As you know, I recently hit up Gymagogo, an online workout that lets you take a live class in the comfort of your own home.

It’s a Sunstar Gum Picnic Party on Twitter—Pull Up a Checkered Blanket!
The following is a post sponsored by Sunstar G.U.M. For our sponsored post policy, click here. After my daughter’s first successful dentist visit, I’m all about oral hygiene. I’m all about keeping my chompers in tip-top shape so that I never get my first cavity (woot!), and so that I can lead by excellent example for... Continue reading
Just When You Think You’ve Got It Figured Out…
…the season’s already changin’. Remember that tune? Well, it applies to parenthood, too. Only, I’d change the lyrics to “Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the schedule’s already changin’.” Because as soon as you settle into a groove with a schedule with two kids, it’s...

Yard Work, Without the Backache
Yard work is no joke. I just came inside a bit ago after push-mowing the lawn and hacking down a rose bush that had gotten so out of control it was the size of a small country, and my limbs are quivering much like the limbs I chopped down. (Gardening humor, what what!) I never mind yard work, because I’m outside, yay, and I always... Continue reading

A Tutu Triathlete
As I read through Tri-Mom: Swimming, Biking, and Running Through Motherhood, this excerpt jumped out at me as the one I wanted to run here to follow up my review of the book. Maybe it’s because as a mom of a daughter, I too want to teach her how to be strong and go for her goals. Or because she brought waaay more pink into my life.... Continue reading
Tri-Mom: Swimming, Biking and Running Through Motherhood
If you consider yourself to be a busy mom who struggles to make time for all of the obligations of life (who doesn’t?), you should read Tri-Mom: Swimming, Biking, and Running Through Motherhood by Debra Hodgett. Nothing will make doing a 30-minute Pilates workout or getting to to the gym for a workout seem more manageable than Hodgett’s... Continue reading
Avoid Toddler Tantrums and Meltdowns Even as Summer Heats Up!
The toddler-tantrum stage is scary for parents. I’ve not yet dealt with an all-out meltdown in public yet, but I came really close at the library once. I’ve found that the key is to avoid two main factors: exhaustion and hunger. Because combine a tire, hungry kiddo with a crowded public place? You’re pretty much guaranteed... Continue reading

Kid on Wheels: Fisher-Price ‘Skaters’
When I got my K2 inline skates, my daughter was fascinated, to put it mildly. She took over, tried them on, and proceeded to attempt to break an ankle playing around in them. I knew immediately that she would need her own skates. So immediately after testing out my own skates, we headed out to get her some of her own. I found the Fisher-Price... Continue reading
