A great week here. All around strong runs with steady (and some fast!) paces. This is week 4 out of 12 for my half marathon training. I hope that training continues like this, but I am being realistic and preparing for a few bumps along the way. A major help is the weather. It has … Continue reading Recap: Week of 1/23
A few weeks ago we were all sick. Including the dog. The twins had colds, I had strep, Chris had a terrible cough, and Roxy had some sort of stomach bug. It was awful. And then, as if the marketing gods planned it (they did), our Whole Foods ran a special on whole chickens, and … Continue reading Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
January Thaw is real, and it's here in Philadelphia. To be honest, I hope it stays for good. I'm from New England originally so I have experienced and can withstand harsh winters....but the older I get, the more I find snow to be such a nuisance! Especially when getting out of the house these days … Continue reading Recap: Week of 1/16

Never in my life … Continue reading Twin FAQs…Multiple and Miles Edition
This week everything felt like normal. We all got over our colds and sickies. The babies were back to their happy, easy selves. I got back out for runs, although I did have some weird leg pains on Thursday 1/12 that kept me in for a day. But still, it was like a nice easy … Continue reading Recap: Week of 1/9
I moved through my yoga class tonight with strength and intention. My balance wobbled a bit and my mind wandered from time to time but I used my breath to return my thoughts to my mat and steady my muscles. I felt content as the class wound down and when we all laid back for … Continue reading A New Intention
WHEW! What a week to kick off the new year. All in all, it wasn't so bad....it just had it's challenges. I started the week off with a rest day -- my first day with no running in 39 days. Because of the streak I was so used to running everyday, it was actually hard … Continue reading Recap: Week of 1/2
I love the idea of freezer meals. As a stay at home mom I'd like to be able to cook a real meal every night by using the twins' naptime as meal prep time - but about 3 days in to this motherhood thing I realized that was never going to happen. So freezer meals help … Continue reading Recipe: Freezer Cajun Jambalaya
This is a bit of a throwback recipe for me -- I made this almost two years ago....I had just started following an account on Instagram called Eat Good 4 Life. Go check it out, seriously your mouth will water at ALL their photos. So many delicious and healthy looking dishes! When they posted a … Continue reading Recipe: Thai Noodle Soup
