Mom, you should probably turn down your music. There are little kids outside. We started the weekend on Saturday morning with Addison’s Girls on the run 5K. She’s always been an athletic kid but I wouldn’t say she’s ever indicated that she enjoys running. I was surprised, but supportive in her new hobby. The morning... Continue Reading →

My favorite coffee cup Some days are better than others, that’s a proven fact. Usually there is no rhyme or reason. Nothing earth shattering. Shit, in all honesty being out of creamer for my coffee can set the tone for the entire day. Lame, absolutely lame. Not proud of it, just being honest. I’ve had... Continue Reading →

This morning started with a nice walk on the beach with Brogan. The little kids have been alternating sleeping in the bed with me. I don’t have a favorite. They each suck in different ways. One kicks and one snores. Either way this mom is looking forward to sleeping in her own bed soon. He... Continue Reading →

Put on the damn bathing suit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a one piece with a skirt, a two piece tankini, or a yellow polka dot bikini. Put it on and here’s why. You’ve spent way to much time picking yourself apart and it’s time to change the way you think. Those stretch marks on... Continue Reading →

What is it about sun and water? There’s something magical that happens when the two come together. I was hesitant to get in the water today. I was quite content laying on the beach soaking up the sun. Listening to the waves crash while feeling the warmth blanket my body. In the midst of my... Continue Reading →
