new life with two kids under the age of two. For the most part, it’s wonderful. Hectic and chaotic, but wonderful. Jack loves his little sister, Ellie, especially her “feets” and toes. We’re working really hard on “GENTLE.” I always feel like I’m back training my Great Dane, Frankenstein, […]

12 days until I enter a psych facility.

Remember this post? this year I really made an effort. I tried. I tried to get my heart to grow three size, and it started to, but then five days before Christmas it shrunk back up. – I decorated. in the midst of moving, i decorated. granted, my tree is 1/2 decorated, but that’s […]

purgatory.

I am currently in purgatory. You know, the place in-between heaven and hell? Yeah. Currently, sitting in a gorgeous apartment with stuff still sitting in my old house. Still in the same city, thank God, but still a huge pain. Especially with a toddler and a Great Dane. I basically scramble around trying to figure […]

stop, collaborate and listen.

I feel so guilty for only posting once a month. It makes me cringe every time I think about my neglected blog. I want to write, I really do. But when I think about everything else I SHOULD be doing, it just falls to the bottom of my to-do list. SO, while I should be […]

Quarter of a Century.

Sorry for the delay in blogging. I turned 25 on Monday. This means I have Alzheimer’s already and they don’t have internet in the nursing home Spencer Pratt shipped me off to live. I can remember being 17, graduating from high school and thinking, “When I’m 25 I’ll get married. Then by 27 have my […]
