I am exceedingly soft of core.**

by

I tried to write this whole interaction as a traditional (if that word can be applied to the mishmash I call my blog) post. I wrote. I edited. I changed. I TRASHED. Each time I reread my writings I felt as though they didnt convey *strongly* enough how I felt (without massive overuse of bolding as Im already doing here). Which brings me to the topic of VLOGGING. Brands love video.  ... Continue Reading

The personal post: call & response.

by

(...because what's more personal than a pic of me wearing an adult onesie?)   The past few holidayweeks Ive received more emails asking about my personal life...my day-to-day...than about my workout routine. (tis the season? it seems people ask more questions about how I hangout during the holidays than how I stay healthy.  come January, however, it's an entirely different ... Continue Reading

Personal First Aid Kit (AKA the return of the cowboy hat).

by

Once upon a time I yammered about the importance of first aid kits. I was kindasorta a new mom and as a result BLANKETED the domicile (and car) with tiny kits crammed with 'saving' devices. Bandages. Medicine. Tweezers. Ointments. Ice pack thingies. Heat packs. Surgical tape. You name the medical crap & I had it jammed into a huge Ziplock and at the ready. And then the Tornado left ...

Breaking all the rules.

by

The golden rule of vlogging (aka video blogging) is never to exceed two minutes. We're all busy.  We're all skimming rushed.  You lose your audience. That important message presented I give you some long ass vlogs Kelly Olexa and I filmed at Blog World. Indeed they're (fingerquote) too long (unFQ), but despite the fact we've broken the rules the videos are jam-packed with ... Continue Reading

Skip it.

by

(my re-found love is now always ready & waiting by the front door)   I frequently lament how I dont love the cardio. I do it (for my heart and for my daughter.  Im a firm believer once we become parents we forfeit the option of losing our mojo). Yet everysinglesolitaryday theres a huge internal debate that goes on before I do. You'll *never* hear me say I dont wanna hit the ... Continue Reading

Wordless Wednesday: Go Team MizFit!!

by

Some viewing for you whilst you HYDRATE:   And the obligatory five second outtake:   **this is not a sponsored post. this post was unplanned until the child & I decided to rip into/Sharpie-UP a 6 pack of tees we found in a closet.  the filming of (one of) the results was all the Tornado's idea. ...

Ahhh Im back to MUSTurbating

by

(with apologies to the amazing Albert Ellis) My MUSTS these days? I must take new group exercise classes so I can yammer about my likes and dislikes here on the blog. I must get to the Tornado's school and volunteer once a week. I must try a new vegetable each week so that Im role modeling adventurous eating for the child hell AND Ren Man but thats a whole 'nother blog ... Continue Reading

I love My Race Ragz! (giveaway)

by

Ok, before I launch into my yammerings of love for My Race Ragz allow me to revisit what I declared about doing few reviews and giveaways. Im doing fewer reviews and giveaways (rimshot!). I will no longer do reviews without giveaways attached (to me it rings all too uncomfyclose to Neener! Neener! Look what I got!!). In addition, I rarely say yes to giveaways pitched to me. Most ...

Labor Day Chickenbus.

by

I wont lie to you, People.  Im feeling awkward. I long to blog about the Garten of the Kinder. I love how writing clarifies the experience in my mind & makes me SNICKER all over again (as when the Tornado's teacher referred to her as SNOTTY & I thought she meant rude. #ForgotNoseWasRunningFAIL). Yet I cant lie to you. It's feels as though Im completely gazing into this tattooed ... Continue Reading

How I fight the pressure to be perfect.

by

Oh people. Believe me I know how vlogs can be a challenge to watch. Word posts are easily read on the sly at the office (yes. I said it.) Word posts are easily read in the morning while the Child is still pretending to slumber & you're praying she actually falls back asleep. That's how important this video is to me. Bookmark & watch later. Watch now with the volume turned ... Continue Reading
