Welcome To Flu Season!

December 10, 2013 by Sara 4 Comments

We ALL Must Learn CPR Now!

December 3, 2013 by Sara 5 Comments

When I was about eight months pregnant, my step-mother and I took an infant CPR course. I was exhausted and emotional but followed along. A couple weeks later, down the hall, Will arrived. It felt so weird to walk past that classroom with him in my arms. I wished I had paid far closer … [Read more...]

That time I met with Madonna’s personal trainer! What?!

November 30, 2013 by Sonya 4 Comments

I'm one of those people who don't enjoy working out. I always say, "I don't run...unless it's on sale." But don't get me wrong, I totally admire those people who are sooooo motivated and dedicated to working out. Maybe  I just haven't found my "calling" yet. Yeah, that's it. So, when I was … [Read more...]

FitChicks Weekend

November 18, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

I had the great good fortune of attending a FitChicks weekend at Horseshoe Valley Resort a week ago with my 16 year old daughter. I believe good habits start young and wish that I had been better coached as a teen. I was thrilled that they extended the invitation to her as well. She and I have … [Read more...]

Starting Over!

November 6, 2013 by Sara 7 Comments

Sounds dramatic right? It's not really. But it's necessary. I have to hit reset. Reset on my health and on my fitness. Let's go back a year and a half or so ago.  Middle of April, 2012. I'd had it. My health was crapping out. I was tired all the time. I felt like ass. I was so sick of it. So I … [Read more...]

The Importance of Mommy Get-Togethers

November 3, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

After having baby I had that desire to spend time with other new moms. I had met a few moms at the hospital pre-natal classes and we became friends. We would meet at the local coffee shop or each other's homes on a weekly basis. They were my sanity savers! There are great mommy networking groups, … [Read more...]
