Ive judged you.

by

(At the spring kindergarten round-up, post-bus ride & clutching her free chocolate milk) Oh people. As the title states: Ive judged you. And, by way of full disclosure, there's a pretty good chance Ive mocked you too. A little to your face (Im upfront like that) & more than a little at home to Ren Man while I furrowed my brow and stated, yet, again, SERIOUSLY? Have they no ... Continue Reading

I want you hold me (a chickenbus flashback).

why do I think she may be the only one at school with this packpack? (please to STOP, sit down, & commence gazing at your own navel as I proceed to blog whilst gazing into mine) It's been a wee while since Ive blogged stream of consciousness. Whether it appears so or not (and believe me given my writing style Im cognizant of the fact it does not)---I tend to blog, put away, retrieve later, ... Continue Reading

“Mama, you need to start running.”

by

(this is my kind of running) The Tornado & I were out ambling around Austin recently when she stopped abruptly, turned, looked at me and stated: Mama, you need to start running. Needless to say, since this sentiment was shared in her not soft five year old voice, it garnered more than a few horrified looks. Horrified and, if I interpreted them correctly, Oh Ive been there, ... Continue Reading

Gratitude boards & 5 year olds.

by

(The Tornado's gratitude board mid-creation.) Since she's been old enough to register her surroundings the Tornado has been curious about my vision & gratitude boards. Her questions began as simple ones (What this is?) and have recently grown more specific in nature (Who is this? Why is he on here? Do I know him?!). Although we've always stressed the importance of gratitude it's pretty ... Continue Reading

Six tips for detoxing from junk food

by

Ahhh, People. It's been approximately 11 days since I returned from Fitbloggin and found what was once my child. A former shell of her Tornado-self wrapped in Lunchables quick meal things, slathered in Skittles unnamed candy treats and filled to the HILT with rootbearD.** (I'll let that sink in since I like to imagine you, as I, are stunned by the mere thought let alone the in-person ...

Are YOU your own superhero? (giveaway)

by

I have a few thoughts bouncing around my head today. And they all kinda come together in this story. One which I know doesn’t hold too too much weight now (Im woman misfit enough to realize at this point she’s merely parroting what she’s heard) but one I pray is indicative of whom the Tornado will grow to be. This week the Tornado ran around the park with a towel tucked into the back of ... Continue Reading

A kid’s guide to mindful eating.

by

Spring has sprung in our neck of the woods and, as a result, the Tornado & I have been picnicking. Yesterday, while watching her eat, I was reminded of all she's taught me these past five years. Sure some of my sentimentalnessment (technical term) is in part due to the fact we had her kindergarten roundup yesterday (!), but you'll have that. Please to enjoy Five Mindful Eating Tips ...

Not tonight. These ... Continue Reading

MizFit on TV talkin’ about PLAYouts.

by

While I wasn't too into the whole Austin's Fittest Moms photo-shoot idea----I am really appreciating the opportunity to share with other moms how important it is to GET OUT AND PLAY with our children. Sure normal person traditional exercise is has its place, Ive just found the afternoons I spend with the Tornado being SILLYactive are some of our best times together. (If youre checking in via ...
