Last night Neal and I headed over to The Black Cat DC to see our Brother-in-Law Mark perform with his band The Features. Of course Neal and I are partial because we know the band, but we LOVE The Features. Seeing them in DC is always a treat and I really liked their new songs…
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I just don’t think it’s good to feel so desperate for the weekend! Shouldn’t our Monday through Friday be great enough that by the time the weekend hits it’s just a time to get things done before starting up the work week again? I’m definitely guilty…
Have you ever noticed how your mornings can affect your entire day? Do you ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed and stay on that side of the bed until it’s bedtime? What you do from the time you wake up until you leave your home can make a world of a…

We’ve all heard the saying, “there’s no I in Team”, but that saying has taken on whole new meaning as a member of the DC Divas football team. Being a member of a team means pushing through and… Recognizing the areas you need to improve upon Encouraging others, both when they’re feeling great and when…
Today I am headed to Columbus, Ohio to play in my second game as a DC Diva. It has been a really rough week, so I’m hoping it’s a good weekend away and a great weekend of football. A few weeks ago I started a new series called “What’s Got Me Smiling”, giving y’all a…
I am just exhausted this week! Although I loved traveling to Pittsburgh last weekend and playing in my first football game, not having any down time made Monday pretty rough. I’ve also been fighting a cold/allergies all week, so I’m just beat. The cherry on top though was last night. Neal and I were watching…
One of the many reasons why I love blogging is that I am able to share my life and my heart with my readers. It’s funny how I can sometimes go through life thinking that “no one can relate to what I’ve been through” but the reality is, I’m not alone. Coffee Cake and Cardio…
In two unrelated conversations this week, regret came up and it got me thinking….thinking about my life, decisions I’ve made, and how those decisions have affected my path. I’ve made a lot of great decisions in my life so far… 1. Marrying Neal! 2. Becoming Theodore’s mommy 3. Getting my Master’s from Kansas State 4. …
This year I have been looking at my weight loss goals from a whole new perspective. A while back, my doctor told me that the key to losing weight is determining your reason for losing weight. For some, wanting to be smaller and to weigh a certain amount just isn’t enough to get them to…
My skin is a hot mess in the winter! As soon as the temperatures start to change in the fall my skin gets dry and itchy. It stinks. Over the years though I’ve found some amazing products which keep my skin hydrated and healthy! It’s a different kind of hydration which is really important. I…
This has been a very emotional week for me in regards to my weight loss. I have been truly frustrated and discouraged with my weight loss. When I returned from vacation last Thursday I felt gross and I knew that I had gain a lot of weight while in Texas. Though I didn’t have a…

This was just about the wildest weekend. When all was said and done, I don’t think I’d ever want to go through it again, but there were a few positives… I started Saturday morning with a protein packed breakfast in preparation for my football training camp. As part of my breakfast I made a smoothie…
The next 48 hours are going to be an absolute whirlwind, but before I get into what the future holds let me take a few steps back to talk about the past couple of days. As I shared on Tuesday, I felt like I derailed a bit last weekend. Neal and I had a pretty…
