This spaghetti squash has been cut back a number of times because it kept trying to get in with the tomatoes. The other day we came out to find it made it’s way back in with them again. This time it started to produce a squash. The main problem is that it’s way up inContinue reading “Defiant Squash”

Public Outdoor Piano
My little town has setup something pretty interesting recently. It’s been setup for at least a couple weeks now but I just noticed it personally just the other night. In the Centre Square area they’ve setup a public piano that anyone regardless of talent can come play at anytime. It’s a pretty cool concept. MaybeContinue reading “Public Outdoor Piano”
Dance Class Parent Participation
Yesterday in the morning I didn’t end up getting out for a run as I had planned. Getting out of bed wasn’t my problem this time. I actually ended up with lots of sleep because I went to be early. 5:30 am didn’t seem so bad at all. Just as I was getting ready toContinue reading “Dance Class Parent Participation”
First Sleep Over
Over the weekend Noah went to his first ever sleep over at a friends house. It’s irrational but I always get a little worried when the kids go for a sleep over, especially the first time. I was pretty sure Noah would be fine, but there’s always that chance that they are going to getContinue reading “First Sleep Over”
Week One Summary
It always seems easiest to take off weight in the very beginning when you start working I find. This week seems to be no exception. I’ve been working hard and making sure I eat right, except for a couple small lapses, but even those were minor really. This week I put in five 5k morningContinue reading “Week One Summary”

Dropping Everything
Not sure what’s happening with me lately, but I seem to have become very clumsy or something in the past couple weeks. Things keep spilling when I touch them make a big mess. It started with me spilling my freshly made large travel mug of coffee all over the counter and floor when I wasContinue reading “Dropping Everything”
Life’s Crossroads
Throughout life there are always moments and decisions that can have drastic impact on where we end up depending on the choices that are made at that time. Everyone can think of examples of these: What if I had gone backpacking across Europe instead of going to College? What if I never took that jobContinue reading “Life’s Crossroads”
Rest Day and a Good Article
Yesterday was a rest day for me. I had just done six days of evening workouts and for the last four of those I did 5k runs in the morning. In my brain I know rest days are good things and that your body needs them too, but for some reason I always feel guilty.Continue reading “Rest Day and a Good Article”
No More Blueberries
Getting ready for bed Noah wanted to have blueberries for a snack. He had already eaten them a couple times during the day and can go through quite a few. Jen told him he couldn’t have any more today or else he would turn into a blueberry. Without missing a beat he said: That’s whatContinue reading “No More Blueberries”
