When my son was born almost two years ago I never really realized how nervous I’d be while watching him play.  My daughter is now a teenager, but I don’t recall being this anxious while watching her play.  My son is all over the place – running everywhere.  Seriously, I think he skipped walking altogetherread more

Pretty Muddy Women's Run

A few weeks ago at my neighborhood block party one of my neighbors mentioned that she was “just getting back from a mud run”.  A mud run, I asked?  Like the one I saw the women do on Real Housewives of Orange County?  I honestly never knew that “mud runs” really existed – I thought itread more

There is probably nothing that annoys me more than getting ready for work, a night out with friends, or date night with the husband and experiencing a “Beauty Blunder”.  You know, those things that make your look not quite right.  And I’ll admit, they’ve happened to me more times than I can count.  Here’s aread more
