Here’s a peek at how we spent our morning! I rushed us out of the house to make Henry’s gym class. Henry has two scheduled classes a week – music class on Mondays with Dad and gym class on Thursdays with Mom. We really like his gym class and were so excited to go. But [...]

Plus – win a pillow from Sleep Innovations. It snowed yesterday! Henry was SO excited to see snow, which isn’t super common in Charlotte. It snowed last year, but he was far too little to appreciate it. This year, I had to force him to come back inside because I knew his hands must’ve been [...]

Just popping in to say that this is the most amazing snack, ever. It’s a banana topped with sunflower butter, chocolate chips, and crumpled potato chips. Dude. Duuuuuude. So good. It’s a little bit of everything – kind of like this post! What did you do this weekend? My goal for 2014 is [...]

Remember the track workout from my gym that I posted a few weeks back? Well, I figured today was a good day to test it out. HOLY HELL. Let me repeat that. HOLY HELL. This was so, so hard. I was thrilled to make it to the 1-minute plank towards the end [...]
If this was right outside your window, would you go run on the treadmill? If the answer is yes, well – you are a stronger woman than I! But for me, the answer was a sunny, Pina Colada drenched NO. I ran once on our cruise vacation for a grand total of 2.0 miles, despite [...]
It’s going to be a busy Monday! However, the God of Work From Home Parents smiled down upon me, waved his magic wand, and Henry slept in. Coupled with the fact that I got up early, things are going swimmingly. I had enough time to navigate the jungle that sprang to life in my [...]
Dare I say that our last cruise day in St. Thomas was the very best? We found an amazing beach to sun, play, and relax at. There was even snorkeling – right off the sand! A man gave Henry a few dog biscuits, which drew in tons of tropical fish that ate right out of [...]
