This morning at the gym our strength portion was handstand push up (HSPU) work. Let me start by saying I’ve been CrossFitting for six years now and I still can’t do a damn strict HSPU. I’m not going to lie, this bothers the shit out of me, but considering I didn’t start doing anything even […]

Goal Achievement and Journaling
Hey! Remember me? The girl who blogged her way to a seventy-pound weight loss? Well, I’m back! Not in the same way, of course, lots of things have changed. Instead of being a new mom in her early thirties with a baby on her hands, I’m now a mid-forties mom of two boys, eight and […]
Remembering Texas
In 2012 I took my two boys on a day trip to Washington D.C. That trip sparked a yearly Mother-Sons adventure which has easily turned into my favorite tradition. It’s just us, a loose agenda and the open road. Most importantly, no other adults to make happy! I love my husband, and we have fun […]
Hello Blog, My Old Friend
I’ve come to talk with you again! Have I not posted since September 2018?! That’s insanity. I mean, I’ve been sharing on GreenLiteBites, but that’s not the same. I’m in desperate need of a good, old fashioned brain dumb, and I finally feel ready to do it. But first! My new blog digs. If you […]
First Week of Classes in the Books!
There I am on my first day of school as captured by the 7-Year-Old last week. I’m back in the classroom, teaching at the Community College and it feels like home. Prepping for my classes, finding new ways to present information, coming up with activities for class, I love it! The best part? I feel so […]
Pursuing Passions
I hinted in my previous post about some news, and I’m now ready to come clean. “Clean” isn’t the right word, but it feels a little like that since I’ve been keeping a few things to myself these last few months. Today is my last day as an Instructional Technologist at Peabody. This is my […]
4 Nights in Paradise
Guys, I take vacations seriously. Very seriously. It all started about 15 years ago with a road trip from Baltimore to Vegas with The Husband. Call me crazy, but I enjoyed every minute of that trip. Yes, even the part where I spent three days in a car. Driving cross-country, seeing Vegas light up the […]
Broken on my Birthday
This past Tuesday was my 42nd Birthday, and all I have to show for it is that damn boot. I dropped a 25lb plate on it at the gym that morning. At first, I thought it was fine, but a few hours later I couldn’t put any weight on it. Two days later the bruise […]
Brain-Dumping from the Beach
This is going to be a braindump of epic proportions. It’s been nearly two months since I posted! A record for me, for sure. Not that I was consciously trying to set a record or anything. I’ve just had so much going on and blogging, unfortunately, has been at the bottom of my priorities list. I think […]
Baby Stepping All The Things!
Remember that one time I published a book about how little things add up to big things and you should simply do What You Can When You Can? The hashtag (#wycwyc) may never have caught on the way I hoped, but I’m still “wycwyc’ing” my way to my goals. At the Gym… This morning I finally hit […]
