Flying by the Seat of My Race Calendar
It’s almost June…where did the year go? Oh yeah, the first half of my year was basically stuck in a storage container. 🙂 Either way, we’re settling in to living our lives as a family unit. We’re trying to find our routine and schedules and it’s starting to feel a little more “normal” or whatever… [Read More]
Taking the First Step Towards a Healthy Home with Rottler Pest Control
Rottler provided service in kind for the post but all opinions are my own. I know what you’re thinking…this is WAY out of the realm of this blog let me tie it together for you. I’m a healthy living blogger that until a week ago was homeless (read the story). Becoming a home owner again… [Read More]
The Nightmare is over…How It Happened
If you’ve been following my Instagram, you know by now we finally found a house and an amazing one at that! What I didn’t share with you yet is how it happened. Mainly because I was scared that I would jinx it somehow. Every step of the process was agonizing and exciting and I worried… [Read More]

LA Marathon Weekend And The Race That Wasn’t Supposed To Happen
I have so many thoughts I’m struggling with where to start this post. Do I start with the experience? Do I start with the emotional story that was the build up to it? Do I go right. Into a blow by blow of the events? I’m still processing it all but I’m on the plane… [Read More]

We Ran Away
A couple weeks ago my 7 year old son (E, the original running buddy) says to me on the way to school… “Mom, the people that bought our house are so lucky.” Fearing his answer I took the bait… “Why E?” He replies…”Because they don’t have to go through all this pain” CRUSHED. I was… [Read More]
Getting Local with Big River Running
Guys….I’ve been running. My longest is only 5 miles but it’s better than nothing. It’s amazing how much endurance I’ve lost. My knee is still not 100% and I’m afraid it’s just my new normal. But I guess after a few months of looking for a cause, I’ve finally started to come around to modifying… [Read More]
