My dad runs. Every day, he runs. He doesn't really talk about it; he just does it. He wears microscopic booty shorts while doing so, but he's good enough that he totally rocks the look.My dad is a creature of habit. Every night he packs the same lunch: four kaiser buns the size of his head, two … [Read more...]
Before. And After(ish).
In January I started boot camp. My baby was four months old, I was a hot mess and none of my pants fit. The classes were challenging, and getting up at 6 am after I had been up a dozen times with a hungry infant was tough, but I kept at it, kept on squatting, kept on lunging, kept on sweating.Here's … [Read more...]
Do You Bikini?
Summer is nearing and it's time to break out the swimsuits! Yay?If you're like most women, the thought of flaunting your body in a revealing bikini is a little intimidating, especially after the effects of pregnancy. My struggles with weight and body image have gobbled up far too many summers and in … [Read more...]
Three Aprons Hanging
I've written before about how I suck at decorating our home and how I wish I had an extra helping of domestic prowess. But I did a little something this week on my wall that makes me smile every time I see it:Did I make the hooks myself out of antique knobs I found at a flea market? No. Did I sand … [Read more...]
Three Books
I love to read, but with three kids shrieking at my ankles, I don't make the time for it I once did. I do miss diving into a rich, deep novel and getting lost in the tales the characters weave for me, and now that I am done my real estate course and intend to kick back and catch up on all the … [Read more...]
How Does Your Garden Grow?
My thumb is black as night. (Photo credit: Natalie Dee)And, hysterically, I married a farmer. Plants, trees, irrigation, pest control, etc...he lives and breathes it. For the past three years I have planted a pathetic patch of vegetables, only to have the majority of the seeds never germinate, … [Read more...]
The Finish Line
I passed my real estate exam! This year has been more than a little crazy: completely renovating our home, having a third baby, starting the real estate course when she was four weeks old, committing to an intense boot camp exercise regime at 6 o'clock in the mornings, totally changing my … [Read more...]
Craftastic
I suck at crafts. Like so many other things, I wish I were better at them. I consider myself a creative person: I love drawing and graphic design and photography and writing. But give me a kid, some glitter glue and a pile of popsicle stick and I come up blank. I think a big part of my … [Read more...]
Wedged
A few years into this mom gig I took a look at my shoe collection and noticed that it had been reduced to a pile of sensible flats and homely flip-flops. So, I bought these:A tad ridiculous, perhaps, but they gave me the "I'm a WOMAN!" boost I needed and I walked a little taller in them (and not … [Read more...]
Hunger Strike
Karenna used to be a vacuum, clearing everything off the tray of her highchair, contentedly stuffing her chubby cheeks with whatever food she could get her meat-hooks on. Then she turned two and her appetite has almost disappeared. Perhaps she is too busy throwing tantrums and being hurled into … [Read more...]
