Finding Joy in the Journey
After a few experiences this weekend, I wanted to step back from the standard workout posts and to make a brief note about form. Here's the thing: the Internet is FILLED with great workout ideas. Especially with the rise of social sharing, Pinterest especially. On any given day, it's easy to log onto a computer... Continue Reading →
Moms are busy people. From making sure their jobs are done if they work outside of the home to ensuring the house is running smoothly, the family is happy, healthy and fed and spending time with everyone, it's easy to get overwhelmed or to feel like you're just not sure of how to fit anything...

Today was the day. As many of you know, the past year has been a time of learning a whole lot, reassessing, setting new goals and finding a new way to do things. Today I hit the pavement...outside! Let's rewind. I got into running to get back into shape...you can read my whole story here,... Continue Reading →
It's been awhile friends! Most of you know the reasoning...that we've moved out of Pennsylvania and into a new home and life in North Carolina. Many of you also know that this move was full of questions for me. I had no idea what the future would look like and what we'd find here. Let... Continue Reading →
It's here! The old has ended and the new has begun. In past years, for me, that meant setting a list of crazy expectations, coined "resolutions," and obsessing over how to make them a reality.

No problem...just grab 3 Kettlebells (1 heavier, 2 of the same weight that are lighter; think 30# and two 10#'s, 35# and two 15#'s or 40# and two 20#'s) and a bench (or sturdy, flat chair, curb, your choice!). The circuit is... Continue Reading →
For those of you who have been following for some time - or who know me personally - you know that this past year has been a little different than I planned. You also know that I went from an active, competitive runner, to someone who was wrecked by my past 2 distance attempts, leading... Continue Reading →
It's a little crazy to me that we'll be moving out of our first family home in just 5 days...that's 4 nights folks. At that point, we'll move into temporary housing until the big move itself. But... 4 nights in the house that was our first ever major purchase, that taught us that working hard... Continue Reading →
Something I've come to notice, especially recently, is that life is full of highs and lows. What's amazing to me is that sometimes those can happen at the same time! A little under 2 weeks ago, John and I sold our home in Pennsylvania. All of a sudden, our upcoming family move became very real.... Continue Reading →
