Editor’s note: our regularly-scheduled Boot Camp updates will resume next Friday.
I just heard some news about my college roommate. Horrible news. Last week, she and her family were involved in a car accident while en route from Colorado to Utah. Her oldest daughter was killed.
How does a person ever recover from the death [...]

When I gave birth to my three children, I went from a being free-wheeling, fun-loving, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-capris kind of gal, who could hop in a car and go at a moment’s notice to a diaper bag-hauling, over-protective, sleep deprived, germaphobe with a Super Woman complex. Sound dramatic? Sound familiar?

Dearest Hurricane Hadley,
It is that time again – when I reflect upon this past year and divulge items that will be used as evidence in your future therapy sessions. It is difficult to believe you are finally four! The Terrible 3s certainly trumped the Terrible 2s but with them came an increased sense of awareness [...]

As you enjoy your Memorial Day with family and friends….

Eight weeks into Front Range Adventure Boot Camp, I have become bored with my food choices. A person can only eat so much chicken before they have an adverse reaction.
Cluck, cluck.
The only thing that has not caused ennui is incorporating one of my favorite foods – pumpkin – into my daily menu. In [...]

In the morning, in the bathroom, while I am doing Mini Me’s hair is when we have our deepest conversations. Here is our conversation last Sunday before church:
Mini Me: I can’t wait for Christmas so I can get more TOYS, TOYS, TOYS!
Me: That’s great. (Brushing absent-mindedly)
Mini Me: Is Santa [...]

I have always had a weight problem. I am a tall, big bones German girl who is NEVER going to be a waif. It’s taken a long time to accept it, and I still struggle with my weight, but I have learned to appreciate the positives of this Amazon-ish body I was born with.
