‘Yesterday’ was one the best days of my life……yesterday, as in 8 years ago today when I gave birth to our daughter Isabel. She is a kind, loving, thoughtful, patient, outdoorsy, lovely daddy’s girl. She brought us more joy than we knew was possible and makes our lives sparkle every day. Thank You for being…
Uh-oh, I am behind in sharing the latest Backside Challenge exercise again. Oh well, better late than never. I assume you have been performing some sort of glute exercise in the meantime right? Speaking of fitness, did you miss my post about meeting some of my fellow Fitfluential colleagues? Now, don’t get all excited and…

Prepping the area….. Grass is gone and rocks are going in….. Deck ‘modified’ to fit new stairs…… Special Delivery on Tuesday…
I can admit it: I love looking at, hunting for and reading about beauty products. Lately, I have been on the hunt for some new products to try as my skin started breaking out. You may think ‘big deal’ but I am not 18 and my skin has never had a big breakout problem. I…
I was not scared at all when I was first introduced to Jill Smokler at Blogher 2010. Then again, she was not introduced as ‘Scary Mommy‘. In fact, I thought she was very nice and dare I say ‘sweet’ (don’t tell her that I said that) When I found out that Jill was coming to…
