I’m not sure this photo really does the feeling of spilled green juice justice. That glass was FULL moments before that picture was taken. The only thing I can compare spilling about 8 oz of fresh vegetable juice to would be spilling a 4 oz bottle of expressed breast milk all over your desk and [...]

Yesterday a fun package came in the mail. Oooo I love packages! So what’s inside, what’s inside!? Why it’s a book! Have you read Intuitive Eating? It quite literally saved my sanity early this year when I was having a tough time with food. I’ve never really had a difficult relationship with food. I’ve never [...]

A Saturday full of non-stop action! I woke up this morning to a balmy 47 degrees (I hope you picked up on my sarcasm there) and decided to post pone my bike ride for this afternoon when it was a bit warmer. Instead I warmed my hands with a pot of green tea. And warmed [...]

Who doesn’t want a little AliSUN in their day? Anyone who doesn’t read this blog, apparently. I ran to the soothing sounds of having New Moon read to me. Finally someone who reads TO ME! I set out to run 5 miles and was back in about 40 minutes. I was ready to be done [...]

Ava loves to ask what she’ll be able to do when she’s X years old. What can she do when she’s 7? How old does she have to be to drive a car? How old will Maxine be when she’s 9? How old does Mommy think she is eating all those prunes? Today in the [...]

I was on the fence about running this morning since I ran yesterday, but then it was decided for me when Maxine woke up early. I spent the time getting caught up with all things house and life instead. It’s amazing how just straying from the norm for a few days throws everything out of [...]

Immediately after I hit Publish this morning we were off for a homeschooling meet up with some friends at a playground. Do you remember being a kid and running without wondering when it was time to stop? Running to try and catch a bird or running like you were being chased by a monster in [...]

A whirlwind day yesterday with so much going on, thank you all for all the birthday wishes for my baby girl! After Maxine opened her gifts from us in the morning I got started on her cake. I used a chocolate cake recipe I’ve used in the past. Dark Chocolate Cake 2 c boiling water [...]

Today is Ms. Maxine’s birthday – my “baby” is THREE! I woke up just before 5:00 today and swapped out today’s a work out for gift wrapping and decorating. I love the kids birthday’s so much – I find so much joy celebrating the day of their births. They are without a doubt my two [...]
