I used to give myself the excuse that I wasn't meant for success because I didn't know what it was....I used to tell myself that I didn't deserve it. I didn't feel like I could be successful. I was always the"live by the seat of your pants kind of girl" never serious, never planning just [...]
As my sweet girls take their naps from playing hard at the pool and the beach I took some time to work a little and then I started to do some reflecting. You know, I am so grateful for the time that I have been given to be where I am with my family on [...]
This last month has been one of the most challenging times of our 14 years together after Adam tore his meniscus playing football. At the end of the night I have found myself looking at the dishes in the sink thinking "Ugh, tomorrow...We'll get them tomorrow..." and drag myself up to bed. I walk up the stairs [...]
I have started well into my journey of running and training for the Tough Mudder coming this September. The last couple of weeks I have been averaging about 10-12 miles on my body in addition to my Zumba classes and home workouts. Recently, in the midst of my run, about 3.5 miles in, I started to [...]
So this weekend we had a few surprise visitors drop in for just a moment but it was long enough for me to look around and see all the nick knacks, art work, mail, completely random stuff hiding around the house. We had all of our laundry done and folded but it was hanging out [...]
We are not perfect and we definitely know we are not the only couple having success with our marriage. Do not take this as bragging but being proud of a beautiful thing we have and can share the same experiences with our friends and family. Over the last 9 years of our time together we have [...]
After volunteering my time to teach a Zumba class to my local Mops group I found myself in awe. I was in awe of the beauty of like minded women coming together to support each other, take time for themselves and step outside of their environment as they figure out this incredible task called motherhood. [...]
Tonight Adam and I made a last minute decision to go out. We called our resources, found a sitter, put the girls to bed and set out into the town. It had been a couple months since we had gone a date with just the two of us and by golly it was wonderful! We [...]
Well... It is done! We are committed! Adam and I have committed to and registered for the Tough Mudder race September 12th at 8am in Snowmass Village! The two of us will be joining three other amazing couples as we trudge through a 10-12 mile (18-20 km) obstacle course designed to test physical strength and mental [...]
Tonight I found myself singing to myself that ridiculous song "Human Again" from The Princess and the Frog as we finished cleaning up dishes and tidying up from dinner. The crazy part is I wasn't singing it in a happy and sweet tone. It kind of sounded like a remix of Marilyn Manson and Johnny [...]
Sitting here at Starbucks with my Asiago Egg Sanwich and Chai I am enjoying this moment of "me"! I'm not being selfish and I do a lot for myself, but today the girls are with their grandparents and I get the day to enjoy. I am not going to ficus on work or cleaning house...My [...]
Here we are almost six years married and fully into our marriage and enjoying our little family with two sweet baby girls! With our tiny Lavidya now five months old I am ready to re-commit to the vows I made to my husband on our wedding day. I've played with the concept the last few months, [...]
