I love reflection, but for some reason I have found myself putting off creating space to reflect + look ahead. And I am not exactly sure why. But I am here now, just a few days into 2023 and I have some things that have been floating around in my head that I would like…… Continue reading 2022 Reflection + Finding Greater Joy in 2023

Summer 2022 Reflection
Summer 2022 was a good one. It was full of a lot of slow, simple days. As I wrote last year, I was not ready for summer to end. I wanted more summer. For some reason, this year I feel ready for fall. Not that summer was bad, it definitely wasn’t. I think I’m just…… Continue reading Summer 2022 Reflection
Mountains 2 Beach Marathon 2022 Race Recap
My second marathon is in the books and after a few days since running it, I’m ready to recap it! I ran the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon June 5th. I chose this course because it is a net downhill and it was relatively local to where we live. I was hoping to chase down a…… Continue reading Mountains 2 Beach Marathon 2022 Race Recap
3 Days Before Marathon Thoughts
Marathon day is just a few short days away! I’m feeling excited, ready and nervous. A pretty standard trio of feelings for me leading up to a big race. This training cycle as a whole has been very solid. It’s been unique in the sense that I only ran 5 days a week with one…… Continue reading 3 Days Before Marathon Thoughts
Marathon Training: Recap #3
And just like that, the third phase of training is complete! This phase of training was another solid one. Workouts were a bit of a mixed bag but worked on rolling with it even when they did not match the plan on paper. Long runs also had to get creative with different routes and days…… Continue reading Marathon Training: Recap #3
These Are The Days (Jan. 2022)
One of the reasons I love writing, both on this blog and in my journal, is because it helps me to remember the small, beautiful moments of this particularly more challenging season of raising two little boys. Last week, I was listening to Emily P. Freeman’s podcast, The Next Right Thing. Actually, I was listening…… Continue reading These Are The Days (Jan. 2022)
2021 Reflection + Staying Present in 2022
It is hard to believe we are already at the end of the year. In the last couple days before the new year, I always love taking some time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to the new one. I have been doing these yearly reflections for 3 years now. It really…… Continue reading 2021 Reflection + Staying Present in 2022
Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom
I wanted to take a little space on here to reflect on the first 6 months with sweet Thatcher. It is amazing that 3 years ago I wrote a post reflecting on the first 6 months of motherhood. The first 6 months with Hudson were entirely different compared to our first months with Thatcher. As…… Continue reading Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom
2021 Summer Reflection
Somehow this summer went by in the blink of an eye. In a lot of ways I was expecting a slow, long summer since we didn’t have much going on, but it still seemed to fly by nonetheless. A year ago, I reflected on how hard, yet beautiful last summer was. You can read more…… Continue reading 2021 Summer Reflection
How I’m Feeling 8 Weeks Postpartum
Somehow it’s already been 8 weeks since baby Thatcher came into our lives. I wanted to press pause and take a little space on here to reflect on how I’m feeling at this 8 week mark. While I had not yet started this blog when I was 8 weeks postpartum with Hudson, I can tell…… Continue reading How I’m Feeling 8 Weeks Postpartum
