Runaway Pumpkin Recap
Today at four months postpartum, I ran an 8k. This isn’t a huge distance; just under five miles. I set a goal for myself to do it in under ten-minute miles, and a secondary goal to do it in under an hour. I was […]
Officially A Soccer Mom – Ergobaby Omni 360 Review
When Micah was just a wee one in utero, I insisted on getting the Ergobaby carrier. Back then, I didn’t know any other fancy schmancy carriers even existed other than a few that were super cheap at Target, and the Ergo original. We spent the money, […]
I Hope My Daughters Are Cheerleaders
Okay, I feel like I should preface this with saying I don’t actually care if my daughters are cheerleaders. Of course I will encourage them in anything! (mostly) that they want to do. I just know a lot about cheerleading, and I think it’s really fun. Also […]

The Postpartum Return to Running
I like to think of myself as a “relate-able runner”. You know, someone who has done a couple of half-marathons but it inspires you in a way that’s like “If she can do it, I can do it too!” After I had Sophia, I started […]
Five Things Friday – September 8
HEY AGAIN! I’ve been totally M.I.A. lately. I’m exhausted and honestly, have been feeling a little down. I’m trying to snap out of it though! Because my favorite season is near, and I’ve already broken out my fall-scented candles (DONT BE A HATER), and I’ve […]
