Today I am partnering up with USC’s masters of social work program for a grassroots campaign, called #YouMatter, which inspires human connection. They reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to share about the project. When I read more about the project I knew that I would jump on it! With us […]
Ironman in California
Two weeks ago we headed to California for a week. Ryan was racing an Ironman distance race on the Saturday so we decided to take some extra time on either side of the race and enjoy a little vacation. Ryan’s mom came with us and it was Miss M’s first time flying. We ended up […]
My Husband Is an Ironman Triathlete
Two weekends ago Ryan participated in his 3rd full Ironman distance triathlon. Last year he did his first triathlon, then he raced in Texas in April and now this one. It takes a lot of time, energy and sacrifices to train for and complete a full Ironman. Sometimes I think we are crazy for the […]
I Donated My Hair!

New Year’s Goal Setting
The new year is right around the corner. Like 2 days away! For some reason I have been a bit slow to set my goals for 2014. All of our holiday get together’s still went through today- maybe that is why. Or maybe it is just the fact that with a baby on the way […]
