Brent is shooting some children’s music videos today and tomorrow.  Like last year, I’ve been hired to do “crafts service”.  Like most normal people, I brought my kettlebells along and slipped away for a workout. While Brent was doing this… …I was  doing this. (Don’t tell him.) The Gym 12 kg Kettlebell 16 kg Kettlebell [...]

We kicked our camping season off this weekend with a trip up the coast with one of our homeschooling groups.  (For those who may be considering homeschooling and are concerned about “socialization”.   Don’t worry, in most towns, the opportunities to hang out with other kids and really get to know other families are endless.)

I know being sore is necessarily indicative of a good workout.  I don’t care.  I like being sore.  In fact, I LOVE being sore and I have a feeling that I’ll be sore tomorrow after today’s workout. I just did this workout this morning with my friend, Deb, aka, Smoothie Girl. Isn’t she cute.  If [...]

(Source) Good day dear readers!  (said in a horrible faux accent of unknown region) I hope you a restful weekend. The above picture would so be me and and I know some of you too!  Ha! Yesterday, Brent and I did this fun and fast workout.  We used kettlebells but you could easily modify it [...]

I was planning on finishing up Part 4 of my Climbing the Ladder Series:  (Tools to Keep Your Weekend Interesting) but while I love lists (that was one of my first and all time favorite posts btw) I’m just not “feeling” my scheduled post today.  Instead, I want to talk about the 10KChallenge I just completed [...]

This month I set out to complete the 10,000 swing challenge. This meant I “have to get  my swings in” be it the In-N-Out parking lot or rest stops. Never mind if people stared at me as if I was insane or I was embarrassing driving my family nuts. No siree. I won’t quit. The great [...]

Don’t tell anyone but I can be a little obsessive and what some might call a tad bit obnoxious. For instance, packing for our road trip across the desert to Arizona on Friday I insisted that we take all our veggies (including wilted dandelion greens) from the CSA despite knowing full well we wouldn’t eat [...]

I bought myself an early birthday present.  One that I’ve been debating on for months.   August 27-29 (my birthday weekend), I will be going to San Diego to have my azz handed to me for the RKC certification.  The RKC is known for being an extremely grueling certification. From everything I’ve read and heard it’s supposed [...]

My blog is not new but I’m new to “blogging”.  Let me explain.   I’ve been writing and silently reading a few other blogs for a while now.   Recently, with Janetha’s encouragement, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and interact with other bloggers.  Don’t roll your eyes.  It’s not easy when [...]

(Is it just me or does anyone else get ill looking at this picture?) It seems like everyone from celebrities to bloggers are talking about the kettlebells these days.  ;-)  Some have good advice others not so much but one thing everyone seems to be agreeing on is a kettlebell is one heck of a [...]
