Eight minutes in…”Momma, I’m already skinny and my jeans button so how ’bout you just do the rest?” Note to self…never let a six year old choose your workout. I mean why wouldn’t she choose a 26 minute ab workout? I think it’s only fair that I have Rocky abs after that one. Last night, … Continue reading Mom-Life Shape

But mom you said we could jump more before bedtime even if it was dark and freezing and we didn’t have to wear coats and we could eat pineapple while we jump. … Continue reading Did I really say that?
I am 30. I have been alive for over 11,000 days. Today marks the one that holds the most incredibly disgusting moment of them all. My youngest is 1 year, 5 months, and 1 day old and he just grown-up-puked all over me 5 times as I was carrying him to his bed. Luckily Kyle … Continue reading The Sandlot Scene
