Last week, the wonderful Community Manager, Jonathan, at ENERGYbits sent me a sample of their product to try. I have been seeing ENERGYbits take off all over my twitter newsfeed and love how sincerely involved the company is in all of the athletic endeavors of its...

I wear a size 11 shoe. Being almost six feet tall, that shouldn’t be a surprise. Rob wears a size 14-15 shoe. Being 6’5”, that should also not be a surprise. No matter where we went in Asia, it seemed like our feet were always a problem. Shoes came...

Rob and I do a big Costco haul about every 2 weeks. We load up on fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheese (because it’s a vice), and then spend the next two weeks surprising ourselves when we eat it all. I am a major advocate of trying not to waste anything we buy...

I’m happy to report that the past few days have been extremely productive! With long school breaks, I always worry that I won’t get everything done that I want to, but I have been on top of it the past few days. One of those to-do list items were to peruse...

During our trip to Japan, Rob and I ate a serious amount of delicious things. We were so thrilled to be in a place where we didn’t have to worry about how long the meat had been sitting out, or if the cook had washed their hands after using the bathroom,that we...

It’s only Monday, but so far, spring break rocks! After spending about two hours of my morning at the happiest place on earth, the DMV, I came home and did a few house chores mixed in with a Sex and the City marathon that was happening on TV. This video is what...

Phew! I feel like this is the first time I have sat down all weekend! Rob and I spent this weekend pursuing open houses in our neighborhood. Since Rob passed his real estate test, he wanted to see what was out there. I was more than willing to go with him to get...

The track kids did so well on Wednesday! Compared to their performances from Saturday, I am really proud of them. They knew how a meet worked, were one of the most well-behaved teams there, and a few of them scored first and second in their heats! Proud mama bear all...

Good morning! I am off to a track meet this afternoon, so I wanted to share this recipe with you all before leaving for work. Hopefully today’s race won’t be as cold and windy as Saturday’s meet. Roasted Edamame and Chickpeas As I was going through...

This picture pretty much sums up our Asia experience. The locals, even the Vietnamese we worked with and saw everyday, could not get over both of our heights. One time on a train from Nha Trang to Da Nang, a passenger handed me his baby. Then he took a picture. And...
