Thirty-three year old wife, mother, runner and wannabe renaissance woman striving to look and feel even BETTER than she did before babies.
Sorry, but there are no tweets right now.
When I run, I’m super finicky. All equipment must be secured properly….there can’t be any loose iPod wires. No loose running pants that I have to constantly yank back up. And there must absolutely, positively be no untied shoelaces! Which usually means I have to spend a great deal of time before my run [...]
Truth be told, I’m a snacker. I seldom have a ton of snacky food in my house because late at night, I have NO willpower. At all. Last month, I was contacted by Crunchmaster to sample their new line of crackers aimed at children – Grammy Crisps and Cheezy Crisps. Two of my favorite flavors! [...]
Talents. We all have them. Big and small. Normal and totally bizarre. I have a talent that I’m pretty sure is a univeral mom talent. A malent? Er. Like many of you, I do not have a dumbwaiter or a escalator or a husband or a manservant that is always around to bring my groceries [...]

It’s so refreshing to be writing up a Toot Your Horn post and actually feel I have something to toot about! I’m actually rather proud of myself. It’s January 8 and I have been religiously watching my food intake and exercising since January 1. Yes, I know that most New Year’s resolutions go by the [...]
Bread. Not the first thing I usually reach for when I’m eating healthy. Don’t get me wrong. I love bread. I adore it. But for as long as I can remember it’s been a diet no-no. When did bread become the devil, anyway? Honestly, bread can and should be part of a balanced diet. But the [...]
Whole grains. We all know they are good for you. But do you know exactly what whole grains are, how to prepare them, and how many different varieties there are? No? Well, never fear. I’m here to give you the lowdown. First of all, what exactly makes a grain whole? To be considered a whole [...]
Ack! Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Heather and I’m a disorganized mess today. That’s why this post is so late. No excuses, except I’m just a whirlwind of forgetfulness! Moving on… How did you do this week? Are you maintaining? Losing, even? Are the holidays getting to you or are you keeping your cool? [...]
The Holidays are here and so are the parties. Work parties, soirees with friends, family gatherings. Chances are, you’ll be navigating not only obscene amounts of appetizers, cookies, candy, but you’ll also be enjoying some alcoholic beverages. Booze adds up, guys. Quickly. A few drinks and you can totally blow your calorie intake for the [...]
Thanksgiving is over – know what that means? We’re in full on holiday mode. Meaning lots of food, lots of stress and super crazy schedules. Or is that just me? Sigh. Holiday stress + ample amounts of delicious treats = me eating my feelings. Not a good equation, y’all. Not good at all. What I’ve [...]
Why hello there! How are you this fine Tuesday morning? It’s that day where we become our own cheerleader…shout our victories from the rooftops…it’s Toot Your Horn Tuesday! Now, you may be a little down in the dumps and saying ‘But Heather, I have NOTHING to toot about.’ To that I say…poppycock! Yes, I said [...]
Pizza. I absolutely adore pizza. I could eat it at least every other day. Okay. Every single day. Ahem. In theory, pizza could be a pretty healthy food. Grains (the crust), dairy (cheese) and veggies. But *that* pizza? It’s something I talk about, then I end up eating a greasy slice of pepperoni and olive. [...]
It’s Halloween and if you’ve got kids, it means your little ghosts and goblins are probably getting all dressed up tonight and will return with a ridiculous amount of candy. Sugar is the last thing I want my kids to have in unlimited supply…so I’ve got to be mean mommy and confiscate most of the [...]
I wrote this a couple of years ago and it is really striking a chord with me. Especially today, when I’m up to my eyeballs in stuff to do and feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. I hope it motivates you too! Visualize success and it will be yours! ****** Since I was a little [...]
It’s Tuesday and I’m ready to TOOOOOT! It’s Toot Your Horn Tuesday, y’all! This week, I’m not here to talk about how much running I’ve been doing nonexistent or that my eating habits have been pristine notevenclose. No, I want to toot about something else. Something that I feel really good about, that is helping [...]
