I mentioned last week that I’m a contender in the #OxygenChallenge here’s the update! Week one was surprisingly great! The meal plan was given in advance which was really nice. I was able to prep before the week started. Unfortunately, for me, I did not prep well enough. My partner in crime and I had discussed starting on […]

Change comes from Challenge
Before I had kids, I was tone but not really fit because I liked to drink and didn’t eat clean. I ran for cardio and some times lifted tiny dumbbells. Because I always choose salad over pizza I thought I was more fit than most. After I had kids, nursing helped me get to an […]
Positivity Challenge – Fierce Forward Style
I’m pro positivity and have been for quite some time. It’s not an easy feat. In fact it’s a struggle sometimes but all the same it’s worth it. Well, my girl over at Fierce Forward is launching a Positivity Challenge that starts on July 15th. I am SO excited for this, you should head right […]
Unthink
I pride myself on thinking outside of the box. I’ve actually won quite a few contests by thinking just a tad different then everyone else. I like it and it’s fun! A few weeks ago I went to Dallas for a work conference. Going in I thought that it would be full of suits and […]
#bikeMS
Hello Lovlies! It’s been SUCH a long time since I’ve been able to just BE, let alone write! Sorry for the delay, I will get better at posting regularly I promise. For the last 4 months I’ve been hard core training for the MS 150 bike rally. The MS 150 ride started in Duluth Minnesota. […]
Goal begins with GO
“A goal without a plan is just a wish” someone said once. Let’s turn those wishes into actions! I challenge you to come up with 5 goals and use the summer season to complete them. They do not have to be super challenging but they do have to be something that makes you want to […]
Boys and Body Issues
I used to date this guy with some pretty MAJOR body issues. Like, I’ve slept with him a few times and haven’t ever seen him naked. Not. Even. Once. He was the skater type. Even on the hottest days he wore jeans, a hoodie skater shoes and a baseball cap. SOMETIMES I’d see him in […]

Mother’s Day Mayhem
On Mother’s Day I got to sleep in, I was served breakfast in bed with freshly squeezed orange juice and there was a vase of fresh picked flowers on the tray. It was amazing and I am totally lying. I’ve gotten to celebrate being a mother for five years now. Most of the years we’ve […]
Rocky
Some of my extended family is pretty eccentric. The particularly odd ones are VERY odd. It took me years to appreciate their uniqueness. When I was fourteen my parents went on their first vacation without us kids and out of the country. They packed their bags and headed to Mexico for what felt like an eternity. […]
Hot Chocolate 15K
Last Saturday I ran the Hot Chocolate 15K and I think it’s my favorite race of all. The fresh spring air detoxing your lungs from winters grasp, the course is beautiful taking your through the art district along the river in Minneapolis and they have chocolate treats along the way with a play / bounce […]
