Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

I promise, I promise, I’m working on a post from the birthday party festivities, and I’ve got another one that’s a little more serious rolling around in my brain. But for today, I’m sending you back on over to the Texas Health Resources Momblog for my latest contribution, Time Management. I hope you like it. […]

Well, remember how nervous I was two days before the race? It turns out, I was worried for nothing! No, wait, stop. That’s entirely untrue. I was worried – terrified was the word I believe I used (more than once) – for very valid reasons. I had slacked off in my training: motivation and time […]

Well, it doesn’t have quite the same ring as New Year’s Eve Eve, does it? But that’s what it is. We’re two days out from the Dallas Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon – my first half and Bryan’s fourth. To say I’m nervous would be quite an understatement. My training has been in the toilet lately – […]

I ran my first ever 10K race today. To say I felt unprepared would be an understatement. I’ve been training for the Dallas Rock-n-Roll half marathon at the end of March, and had been doing pretty well, until . . . remember that ice/snow I posted about from the beginning of the month? Yeah…that, combined […]

Well, y’all, thanks so much for the support from last night’s post. Really and truly, it helped more than you know.  And, since the last two posts have been rather downers (okay, truly downers), to prove I’m not always a negative Nellie, this post will be more fun.

A week ago, I made my “triumphant” return to racing post-baby. I say triumphant because, even though I didn’t win, or even place in my age group (heck, I didn’t do that pre-baby, so why start now?), I did make it through the whole race without any walking, and in much better time than I […]

Most of you know that I was, pre-baby, a runner (mind you, I wasn’t fast, nor did I have lengthy endurance, but I did run multiple miles quite regularly, and enjoyed it). Most of you know I’ve been struggling to get enough balance back between work, new mommyhood, and crazy-busy schedules to get back into […]

I have found a new woman to admire. A friend of mine shared this article, and I am now in love. While I’m not sure I’ve ever truly tried to be a Supermom, I have had aspirations. Unrealistic aspirations, really; ones that leave me sometimes feeling beaten down or overwhelmed at all that Supermom would […]

On Labor Day (yes, yes, I know, I’m late posting this – so sue me), we took the boys to Eagle Mountain Park for some hiking. Bryan had been out there trail running in December and had been itching to get the boys out there since then. The trails are well-marked and nice and wide. […]

I am beyond excited! I got to do a guest blog entry on the Texas Health Moms blog about transitioning Sam to sleeping in his own room. It posted today! In case you’re wondering, the THR Moms blog is really great – I’ve found some wonderful tips and just great all-around mom stories reading it. […]
