Of course there's a story. And there are going to be more words than pictures. Not because I am wordy (which I am) but because it is really hard to take pictures with a slippery iPhone 7 while skiing. Plus I was a photo taking slacker. Anyway... This was not my first time skiing. My … Continue reading #15 Skiing With The Fam
Most of you know that I'm a teacher. Of the middle school variety. Those kids make my day every day...sometimes they make it chaotic and I want to rip my hair out (but I already don't have very much of that...so of course I leave it in my head), but mostly they make it why … Continue reading #14 Spirit Week
But I was supposed to. I was supposed to do a hot cocoa run, but I wimped out. It was cold and early and I was really lame. I need my running mojo back. How do you all stay motivated to run in the winter? On another note this weekend...we took our family photo for the annual … Continue reading I did not adventure this week…
Ok well, let me tell you we aren't just moms. We are also friends, wives, career women and sisters who think you are never too old to: a) try something new b) have fun c) be complete dorks We all met for dinner at Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse...it's a teppanyaki (whatever that means) type of restaurant. … Continue reading #13 Moms On Skates
My daughter is 18 today. I've been a mom for 18 years. And that is definitely an adventure! Our daughter went and grew up while I wasn't looking. Okay, I was looking. I'm always looking. They don't call me their #1 stalker for no reason. I prefer to call myself their #1 fan. It's just … Continue reading #12 Eighteen
My mom is 60 today. And she is truly the hardest working person I know. Her mom died when she was 19. She gave birth to me at 20. I was her saving grace. Her words during a conversation we had during our sleepover (I'll get to the details shortly). She raised three daughters and struggled to support … Continue reading #11 Old Ladies Night Out
So back when I was contemplating all this 40 before 40 craziness, my good friend Bethany said "Alright, your 10th adventure is definitely going to be a 10k". At first, I was like "umm, yeah right". But then, since I'm not one to back down from a challenge, I began my journey to become a "runner" … Continue reading #10 Running a 10k
So my son created a Snapchat account for me...something about streaks. My daughter rolled her eyes and said to her brother, "why did you do that?" She refused to add me. Apparently Snapchat is not for old people. I must disagree! It's so fun. And addicting. I've laughed so hard with a few friends over … Continue reading Snapchat…I’ve converted
Let me tell you there was a lot of hype building up to this event. And terror. And panic. And self-doubt. And...did I mention terror? And maybe a little whining on my part (about dirt and germs and eyelashes). My adventure team for this race: Rachel, Voni, Bethany, Crystal and Jeni Mae These ladies are … Continue reading #9 Spartan Sprint
I decided I would spare you my typical wordy words and post a photo blog. Okay to be fair, there will still be some words. I can't just quit being a word-aholic. College Tour Okay...so we kind of slacked on the photos during the tour. It was busy. 21 years ago I was a freshman … Continue reading #8 College, Falls and Lashes
