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. [...]

Since yesterday’s post was a little bit of a downer, I thought I might amuse you today with an account of my attempt to get back in some sort of pre-pregnancy shape. Anyone who has children (small or otherwise) knows that it’s hard to carve out enough time for yourself to shower and have a [...]

A recent tweet from Dr. Oz caught my eye: “one of the hardest rules to follow . . . @DrOz said no to snooze button. makes you feel worse.” This idea intrigued me. Is it true? Does the snooze button make you feel worse?

I was all set for my next post to be about (what else?) baby preparations – beds specifically. Don’t worry, that post will be forthcoming, but first, I had to post about something more important. Yesterday, my darling husband ran the Cowtown Half marathon – 13.1 miles of hills and bricks. This was Bryan’s first [...]

No, I didn’t go up in space (though I’ve been accused of being quite spacey lately). I’ve been swimming in my ever-so-cute maternity suit twice. It felt so good to get moving again, and to be moving without feeling so awkward or huge. Now, I know that I’m not as big as I’m going to [...]
