So, as I’ve mentioned quite a few times here on the blog, I participated in a “Performance Nutrition Challenge” at our Crossfit gym box.   Back in January, I and others, paid $60 to participate, and then spent two months training hard and eating clean. “Paleo” or a “caveman diet” is the most common description...

Crossfit / Paleo Progress Report

Saturday, March 3rd marked the end of the 60 day Performance Nutrition Challenge I participated in at my Crossfit gym.   We are still finishing up some performance workouts at the gym, so our coach won’t announce the winners until the end of the next week, but I thought it would be a good time...

The Alphabet (Pirate) Party

On Tuesday, Adam turned 4.   When I had asked him who he wanted to invite to the party, he promptly named four boys in his preschool class. I pressed to see if he wanted anyone else, maybe some of the girls, but he said, “No, no girls.  They’re not my friends.  Just the boys.”...

Crazy for Crossfit

Crazy for Crossfit

You may or may not remember, but back in November, I started working out at my husband’s Crossfit gym box.  I had been out of shape, getting fatter and frustrated with myself for not doing anything about it. Initially, I found the workouts and the whole concept super-intimidating, but it didn’t last long, and...

Happy Birthday to Me!

I enjoyed a lovely low key birthday weekend. On Friday, my beloved planned out and prepared a delicious steak and shrimp birthday dinner and made homemade tiramisu cupcakes.  Yum! I received a cupcake with two candles, because, according to the pastry chef, “that’s how many years less than 40 you are”. Adam thought it...

Eight is great!

We had a great time celebrating Wendy’s 8th birthday over the weekend. She is such a delightful girl. It was fun to watch her open presents — she was thrilled with everything.  Some of the highlights were hair things (sponge rollers!), Magic Treehouse books (a favorite) and her first Timex watch. We’ve done some...

Look Ma, No Training Wheels!

We love gliders (aka run bikes aka balance bikes aka pedal-less bikes).   Our older two kids have learned to ride by first learning to glide.   Now that our three year old is a master glider, I’ve been itching to get him on a “big boy bike.” Apparently, a downside of gliders is that once...

First Day of Preschool

Preschool actually started last week for young Adam, but I didn’t remember to take a picture until Monday.  And then he wouldn’t agree to pose for one, until after school. I’m glad he finally did because I :heart: this photographic evidence of what a cutie patootie he is. He is in a class for...

Back to School Busyness… and another first!

In preparation for Back to School, all three of my kiddos got haircuts.   We’ve been to different Arlington establishments, but this time I took all three to the Hair Cuttery.   My girl was thrilled to go to a “real” salon and especially loved getting her hair washed and using the bubble dryer. I was...

Did I mention?  Sam is 6!

Here it is July and I’ve completely forgotten to post about Sam’s birthday! He turned 6 during the last week of school and things were so hectic, I never got around to blogging about it.  In an effort to minimize the future therapy bill, I better make mention of our middle child’s birthday. We...
