I’ve been up since 7 am. Dogs out. Make coffee. Kids breakfast. My breakfast. Make husband’s lunch. Playtime for kiddos while I organize/clean garage. Nap for the babe. Five loads of laundry (three year old had an accident last night), washed, dried, folded, put away. Beds made. Load the kids in the car. Haircut for [...]

We’ve been really into trying new things in our household this summer. So much so that we sometimes have trouble keeping up with what’s next. A huge part of that always behind feeling has to do with having kids, as any other parent will surely attest … they’re always running around wanting to do something. [...]

As the last school bell rang this month, ushering out the 2010-2011 school year, kids everywhere jumped for joy at the sudden freedom that comes with summer break. If their moms were anything like me, their first thought was “Let the juggling begin!” One of the hardest parts of summer break for me is finding [...]

Whether or not the weather where you live is complying (it’s not here, FYI), Summer has finally arrived! Summer, for many of us, means the kids are at home and out of school (and probably BOOOORRRREEED) and you either don’t want to go to the gym or work out cause you don’t have time [...]

This past Sunday, I completed my third half-marathon. I am not a runner, nor do I really care if I ever am. Some may say it’s their legs that get them through long races, I say it’s my heart. I didn’t quite train as much as I had intended, funny how life gets in your [...]

*See the winner below in comments! You may or may not have heard me on Twitter professing my love for Pirate Brands Pirate’s Booty in the last few months. Seriously. I love the stuff. So does my husband, my kids, and even my dog! There are a few flavors I don’t care for all that [...]

Instead of: Grabbing fast food or take-out when you’re rushed and don’t have time to cook dinner, Try: Picking up a rotisserie chicken and cooking frozen veggies you’ve been keeping on hand. [...]

Fortunately, I can usually carve out kid free time to work out, be it during nap time, or in the evening after my son goes to bed. My husband is really great about letting me run off to the gym for a few hours in the evening (thanks, honey!). But, there are days where my [...]

It’s summer and summer is FUN! Right? The kids are home from school and you’re probably pulling out all the stops with non-stop crafts, trips to the pool, and glorious harmony in your house . Right? Okay, let’s be serious for a minute. Summer can be hard especially if you have school age kids who [...]

May is Sisterhood Running Month! Yeah, we just made that up, but it seemed like a really cool thing to do in light of the fact that Team Shrinking Jeans is closing in on the San Diego Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon. On June 6th, 15 of us will lace up our shoes and hit [...]

Can you remember when exercise became a job? Another box to check off (or ignore)? I can pretty much pinpoint that moment for me – when I started playing competitive sports in high school. Something about two hours of practice daily, plus games or meets on weekends, and an hour long weight training class during [...]

When Weight Watchers approached the Sisterhood to take part in their Lose for Good campaign, we were thrilled! Losing weight AND giving back? So awesome. It didn’t hurt that I got to jet to California and hang out with Jenny McCarthy and David Kirchhoff, Weight Watchers CEO. I mean, how often do you get to [...]
