I received complimentary product from Orvis for this review. All opinions are my own. #SpringIntoOrvis #IC With Spring finally here, we are spending more and more time outside. My sons both love to explore the great outdoors, so almost daily we venture out to one of the parks in our area. As such, I need …
Happy Friday! If you’re anything like me and a lot of other people this is the time of year when we really start to think about getting fit. In order to do so there’s a little bit of gear needed… and let’s be honest cute workout gear helps motivate me a little. This morning I’m …

It’s 5 days until the Flap Jack and Jill 5K. Eeek! Thanks to the fantastic weather the past week I’ve been a little more excited about going out and running. I’m not really where I want to be as far as my training is concerned- I have yet to run all 3 miles straight without …
I’m a little late on this one… I fully intended to post an update on my training yesterday but I was busy doing some organizing and sometimes once I get focused on something it’s hard to pull away. I’ll be sharing details about getting my ducks in a row in the master bedroom tomorrow, but …
Good Monday afternoon! Nearly 2 weeks have passed since my last Healthy Mama post and honestly I haven’t been the healthiest of mamas during that time.
