Half marathon number 6 — the Smuttynose Rockfest — is officially four weeks away. Cue the nerves and excitement. I will say training has been going pretty well so far. I’ve been averaging around 20-22 miles per week, and am up to 12 miles on my long run. I am also doing a couple of […]
Back to School with OshKosh B’gosh
I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’gosh. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Happy August, friends! I cannot believe the kids head back to school in less than a month. Seriously, I can’t wrap my brain around it. This summer felt particularly short, […]

Know how sometimes fate is looking out for you? […]

I was feeling bloated and sluggish and blahhh after a long winter hunkered down at home in a vitamin D-deprived fog, from which I emerged about 5 very stubborn pounds heavier then when I started. […]
My Toyota Sienna Experience #SiennaSundayFunday
I’ve never considered myself a “minivan” type. Even after having two kids, I scoffed at minivans, saying I could never see myself behind the wheel of one, that driving one would cement my status as a full-on soccer mom. And then the team at Toyota USA graciously offered to let us test drive the 2015 […]
