I know the difference between an excavator, a loader and a backhoe. I can spot a construction vehicle anywhere. I can drum “The Mighty Machines” theme song perfectly. I also know (off by heart) the names and drivers of all the major Monster Trucks. I would cheer with my son as Maximum Destruction would beat … Continue reading

20 is the new 10
I haven’t blogged in over a month! It’s “scandalous “! Actually it is literally a scandal…. I’ve developed a little Scandal addiction on Netflix. Anytime I’m on my iPad, I’m watching Scandal and not blogging! I’ve been pretty committed to Olivia Pope and Fitz- blowing through 4 seasons in record time. I’ve noticed that about … Continue reading
Take Me Out to the Ballgame
I love softball. The crack of the bat. The sound of the ball hitting the leather glove. Sitting in the stands, laughing with the other parents- cheering on our sons. I love “swing batter batter swing batter”. I love the warm summer breeze. I love the general slowness of the game. But… I hate … Continue reading

I try to eat organic (if it’s not too expensive), a variety of fruits and veggies, only natural sugars, and I read labels (actually I don’t read that many labels since I rarely buy prepackaged food). I am pretty regimented about what goes in my body … Continue reading
I Have the Secret Cure for Lack of Motivation!
No drive. No get up and go. Lack of motivation. No mojo! That’s been me for the last three weeks! Me! I know! Weird eh? I have been forcing myself to go to the gym. When I was sick last week, I was all too happy to stay home. This was totally un chartered territory … Continue reading
Awake
I had a major life style change in February and since then I have struggled to put into words how I feel now. I feel so different now. I follow a Clean eating approach to my diet and I exercise pretty much everyday. This new life style obviously has changed my physical appearance- quite dramatically … Continue reading
I Did The Stupidest Thing Ever- Again!
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and accurately see what I was thinking at a moment in time. Right now I can only try to remember and hope that I am remembering accurately. I would love to know what my thoughts were like a year ago- before I started eating clean and … Continue reading
