I’m not writing this post to bash on Great Wolf Lodge. After all, any time or place, where thousands of people congregate, is going to have germs. So this post isn’t a “bash” type post. I am not claiming that the company did or didn’t do something that caused us to get sick. But the … Read more
All parents should volunteer at their kids’ school. I know most parents are SUPER busy, and volunteering at the place where they send their kids so that they can get all their other stuff done seems like an unnecessary burden. But here’s the thing. When you are in your kids’ school on a weekly (or … Read more

But just because I am blessed doesn’t mean that I don’t have hard times. I’ve been pushing hard lately to keep my head up, and to be pushing towards my … Read more

I thought that we’d both enjoy tracking our activity, since we were both chained to desks at the time with professional jobs. I had been struggling to get started on the post-baby weight loss journey, and I … Read more
