If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me, “I don’t know how you do it”, well hell, I’d have a lot more money than I do now! But in all seriousness, I get asked that question a lot over stuff that I consider routine, so I wanted to talk about it… Continue reading How I Do It… And Why
Getting started in something is easy, but continually progressing and moving forward is much harder. This is especially true, it seems, when it comes to fitness and nutrition. So often I’m asked how I manage to keep moving foward and progressing in my fitness goals. I’ve come so far in such a short time, and… Continue reading Starting AND Maintaining Fitness Goals
What’s it like being a military spouse? How do you handle the distance and separation? How do you deal with frequent moves? What’s it like having to do everything alone? These are a few of the questions I’ve been asked over the years. Today I want to touch on some of these and give you… Continue reading Life As A Military Spouse

So often as mothers (fathers, too) we devote our entire being to raising our children and doing what they need, without much consideration for ourselves.

Emotions quickly turned to fear and angst over situations… Continue reading An Inspired Journey Through a Dreadful Year
