Here it is: the first of my recaps on our recent Disney and Florida vacation. As a Disney newbie, figuring out which parks to hit when was really overwhelming. Could I do two parks in one day? Would I need to take Mimi back to nap? Which parks has extended “magic” hours and which ones […]

James Joyce Ramble 10K Recap (Birthday Edition)
We did it! I finished my 3rd James Joyce Ramble yesterday! I have a soft spot in my heart for this particular race. It’s one of the only races Dr. G. and I can run together, due to kiddo logistics. It’s also the very first race we ever ran together, back in 2002, when I finished […]

Favorite Things Friday: Albion Fit (Review and Giveaway!)
I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time finding workout shirts that I like. The tight compression-style shirts hug my rolls curves a little too much and just make me feel uncomfortable.
