For the first time in a long time, I have been consistently working out for an extended period of time. I am gaining strength, flexibility, and energy. My clothes fit better, my muscles are more defined, and I was actually looking forward to trying on swimsuits this spring. Then I walked into the dressing room. You know, the one with the fluorescent lights and the side mirrors. The dressing room…
Since arriving in Arizona last week, we have quickly settled into a routine of homeschooling, pool time, enjoying the outdoors, and most importantly, reconnecting with friends. And while I have all kinds of ideas swirling around in my brain about the future of this blog, I’m realizing it’s going to take a lot of behind-the-scenes work to get there.

We stayed home for Christmas this year. No traveling meant no nasty sick bugs, and for the first time in a long time we had a peaceful and healthy Christmas. With Spring Training on the horizon, we are soaking up our final month of rest with lots of family time, extra sleep and home-cooked meals. Things are about to get crazy in our world, but for now I am giving…
As I ponder a few goals for this year and try to decide on my One Word, I started working on a “More and Less” list. Things I want to do more of and things I want to let go of a little.
