Product reviews for trendy Moms & Dads, their children & pregnant moms
Nothing like christening a new workout jacket but putting it on for the first time and running in a 10 mile race, right? When the morning of the Broad Street Run came, it was chillier than predicted and I quickly grabbed my new jacket from Champion to keep me toasty while I ran my big race. I wore it for the first three miles, tied it to my waist … [Read more...]
It's entirely possible my legs won't function tomorrow, but right now I'm feeling pretty good because I just got back from an 8 mile run. (!!!!!!! WOO!) This is the longest I've gone to date and I've really been slacking with the Broad Street Run training. So much, in fact, that I've really been starting to doubt my ability to do it at all. With … [Read more...]
This is me this morning. FREAKING MY YOU-KNOW-WHAT out because I got the email that I have officially gotten into the lottery to Broad Street Run (10 miles, Center City in Phila. The run everyone does if you live in Philly and call yourself a runner.) Oh and yes, you read that right - you have to apply to a lottery to be ACCEPTED to go and run … [Read more...]
So I'm stretching for Kettlebells class this morning and I turned to my BFF Zareen and was like, O-M-G I don't have a post up today. I've literally been failing on getting my morning posts up here because as I've been saying lately, I'm too busy doing social media stuff to blog. Ironic, right? I always find that funny: the Mom blogger who is too … [Read more...]
As I write this, I'm onto day 5 of nursing my 9 year old, who is home sick with the flu. (I posted earlier this week if you're in the same boat as me and want to see how I'm nursing him - What You Need to Help Your Kids Get Through the Flu.) I didn't want my fitness routine to suffer and I had hubby around over the weekend so I could scoot out to … [Read more...]
I'm really not a big fan of having a specific New Years Resolution. I used to set them - it would be the same one pretty much through my entire twenties. Go on a diet, lose weight, exercise. I mean, come on - sooooo original, right? And of course because I was in my twenties, I'd wake up hungover New Years morning and get discouraged when I … [Read more...]

OMG people. O.M.G. That seems to be the only appropriate thing to say over this one. For the last several years, I've been working hard to work out regularly and eat right. I've been doing well for almost three years now thanks to 5+ days a week of exercising and daily logins with MyFitnessPal.com. But this past Thanksgiving weekend reminded … [Read more...]
Man was I excited when I heard that they were opening an Athleta at the King of Prussia Mall, only a 15 minute drive from my house. I've been a huge Athleta fan for eons and the idea that I'd actually get to visit one of their stores in real life (rather than ordering online, as I've done for years) made me giddy! So when I got the invite to come … [Read more...]
Yesterday I ran an awesome event - the Mothers Day 5k here in my hometown of West Chester, PA. The proceeds from the race go to Mommy's Light, which is a fabulous local organization that helps the children of Mothers who have passed away from cancer. They work to keep traditions alive with these kids after their mother's passing and it's really a … [Read more...]
