Balance

Last week, after my Tuesday night yoga class, I was complimented on my balance.  The woman who complimented me ( a friend of mine) said that she was watching me during class and I have great balance.  I was elated. But it got me thinking… Everyone that practices yoga is, for the most part aware, that […]

Boys will be boys…

My mom has been telling me for weeks that my boys are BRATS.  She tells me this daily and she also says that I’m going to be in big trouble if I don’t do something now. I have two healthy boys full of energy and spunk.  Bash (5) is smart, caring & dramatic.  Lij (3) […]

Shipwrecked

Our family operates like a sailboat.  My husband is the sails, my oldest the waters on which we move, my youngest the crew and I’m the boat. When my husband isn’t feeling well it’s like the sails aren’t up.  We’re still afloat and surviving just not moving that quick.  When my youngest is sick he […]

National Dog Day

In honor of National dog day I thought I’d share a story of my beloved pooches. I’ve always been a dog person.  Since I was a baby I’ve always had a dog by my side.  My parents bought a dog that was born a week later than I and we shared my crib.  As the […]

Stop Bullying

A friend of mine got to pick her son up from the rehab facility at a local hospital this weekend.  He wasn’t in for drugs or drinking, like one would imagine, but for depression and an almost attempted suicide.  Being the happy-go-lucky type my friend’s kid put on his happy face and went about his days even though […]

Solidcore

Today, on my way to a Solidcore fitness class, I realized I’ve never fully emerged myself into the fitness community.  I’ve lightly worked out for the majority of my life.  My parents had a weight bench and some other weight training items in the basement, that they NEVER used.  I used them but didn’t didn’t really […]

#truth

There are Fit chicks and skinny chicks, they are very different.  The other day a friend of mine and I ran into a super fit chick.  It was during a yoga in the park session and this girl wasn’t overly flexible but her muscles were SO toned.  After the yoga session my friend and I […]

What’s SUP?

Yesterday I tried my first ever SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) and because I’m kind of a “Go Big, or Go Home” person I entered a race without ever being on a board before.  Granted the race I entered was only a 1.5K but I thought that would be far enough considering I wasn’t sure […]

Tracks

I can’t remember the first time I put a penny on a set of train tracks, waited for a train to run it over and then went back to find it.  I don’t remember where we were or how old I was but I know my dad is the one that took me. Every time we go up […]

The Hens

The other day my kids were trying to tell me something and I only half paid attention.  As soon as they were done and I realized I didn’t really hear what they were dying to tell me guilt set in.  I tried to get them to tell me again but the second time around is […]
