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. This was never something that bothered me as a kid because I watched whatever episode happened to be on after school, but these days, when you sit…
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).

Life in pro baseball is hard to explain. Even when you’ve been around our family for years, it can be nearly impossible to grasp all the details and nuance of what we’re doing, why we live in multiple places every year, and how Jeff’s job works. Since opening day was yesterday, I thought it would be the perfect time to do an updated version of my FAQ posts. Here we…
I started researching diastasis recti when my kids were little and my core was incredibly weak. At the time I just wanted to heal so I could get back to what I loved, teaching fitness classes and generally doing whatever kind of workout I wanted to. This was back in 2012, and diastasis recti wasn’t on center stage like it is today. I had to do quite a bit of…
Over the weekend, I hosted the PTA Board for a little holiday get together. A few blissful hours where tired moms could eat, drink, and have an actual conversation without someone tugging on their shirt sleeves. As I was trying to decide what snacks and drinks to serve these distinguished guests, I asked my fellow dietitians for their suggestions. I got so many great ones to choose from that I…
