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]
The Hip Bone’s Connected to the…

Acceptance Doesn’t Mean You’re Settling
Hi guys! I’m waving at you from the basement of my in-laws, which is where we STILL are. There has been no real progress on the house front I’m sad to say. It’s been two months.

Hold Please…
Unsettled. Lost. Directionless. All the feelings I’m feeling right now. Between being homeless (read about that here) and being injured, I don’t even know what to do with myself. You’ve been asking what the status is on all this so I’m finally sitting down to fill you in….sadly this won’t take long. Situation: Homeless First… [Read More]
Stonyfield, Smoothies and Amy Rodriguez
So remember when I introduced you to Stonyfield Organics (the brand you’ve known for 30 years) and Amy Rodriguez (the super amazing USA soccer player and mom)? She and I had a chance to talk on the phone about kids nutrition and the challenge that is getting healthy, feel-good foods into their little bodies. In… [Read More]
The Weekend From Hell
Everyone says: It takes a hole to make a mountain And that’s never been more true for us than it was this weekend. Since September, we’ve been working on purchasing a home.
