Finding Balance in a Busy Life
It's been at least a week and a half since I started this blog. My intention was to post it before my grandbabes arrived last week. But here I almost a full week into July and life continues to dictate whether I write or not. I didn't expect to go back to work part-time or …
Spring Into Fitness
Spring is coming. And I can hardly wait for it. Spring, for me, means warmer temperatures and more time in the great outdoors. How about you? Are you excited about it?

October Days & Fitness
October days. Now, these are the days that bring a fresh wave of nostalgia to the air. Hot summer days are a thing of the past, and cold winter days are not quite here yet. It's time to slow down and watch the leaves fall, wave at everyone...well, since we can't really see smiles right …
