Each day I wake up, from the non-restful sleep I attempted the night before, my mind is already racing with panic and fear of what lies ahead.  I worry about their moods, their happiness, their fears, and their successes.  I worry about what’s happening for dinner, what’s happening tomorrow, what’s …

I’m gonna say it… Mamas can’t say it… But I’m gonna say it…put it right out there IN PRINT. Sometimes, I miss my old life. Gasp! I miss old me. More carefree(ish) me. I miss old me. More carefree(ish) me. I miss cussing me. Traveling me. Endurance races me. Long …

It’s barely summer in Northern Nevada and I’m already anxious thinking about more cheese ball and Otter Pop covered fingers destroying, err… exploring, the messy depths of my house. My current laundry situation is overwhelming at best and I find that just closing the door to the chaos that is …

I love to make checklists, visual reminders of the things I want to complete, and lately has seemed filled with busy-ness as our family adjusts to the rhythm of 2 working parents. A rhythm we certainly haven’t settled into yet (despite having 6 months already). I don’t want summer to …

Newcomers to Reno likely won’t appreciate how truly great it is to walk into a grocery store and not be hit by a huge waft of tobacco smoke, but those who’ve lived here a decade or more will. Our family moved from Reno to Southern California in summer 2005, when …

I’ll be the first to say, if you would have asked me a year ago, there was NOT A SINGLE CHANCE I would be caught dead on a stage in front of a bunch of people in a teeny weeny bikini, with that ridiculous spray tan. It’s funny what a …
