Today I finally get to do a “little” something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, The Grouse Grind. It’s one of those outdoorsy things that I would daydream about while out on my long runs along with kayaking, yoga, cycling, rock climbing, skiing… all things I don’t have time for, things thatContinue reading “Grind It”

…Ain’t No Cure For The Summertime Blues
As much as I love summer and the opportunity to break with the monotony of schedules, the racing from one activity to another, the juggling, the “lets GO! everyone in the van!!” I am certainly finding, in terms of ” getting things done,” I thrive in that atmosphere, when there are a billion things to getContinue reading “…Ain’t No Cure For The Summertime Blues”
Who doesn’t love the dentist?
The only time I can get an appointment for all 5 kids to see the dentist at the same time (#6 doesn’t have to to see him yet but has to come along for the ride) is 8 o’clock in the morning… when booking the appointment it seems logical, because making multiple trips downtown isContinue reading “Who doesn’t love the dentist?”
She’s crafty… not.
I have always wanted to be a natural crafty kind of gal but it just ain’t happening. I came to terms with my non-crafty ways ages ago but every once in awhile I think maybe with the right amount of patience and a whole lot of heart I will overcome my awkwardness with a glueContinue reading “She’s crafty… not.”
The Slump
It’s official, I’m calling it, I am in a running slump… although it’s unclear as to whether I ever really hit my stride or got into any real groove after the marathon (2 months ago now- ooooo I’d hadn’t really thought about it being 2 months- a long time non?) I have just not beenContinue reading “The Slump”
Strep Throat
The weekend started off promising enough… Friday morning I went for an early morning 5 K- which was a treat as the Ol’ Man was home working on the house so I was able to slip out- and it went perfectly… NO knee pain- I was feeling very inspired and seeing as njb had justContinue reading “Strep Throat”
To Sleep Perchance To Dream…
This is a typical night in our household… I try, for the most part not to think about how ridiculous it is because really my sleep pattern has been basically like this for 16+ years but here’s a sample… 10 pm- I am pooped and desperately want to go to bed. 11 pm- if itContinue reading “To Sleep Perchance To Dream…”
Are We There yet?
Next time I tell you that I’m looking forward to spending 4 days in a hotel room with 6 kids slap me ‘k? No, really, I joke, a lovely time was had by all for the most part, except for the first night when I sliced open my hand on a wine glass thatContinue reading “Are We There yet?”
En Vacances
It’s here- summer officially starts for me today. School is done. Hip Hip Hooray. I’m usually enthusiastic about the whole thing for about 4 weeks- the last 4 weeks I spend dreaming of schedules and new school supplies (who doesn’t loooooove new school supplies?!) But for today I am happy not to be making lunchesContinue reading “En Vacances”

I really love this woman because she possess some key traits that I strive for (NOT easy!) and completely admire in other people; she’s upbeat and positive, humble, she doesn’t complain and not only does she believe in always having a goal but she reaches them!! True beauty I say. I only hope I canContinue reading “More about B.J. McHugh”
