I've been practicing yoga for a while now. Not a terribly long time, but for me (a person who chronically gives up on sports) it's been something I've stuck with almost as long as I did cheerleading. It's been about six years I think (I was a cheerleader for ten years). Yoga has been something … Continue reading On falling out of trees…

On learning to change…
I'd probably never use the word "addict" to describe myself. Even at my worst (which was when I was in my early-20s), when I was engaging in seriously questionable behavior and activities, I never would have said I was an addict. I say this because while I have a very malleable personality, when I'm doing doing … Continue reading On learning to change…
On fighting the fight…
I'm still at a loss today. I was hoping that a good sleep would help me wake up refreshed and ready to face a new day. Well, the sleep didn't come. I woke up in the middle of the night and actually thought, "This has to be a joke." Sadly, it is not. I'm still … Continue reading On fighting the fight…
On losing my luster…
"If you could say one thing to Hillary Clinton today, what would it be?" What about all the things I'm going to have to say to my daughters? - What a time to be alive! - What a time to be a woman! - What a time to raise daughters! None of these things have … Continue reading On losing my luster…
On reliving the past…
"If you could redo one moment in your life, what would it be and why? How would it change who you are now?" I don't particularly like looking back on life and wondering how mine could be different if I'd have made choice B over choice A. There are certain things I wish I'd have … Continue reading On reliving the past…
On ruining a meal…
When it comes to cooking, I don't fail often. Part of that stems from the fact that I'm not terribly adventurous in the kitchen. I'm a far braver baker than cook. So when I fail at cooking, I fail hard. There are a few instances I can choose from...the time I set my oven on fire … Continue reading On ruining a meal…
Sunday Brain Dump
This month, I'm going to use Sundays as brain dumb days. I don't even have the energy to come up with a marginally clever title. If I find something of importance or value to say, I will. If I don't, that's fine, too. Sometimes it's nice to just ramble. I'm 22 weeks pregnant right now … Continue reading Sunday Brain Dump
On living in glitter…
When my husband and I started thinking about decor and a theme for our first daughter's nursery/bedroom, we knew we wanted something smart and clever that wasn't too girly. We came up with books and "girl power" quotes. I scoured the interwebs and Pinterest and queried friends for their favorites. There were a LOT to choose from. … Continue reading On living in glitter…
On things that define me…
It's far enough past Halloween that I don't feel (too) guilty for writing about Christmas. Traditionally speaking, I don't let myself listen to Christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving. Every holiday deserves it's own space and, for some reason, waiting until after Thanksgiving makes Christmas seem even more special to me. But this morning, … Continue reading On things that define me…
On knowing when to speak…
I don't believe this. Not for one second. I used to think honesty was the best policy, but then I had some really painful, really honest things happen to me and I just can't get on board with this anymore. There are just some times when honesty isn't going to do anyone any good. Sure, … Continue reading On knowing when to speak…
