Stonyfield Fuels My Life Marathon {#StonyfieldSuperFan}

I received Stonyfield products in exchange for my review. All opinions expressed are my own. Running and losing weight  have become a big part of my quest to stay healthy. With active boys, a marathon-running husband, my life can get a bit hectic. Having healthy snacks and breakfast options means thinking of things that are nutritious, but also fast. Stonyfield Greek… View Post

Rub-a-Dub Dub, Live Clean (Baby) in the Tub {Review}

We received a combination pack of washes and bubble baths to try. All opinions and silly bathtub smiles are our own. With two boys and a big yard, we are no strangers to dirt. Now that the weather’s warmed up, we have dirt permanently caked underneath fingernails and lots of grass-stained knees to combat. I think often about what we… View Post

Sacrifice {Treadmill Tuesdays – Week 17}

Week 16 || Four Month Update On this week of eternal sacrifice, I’ve thought often of that word. What does it mean to sacrifice? Sometimes, I have to get up earlier than the sun to run. Sometimes, I have to drown out the sounds of Doc McStuffins. I do laundry more often because of sweaty clothes. Some days, I have… View Post

Perseverance {Four Month Update}

 Month 1 ||  Month 2 || Month 3 Perseverance: The greater the obstacle, the greater the glory in overcoming it. Four months ago, if you had told me I’d be standing here actually feeling good about how I looked and put myself together, I wouldn’t have believed you. But with the weather warming and the proverbial layers shedding, I’m finally feeling more… View Post

First Park Trip of the Season

Spring official sprang on Monday with temperatures in the 60s and the sun shining down! The boys requested a bike ride and I never thought we’d make it all the way to the park (about a mile round trip), but we did! And so off we went on our adventure… Nothing is quite as lovely as the first trip up… View Post

Spring is SPRINGING! {Treadmill Tuesdays – Week 16}

Week 14 || Week 15 Hurrah! Spring has finally arrived and we couldn’t be more delighted. Three bike rides so far, including one, all the way to the park (about a mile) and running around, jumping, playing, laughing. Exercise this week included running (duh!), a killer Spartan circuit with my bro, wallyball, and manual labor at a Habitat for Humanity… View Post

Mustela Skin Care {Review}

I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Mustela. I received product samples to facilitate to my review and to thank me for participating. With sensitive skin myself, I knew for sure that my kids would most likely deal with the same issues and concerns. From skin rashes to especially dry skin, we have dealt with a wide-variety… View Post

New Kicks & Renegade Burpees {Treadmill Tuesdays – Week 15}

Week 14 || Week 13 Happy TUESDAY! The picture for this post was actually labeled Week 14 until I realized that we were already FIFTEEN weeks down! Can you believe I’ve been at this for almost four months? So happy to be sticking with it and making progress! This week, I battled some sinus issues and pushed through some fatigue…. View Post

Eat Mindfully! {Treadmill Tuesdays – Week 14}

Week 13 || Three Month Update This past week was crazy! Two out-of-town trips, some colds, a sinus infection, and being supremely busy meant I had to work hard to find time and energy to run. When I really didn’t feel like I could push myself, I focused a TON on what I was eating in order to ensure that… View Post
