12 month photo project is a challenge started by Tara Whitney. Here’s what you do: Take a photo of your family once a month. Write a few things about that month. Make it into a book at the end of the year. Aha! It’s April 30, which means yet again I waited until the last day to take [...]

I just booked a flight to New York to spend a weekend in September crossing off # 8 from my 30 before 30: Have a Girls’ Getaway Weekend. I am super excited to visit these three beauties: Along with this super fabulous chick (who doesn’t know the other girls… yet ).
Drum roll please….

I’ve made my goal weight!! This next one reminds me of a high school senior photo and had Jon and I both laughing when we took it. It’s been 10.5 months, but I finally made it! I had a range of 10 pounds (doable, desired and ultimate) and figured I’d most like barely reach the [...]

I mention some time back, that our kitchen is a galley style and we have a desire to one day remodel. While there are numerous things we love about the kitchen (window over the sink, large windows by the dining table, character, etc) we really don’t like how it feels small. Last night we decided [...]

Over the weekend, we got Julia a tricycle from our friends, the Cramers (thanks again Dana!). She has been talking about it non-stop since we picked it up. As for me, the trike is proving just one more lesson in patience, since apparently kids aren’t born with the ability to pedal and it’s up to [...]

Jonathan and I have a wonderful opportunity to have regular date nights. Typically we go out to eat, maybe grab a fancy dessert, have a few beers or the like. This week we decided to “spice” things up. No, not like that. This week we went to play racquetball and go swimming. Let me tell [...]

Today is Earth Day and for the last three days the girls and I have been prepping our garden and planting flowers and veggies. It has been a blast! There can’t be anything more fun than playing in dirt and water with little kids. I think Hannah has had a mud mustache since Tuesday. The [...]

Yesterday I took the girls for a walk to Jonathan’s work. It’s two blocks from our house and we cut through some apartments and the library parking lot, making it not necessary to take the stroller. I strapped Hannah in the mei tai and let Julia hold Jack’s leash. We had to cross a large [...]

I completed my half marathon yesterday. Whew. It was intense. I’m glad I did it and I’m glad I’m done. My original goal was to run in the Drake Relays in Des Moines which take place next weekend. But, between traveling with the girls and Jonathan starting a new MBA class that weekend, it just [...]

Or die trying. I don’t actually think I will die. But, I will say this, I am really looking forward to my run being completed. I have thoroughly enjoyed running and pushing myself beyond what I thought I was capable, but at some point I’ve started to lose steam. I wasn’t able to complete my run on [...]
