What is your exercise activity of choice? For me, it is running - because it's free, effective, and doesn't require a babysitter. I can just lace up my tennies, buckle my girls in the jogging stroller, and hit the pavement. Walking is also one of my favorite forms of exercise. I like walking for miles […]
"Can I have a vitamin?" My almost-3-year-old asks me that every day. Actually, my husband and I take our vitamins every day these days too. Thanks to Hero Nutritionals, the first company to put vitamins and minerals into a gummy delivery system. The company boasts a huge selection for kids - 11 in all: Multi-Vitamin […]
I just noticed that my last post was my 1,000th post. I feel like I should give a speech or something. On second thought: I think I'll just tell you about how I stumbled upon blogging instead. I was working as a school counselor at the time. I had helped to open up a brand […]

I like enjoying the quiet sunrises and catching my breath at the awe-inspiring sunsets - a brilliant blend of oranges, pinks, and purples. I like the smell of rain in the desert, the towering mountains in every direction, the easygoing mindset. I […]
I am an environmentalist. Perhaps not in the stereotypical sense. I don't march in "save the whales" rallies (but I do think animal cruelty should be put to in end). I'm not a vegetarian (but I do eat vegetarian meals several times a week). I shower every single day (but I try to keep my […]
