Well holy moly folks, yes I’m still alive! I’m not even going to say I’ve been busy because that’s just the norm these days! Sometimes this poor little blog just gets neglected. 🙁 One BIG reason my blog has had crickets chirpin’ lately is my laptop computer conked out!!! Wha!??! So sad, scary, frustrating and stressful at the same time!! It’s been acting up a little bit the past couple months, but last week I got a little bit of water in it (long story) and it killed it. Thankfully, I was able to recover all of my data. Phew. Continue Reading…
My Baby is Growing Up + Things that are Working and NOT Working for me Right Now
Well hello my friends! I’m sad to say that this little sweetie pie started preschool this week. 🙁 Oh my heart. Ya know, I just gotta say that I am a big giant wuss when it comes to my kids “growing up and getting bigger” stuff. It absolutely slays me! Especially this little guy because he is my last little baby. I gotta say that these past few years as I’ve watched this little baby grow into a little boy have been full of so many mixed emotions. It just kills me to know he is my last little buddy Continue Reading…
The Craziest Month, School is Back in Session + Evaluating my Healthy Lifestyle
Well holy moly folks, I’ve neglected this little blog! I may sound like a broken record, but quite frankly life has been NUTS! Like really. I loooooove summer, but it seems like every year by August, summer becomes so insane that I start counting down the days until it is over! It just seems like we’re always so busy, the kids start getting stir crazy and more impatient with each other, I get more impatient with them, the lack of a schedule starts to get a little old, the constant chaos, eternal mess and random children running in and out Continue Reading…
Finding My Oomph, Loving My Workouts + Some Good Eats
Hello my friends! I can’t believe it is now August. This summer has been flying by! Well, I started my Oxygen Challenge, #OC4, two and a half weeks ago and I’m loving it, but I’ve been struggling a little bit this past week. Gah! I really love doing these challenges and I’m usually super motivated, especially at the beginning, but I’ve had a few things working against me. 🙁 My 14 year old got a really bad cold a couple of weeks ago and he’s still not quite over it yet. I think I caught his cold about a week Continue Reading…
We Ran the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay Race 2018
Well hey guys! I’ve just decided that summer is kicking my butt, lol. 🙂 I’m LOVING summer, the beautiful weather, the fun activities, the warm nights…..everything, BUT MAN, I can’t seem to be a productive human being! I can’t seem to get us on any kind of a schedule and all of the random projects I thought I’d accomplish, just ain’t happenin.’ I really feel like I’m just herding cats all day long. For reals. So, I’ve just been trying to embrace my roll as a professional cat herder and not go crazy in the process! Ha ha. I’m still Continue Reading…
Loving My Workouts + I’m Starting the Oxygen Magazine Challenge 4!
Well hey my friends! For some reason I thought I would have *more* time in the summer to get things done, get a little organized and relax a bit. Ha ha! Sadly, that has not been the case! I have had a few moments of quiet here and there, but I never know when they are going to happen! It seems like all of the planets have to align and then when I finally realize, “Hey, it’s actually a nice quiet moment right now….what should I do with this blissful time?” **Poof** It’s over! 😉 Sooooo, I’ve just been trying Continue Reading…
