I love the Oscars. I can do without the other award shows, but the Oscars are a tradition. The dresses, the jewelry, the hairdos. It’s all over the top and I love it. And every year there are some knock out styles. 1. Penelope Cruz – I’m not a huge Penelope fan, but I’d be [...]

Yesterday I completed the Austin Half Marathon. I have to say this was my best race yet. I wasn’t as nervous as last year, as I knew what to expect. Though, I will say, like child birth, you forget how killer the hills are. About 2 miles in I remembered why this part of [...]

{photo credit} I’m in the final days of training for the half marathon on Sunday. Is it just me, or have the last 8 weeks gone by really fast? Whew. It’s been a good training time with some lessons learned. One of those lessons being – after your third baby, your badder just ain’t what [...]

{photo credit :: cassette couture} Have you ever seen this Mickey Mouse? Turns out, it’s not Mickey, but a Canadian DJ and producer, stage named deadmau5 {pronounced “dead mouse”}. Jonathan was flabbergasted that I’d never heard of deadmau5, cause apparently when it comes to electro/house music, deadmau5 is the mouse guy. I always swore [...]

This past weekend, I ran in the Color Run. It rained, for days, before the race. Which left the grass track muddy and wet. And after a week of 70*, Saturday started off frigid. Overall, the race was fun, but there were some definite set backs. Turns out, running in ankle deep thick mud is [...]

A few weeks back, my legs were killing me after a long run. My shins hurt, my calves were sore and I started looking for some relief. I started off with some good stretches, followed by ice packs to reduce any swelling. And then I took a big plunge. I bought compression socks {doesn’t that [...]

Something I love about people is that everyone is unique. Even when we’re in that awkward middle school lemming phase of life, we still have an imprint all to ourselves. And those people who embrace their unique qualities are just beautiful. I wanted to share with you some uniqueness of my own. 1. I’m really [...]

This weekend, after nearly five years of service, we sold our minivan The Great White. For the last year or so, we’ve been considering the possibility of retiring Great White for a newer model. Being 14 years old, Great White has seen better days and is starting to cost more than she’s worth. Last summer, [...]

Yesterday was Hannah’s first day of preschool. She started the two-days a week program at the same church where Julia has been going since last fall. Since Julia started “school” Hannah has been talking about going non-stop. While we do educational things at home when Julia is gone, I’ve certainly dropped the teacher ball after [...]
