My children have seen me working out, and have wanted to get in on the fun. I want them to start developing healthy, happy habits, but they weren't going to be able to "exercise" with my weights. I also don't want to worry about them building muscle at such a young age. So I set…

Wow! Has it been a long time since my last post. In July of 2015, I was really focusing on the blog. People were asking me to write reviews, I was looking at paid advertising, and my brother-in-law did a redesign for me. However, I soon had a feeling I needed to stop focusing so…

Now, I'm used to seeing Halloween decor come out after Labor Day, or even as early as Independence Day. But here it…

How do you prepare little children to get ready for a race of their own? A few months ago, I started training for a half marathon. Of course, I couldn't just leave my children at home alone, so they were blessed to come with me on a few training runs. I started training at the…

September 6 was another 5K I was planning on running, but this one was going to be different. My family had been on the sidelines watching me for all my other races. This time, they were joining me! For at least a month, Josh and I had planned on doing the Addict II Athlete 5K.…

There are so many ways that you can get some exercise in with your children. One of my favorite ones - dancing! It can be done any time, anywhere.

Ok, I know this post is a little behind the times - but life got hectic once November hit! It was written, and is finally being published for your enjoyment! Halloween has always been an interesting holiday for me. I've always had fun dressing up and going to parties, but don't even think of showing…
