Soft And 30

April 30, 2014 by Amanda 2 Comments

I am going to be 32 this summer and so far, the rumors are true: the 30s are way better than the 20s. So many of those Big Life Decisions (Who will I marry? How many kids will we have? Where is my career going?) are made and now we just get to live them out, more secure and confident in who we … [Read more...]

Couch To 5K

April 9, 2014 by Amanda 4 Comments

  I was a fat kid. It sucked. School track meets were traumatic, gym class was a nightmare, and it was emotionally trying to wade through the awkward waters of adolescence in a thick, wobbly frame. Being overweight made it hard to enjoy exercise, so I never really pushed myself … [Read more...]

Things That Suck: Adult Acne

April 2, 2014 by Amanda Leave a Comment

When I turned 31 I got hit by a case of adult-onset acne that left me feeling defeated, homely and in pain. As a teen, I had fairly normal acne, with a few breakouts before my menstrual cycle would begin, but nothing like what I had been dealing with over the past year. Every morning I would wake … [Read more...]

Spring Break Part II (Alternate Title: SO OVER IT)

March 26, 2014 by Amanda 1 Comment

Spring Break is TOO LONG. It came in like a lamb, all soft and warm and fuzzy with good family memories at the ski hill, but this second week is proving to be a ghastly lion as the girls claw each others' eyeballs out and bicker for hours on end. Spring Break is TOO LONG I think we have all just … [Read more...]

Death Becomes Me

February 27, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

A few weeks ago I was telling some new friends about my obsession with reading obituaries. This isn't a depressing habit. I'm not dressed in black, listening to the Cure on loop and dreaming of my demise. On the contrary! I probably spend half an hour every weekend pouring over the obits. Weeks … [Read more...]

It’s Heigh Time

February 12, 2014 by Amanda Leave a Comment

  Last week my far-away friend, Christy, along with her husband and four (!) children, spent seven days at our house. It was wild and wonderful and loud and hilarious. Seeing our kids play and connect after years between our last visit (they used to live in the same town as we do, but moved … [Read more...]

My Own WILD!

February 6, 2014 by Sara Leave a Comment

Have you read the book Wild yet? It's by Cheryl Strayed who lost her mother, ruined her marriage and lost her way in life...and then decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail alone. Did I mention she wasn't a hiker? Had never done any trekking before? She didn't break her boots in before she … [Read more...]

Mike From Canmore

January 22, 2014 by Amanda 1 Comment

I just got back from a glorious mini-holiday to the heart of the Rocky Mountains with one of my dearest girl friends of all time. We hiked, we toured Lake Louise and took in the ice carving festival, we sipped hot cocoa, we watched weird independent films and stayed up late eating junk food, … [Read more...]

Adieu, 2013…

December 31, 2013 by Tracey 9 Comments

[Press play...] [youtube id="DHEOF_rcND8"] I find it a little bit strange to be at the end of another year. I mean, already. Again. Me: Wow, Time... you sure do march along in a hurry... Time: *coolly* Whut? Me: Time! I'm speaking to you!! Weren't we just here a minute ago? New … [Read more...]

Footsie Reflexology

December 10, 2013 by Tracey Leave a Comment

Re-flex-o-lo-gy: an ancient Chinese medicinal practice which is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet, (and hands, or ears) with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that are said to reflect an image of the body on the feet and … [Read more...]
