1.  I can walk around a sink full of dishes all day long!

2.  However, I can’t stand a full laundry basket.

3. I love dates, but, probably eat too many.

4.  I love Iced Americano’s but again, drink too many.

5.  I write alot here, but, I’m not that big of a talker and I don’t enjoy talking on the phone! Text me, it’s easier.

6.  I love to read Southern Fiction by Dorothea Benton Frank, although I haven’t finished a book in over a month.

7.  I can whip together dinner most nights of the week with little or no planning.

8.  Taking my children to the grocery store is one of my least favorite things to do especially when there are KID carts!

9.  Best thing that’s ever happened to me, CrossFit!

10.  When I’m really stressed and frustrated, if I only focus on what’s happening RIGHT NOW in THIS minute, I function better.

What are your good or bad habits?  And, how are you going to change the bad ones?

A Cashmink scarf by Fraas! These scarves are amazing!  Incredible softness..has lead me to wear it daily- even on 70 degree days!

Yoga Pants

The Girls Apparel Company is always a good choice for an inexpensive pair of yoga pants! The price is great (under $40) for a really nice comfortable pair of yoga pants. The Girls brand offers lots of choices in tees, Capri’s and pants!

The Fruit Guys delivers amazing boxes of fruit and vegetables from local farmers! These make excellent gift for busy moms.

Sherpani makes great bags for women. And, if you’re shopping for a busy mom who loves to workout, then, the Blaze is the best choice as it’ll fit the workout shoes and MORE.

A sweatband for sweaty workouts!

These are just a few ideas that I’ve come up with. Most of these products have been featured here on Fit Mom’s Blog in the last few years- so, I can vouch for their need/want/love for a busy mom. Just recently, Fraas and The Girls Apparel sent me samples which I’ve found to be fabulous!

For the FTC, Fraas and The Girls Apparel sent me products for review. The above opinions are my own and nobody is paying me to write this!!

Make this day happen. Be proud of every single thing you do, even if you make mistakes. You are learning.


What will you do with your day?

{a silly post ahead}

You only consider raiding your makeup drawer when the bags under your eyes are the first thing you notice when looking in the mirror.

You might be an athlete if you only consider getting a pedicure when all nails have lost their color and the skin on your heels gets caught in the carpet.

You might be an athlete if 99% of your clothes are workout wear and the 1% of street clothes you own don’t fit and are out of date.

You might be an athlete if a rest day includes extra practice on skills you stink at- such as handstand practice or dead hang pullups.

You might be an athlete if all of your best friends are athletes.

Life is good!
Happy Rest Day, Everyone.

Let’s celebrate my 3 year anniversary with a little of who and what I am today versus 3 years ago:

She loves it when her boys can play for hours with nothing but 2 old couches and their cushions…

She loves rest days but can’t wait to get back in the box and test out her strengths, weaknesses and mental toughness…

She loves going to sleep at night hearing the sounds of Phil Ligget, Bob Roll, and Paul Sherwin calling the shots in the Tour de France…

She loves iced green tea and pedicures…

She loves that her husband is doing crossfit…

Can be generous to a fault but can’t remember to send birthday or thank you cards, ever!

has amazing friends…

can spend WAY too much time studying crossfit journals and videos!

still loves yoga!

has one month till her next crossfit invitational!

needs to plan a BIG ASS GOAL for her 40th birthday next year?!?!?

Who are you and what do you love?

When two major things happen in one week for your kid, I tend to want to jump for joy!

Age 6, After hanging on to to it for nearly a month, he finally lost his big tooth!

We celebrated with a trip to the frozen yogurt shop! {yes, I know it’s not on the Zone diet}

And, then he read an entire book by himself to us with no help or prodding! Whoo Hoo….Let the reading begin!

This Fit Mom is celebrating with an early night to bed!

Happy Mother’s Day!

DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine, $85.95.

Jewelry by Bronwen Online. Prices start at $42.00.

A Killer Dress! Patagoina, $79.00.

Sur La Table Grilling Basket, $34.95.

Since we visited this olive oil farm in Italy, I can personally recommend this brand as a high quality- save for special occassions, Italian Olive Oil.  However, unless you live in Canada, you can’t ship it to the US without spending $30 on shipping! So, anybody want to recommend a high quality olive oil for us US citizens?

These are just a few ideas for this coming Mother’s Day.   Bottom line, however, is to make the mother in your life feel special!  Love them and take care of them as if we were a queen, just for one day.

What do you want for Mother’s Day?

To all of YOU who may be reading but not commenting, I know you’re there-so thanks for reading!

This post may seem late or out of left field, but, even when I haven’t said it out loud, I am truly thankful to have known you all even though a many of you I have never met in person.  I love blogging.   Blogging has connected me to a world outside the one I am living in and I love the life perspective it gives me.

This post sounds as if I am signing off…but, no, you are not going to get rid of me, I just wanted to give a “shout out” and spend some time being thankful for what I have and what I have been given from all of you.

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”
