Some Things I Am Afraid Of…

My daughter was due in mid February.  She was born two months early.  My intelligent mind tells me it wasn’t my fault – I did nothing to make this happen and today, she is healthy and strong.  My intelligent mind can reason.  My emotional heart can’t forgive.  I know it isn’t rational but there it [...]

My Mother’s Typewriter

My daughter wants to play with my computer. It is a brand spankin’ new MacBookPro and she is two years old. It just ain’t happening.
I can remember back to when my Mom’s typewriter (Yes! I am that old.) was something I wanted to play with and bang around on. It was [...]

No Longer a Tagging Virgin - I’ve Been Tagged!

Hey, thanks to Daisy at http://daisyolsen.com/ for teaching me about memes and tagging (as in “Tag! You’re it!”). I have a lot to learn but I have found such a supportive group of friends and other Moms online with such a tremendous wealth of experience that I have never truly been alone. [...]

Jogging with milk-filled boobies, and nursing in public

I tried to exercise while nursing. I really did. But my daughter and I kept this relationship going for over a year-and-a-half and frankly every attempt I made was thwarted with squirting milk and leak spots on my workout shirt. So I gave it up. Which is why I’m going after [...]

The Preakness

No, I am definitely NOT starting this by comparing my limping old bod to a thoroughbred horse.  But hey!  So I ran early today – 30 minutes, not too long but my long run of the week.  Drove into the park (Grand Canyon) and ran along the rim.  SO beautiful.  I heard robins and it [...]

Awesome Mom Blogger Alert - Suri Cruise’s Ladybug Shoes

So I spent my lunch break surfing around today trying to find other Mommy bloggers. And WOW! I found bunches, and good ones to. Ones that inspire. Ones that make me know I’m not too much of a “nut-job” for trying to do the home mom business thing.
In particular, there is [...]

Being a Mom

I spent the last two hours simultaneously trying to hold down an angry, scared toddler while trying to pull a splinter from her foot.  It didn’t work.  We ended up at the doctor’s office where it took three nurses PLUS me and two shots of pain killer to get it out.  She recovered pretty quickly [...]

Why I am writing this blog and other cool stuff

Hey, by the way, I am a Mom, and a runner (well, trying to become one) and a designer. I am writing this blog to create interest in the beautiful part of the country I am so lucky to live in, as well as to promote and hopefully share the joy of my designs. [...]

Marathon Mom has arrived!

OK, so I decided my little one needs a good mommy role model. Yeah, I would prefer to plop my ass down in front of TV and watch a good rerun of “Eureka” on the SciFi channel, and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey, but what message would that really send?  No, [...]
