The Birth of Thing 2 – My Successful Vbac

April 9, 2014 in Life, Parenting

mama

So I’ve been eating pineapple and dates, walking, doing spinning babies exercises (don’t ask), and spent more time on my hands and knees these last few weeks than I have in my entire life. (I really should have invested in knee pads.) I’ve also turned in all my Go RVing assignments, written a few drafts […]

The Less Than Perfect Birth of My Perfect Baby, Thing 1 (and what I learned from my “emergency c-section”)

April 3, 2014 in Life, Parenting

appt

Still no baby here. My “due date” isn’t until April 5th so while I’m more than ready for his arrival and really uncomfortable I’m not worried. After all due dates are really just “guesstimates”. Babies come when they are ready not when they are “due”. As I’m preparing for the birth of Thing 3, I decided […]

Are you a “real” woman?

January 15, 2014 in Musings

when-did-this-become-hotter-than-this

We, as women, are bombarded every day with mixed messages. At the grocery store check out line we are told how to get flat abs, have better sex, and “perfect hair”. The ultimate message being we aren’t enough. Then we log onto Facebook and see our friends sharing images or articles with the message “Real […]

February 28, 2013 in Mental Health, Musings

Sunset Blind Pass Beach Manasota Key

It’s not often that I sit down and feel I need to write but tonight is one of those nights. On the first of this month, I wrote that I was going to take on a different kind of challenge, forgiveness.  Forgiveness February is what I called it. I had a series of posts I thought I’d […]

My Word of the Year: Movement

January 1, 2013 in Musings

Word of the Year

A few weeks ago, we visited a small church. As part of the service four tables or stations with reflective activities were set up around the room.  At one of the station there were thin slices of tree trunk on which we were invited to write a word of the year. I chose the word, […]

Lifted Spirits (and Kettlebells)

September 26, 2012 in Musings, Travel

Jamestown ND Kettlebell Workout

While I love exercising outside not having the option to exercise inside has been getting to me. As the weather changes my workout windows are getting smaller. It’s getting dark earlier and the mornings are getting cold. I’ve been trying hard not to complain because I realize getting to live in an RV and see […]

Movement Matters May – 10,000 Steps a Day Movement Challenge and the Health Benefits of Walking

May 1, 2012 in Challenges

Walking in Anastasia

May is the last full month of spring before summer “officially” kicks off with Memorial Day. Longer days make summer the perfect time for evening strolls. If you are like me (and most Americans) you could use a little more movement. This month in anticipation of my summer strolls (and if I’m honest, swimsuit season), I’m […]

My Mind the Enemy – A Family History of Cancer

March 29, 2012 in Musings

Sunset Blind Pass Beach Manasota Key

I remember being teenager and happily thinking that no one in my family had gotten cancer. I can remember going over each one of my aunts, uncles, and grandmas faces in my mind and confidently thinking “no cancer”. I may have to worry about tornados, sharks, and roller coasters getting stuck upside down but not […]
