Back in March when the professional baseball season was suspended and my husband (who is a professional baseball coach) was sent home from Spring Training to ride out this “Coronavirus thing,” we anticipated 2–3 weeks of interrupted life. As we hung out in Texas, somewhat enjoying our little quarantine vacation, I thought for sure we would be sending him back to Arizona in no time. Then 2020 became, well, 2020.…
Last summer, Leila and I did an at-home workout program together. We had a blast encouraging each other and giggling over our lack of flexibility. At the end of the program, we were stronger and bonded together in a new way. When COVID shut the world down this spring, and we were literally stuck at home, I started doing Peloton workouts every day. (We don’t have a Peloton bike, we…
I want to tell you about why we love Revolution Math and how you can get 30 days of math tutoring for only $5. When I heard about Revolution Math, it was in the middle of our Covid homeschooling adventure. I was looking to get a little more help with math for our 5th grade daughter and thought this might be an interesting online option. When I found out that…
Have you ever tried to watch Saved by the Bell in the correct order? While you can get all of the episodes on Hulu, it’s pretty obvious once you start watching that time is jumping around and chronologically it doesn’t make much sense.

Dear Younger Me, Moisturize your neck. Relax. 99% of what you’re worrying about will never happen. Wear sunscreen. Talk less, listen more. 5 weeks of unlimited tanning for $35 is NOT a good deal. Jesus loves you. Revel in the energy you have to be able to run 5 miles at cross country and go straight to a 2 hour soccer practice. Choose friends over boyfriends. Bangs are never a…
“Let me know if I can do anything for you.” How many times have you said that and meant it? I know I have – too many times to count. How many times has that person come back to you in their time of need and told you exactly what you can do and how to help? Mmmm…probably close to zero times. Last night I posted a little note on…
Eight years ago, my husband was coaching in the Arizona League (rookie ball). We lived in Arizona full time, and our kids loved running around at Dad’s games on the grass of the backfields of Salt River. Life was good…except I was sick…and we didn’t know why. My hair was falling out, I was so bloated I looked pregnant, my stomach was always in knots, and I couldn’t keep my…
