This weekend was busy to say the least and I am not sure how single moms and dads do it.  I was without Melinda for less than 24 hours and it feel like I was going to die (maybe a slight exaggeration). Melinda was at Bloggy Bootcamp in Philadelphia Friday night and Saturday which left [...]

Last Minute Mother’s Day

Speaking from a mom’s perspective I’m going to say that gifts don’t need to be expensive or elaborate to be appreciated. Handmade Gifts are number one on my list but I’m never one to turn down a well thought out practical gift that I will love. Here’s a quick list of some last minute and [...]




On to Week 2

We use please and thank you when asking for things across the table and we try to stay seated until everyone is done. One thing that I really enforce [...]

Day 1 Down

running blogger, #couchto5k program,

I started changing my life. Yesterday Rob and I began our journey of #couchto5K. I did ok, not as well as Rob but then again I didn’t stretch enough nor did I drink enough water before we started running. My Achilles was aching and I got a cramp in my side. I stopped at about [...]

couch to 5k

I’m going to train to run a 5K. I got my weekly BlogHer ’12 Attendee newsletter and in it was news of a 5k Fun Run. I thought for a couple minutes about it, asked Twitterland their advice and it was all positive. I decided I’m going to start running. Rob is behind me and [...]
