Our kids need us. They don’t want to see the tops of our heads any more. This was made so incredibly apparent at Lili’s gymnastics camp today. While being away at BlogHer for 5 day (yes…..5 days away from my little ladies and my man!!!), I thought during her camp would be a good time […]
it’s been 6 years and i still cry…
I can’t believe it, but it has been six years since my Grandpa passed away. As I sit here, I have a huge lump in my throat, ready to start balling at the drop of a hat. My Grandpa was an amazing man. He was a Godly man and I was so incredibly thankful that […]

I am working with this wonderful shop (AdoraBelleDesign on Etsy – GO LOOK!) […]
life is short, what are you doing to get the most of it?
GOSH. Lately I have been receiving these reminders on just HOW short life is. 🙁 it really stinks. nope, it sucks. I can’t tell you the amount of stories I am hearing of people being diagnosed with cancer. More than one unexpected death with people I know, marriages ending…dreams being lost. Dream. Why not! Get […]
a road trip? soon….
My Lili is now 6 years old. Man has the time flown. She is discovering and learning so much every single day. I’ve never felt so close to her but at times have never felt so far away. With the hustle and bustle of our life, I feel that sometimes I look to her as […]
i’m buying some mace!
(forgive me, my period button is broke on my keyboard) I’ve talked about it for a while now, but the time has come I read today on Another Mother Runner about a young mom of 3 (pregnant with her 4th) being brutally killed on a run You can read what I read HERE It’s horrible! […]
i was bit by a dog but keep going back running…
Well not physically chased, but none the less…chased. Every time I go for a run, there are dogs barking everywhere. I am so on edge during my runs that I feel the snapping of a twig makes me thing a huge Rottweiler is on my heels ready to take my leg off. But every time […]
it’s mother’s day, i’m getting sappy as usual – here’s a generational picture.
Today was Mother’s Day. I love Mother’s Day. Not only because it’s the day of the year that I can fully justify every whim I might have, but it’s a wonderful day to celebrate my Mom and my Grandmothers. I am totally blessed to have them all in my life. I have both of my […]
my first 25k run – a goal I reached and a personal record!
Today my facebook feed is filled with people’s excitement over finishing the Fifth Third River Bank Run. I “almost” ran the 10K this morning – and would have if I didn’t have this darn cold! Looking at everyone’s results got me to thinking about mine when I ran it for the first time. I trained […]
Coming out…
Well here in the blogosphere, nothing is official until it’s on your blog. So, let’s make this blog official. I said goodbye to this, this morning: And I said hello to this: Yah, she is pretty. She is CONVENIENT. (This is in uppers because it’s a joke between Mike and I. Anyone that we talked […]
when is knowing too much, too much?
I believe I am at that point when it comes to food. I know just enough to be dangerous. 🙂 I am not a pro. I like to provide healthy food for my family but with all the “ideas” out there, how do you know what is best? Go organic? Go “all-natural”” And the list […]
bible study in public school {project 365 :: 87/365}
Lili attends Bible Study at her school every week, one day after school. This week I got there early to pick her up and got to witness this. The balloon represented Jesus rising from the grave and going to heaven. Amazing. The kids loved it and I loved seeing. I love hearing the stories of […]
