They say that setting a concrete goal increases the likelihood that you'll actually reach it.  So, here I go: my goal for the next four months is to get into bathing-suit-ready shape in time for our family vacation to the Bahamas during our kids' Spring Break.  I was inspired by ...

My Focus for 2011: Family, Friends & Fitness

1.2.11

2010 was a crazy year for me.  Between work (and work travel), the breakneck pace of preparing for Blogalicious Weekend, and Chatterbox and Giggles entering new - and VERY ACTIVE - schools, my candle was being burned at both ends.  I spent most of the year feeling like I was ...

I love my hair!
