Take the Trip

On the 3-year anniversary of losing my dad, my professional advice is: take the trip. In 2015, my dad called me during the work day (a rare occurrence) to ask if I wanted to come crew his upcoming 100-miler. It was a last minute request, and I was nervous about asking to take 2 days…

Top Moments from the 2024 Olympics

The 2024 Paris Olympics were full of incredible performances. Here’s a compilation of my favorites, complete with videos, so you can watch them, too! Men’s 1500 Watch the race here! This is one of the races I watched live, and it was 100% worth it. I ran around the house screaming when Hocker won and…

Trials Prediction Contest Results!

What a day! What a pair of races! It is electric to be at the event in person, and I’m so glad we made the trip. And now for the results of the contest…drum rollllllll…. Congratulations to Shawanna White! She corrected predicted the men’s first and second places finishers, the women’s second place finisher, and…

My 2024 Olympic Trials Marathon Predictions

It’s time to share my picks! It was even tougher than I imagined as there are probably 8-10 contenders for just 3 spots on the Olympic team, and marathons can be so unpredictable. Plus as a fan of these runners as people, I want them all to accomplish their Olympic dreams! *Sob* Alas, I did…

2024 Olympic Trials Marathon Prediction Contest

One week from today, the best marathoners in the country will take to the streets of Orlando to compete for a spot on the Olympic Team for the marathon! I love that the U.S. has a race rather than a selection committee and can’t wait to see who makes the team. And just like in…

Life Lately: July 2023

Daniel Daniel went from being the most chill baby to the almost-toddler that we very lovingly call “Menace” as a nickname. His favorite activities are going up the stairs, getting into the cat food, emptying out drawers, or any other thing he knows he isn’t supposed to do. He is a true second child who…

Life Lately: February 2023

Caleb Caleb is very into holidays now and enjoyed swapping cards with his friends for “Valentimes Day” this week. And of course he loved getting candy. He is so grown up, especially when there’s a baby to compare him to. Last weekend he pulled his hamper into the laundry room and started throwing his clothes…

A Year of Grief

A year ago was the worst day of my life. My dad died. On the one hand, I can’t believe it’s been a year. I can’t believe it’s been that long. On the other hand, so much has happened. I had an entire pregnancy and baby between now and then! I’ve learned a lot about…

Daniel’s Birth Story

In hindsight, it is hilarious how worked up I got about wanting this baby to come. If you search, “second baby comes earlier?” on my phone, all you will see are purple links because I clicked and read them all in the weeks leading up to Daniel’s birth. From early on, I decided he was…

Recap of my Second Pregnancy

In typical second child fashion, this kid gets a blog post 6+ weeks after he’s already born when I blogged weekly during my pregnancy for his brother. Oh well! The biggest difference in the first versus the second pregnancy is that it is impossible to compare your childfree life to your life with a child.…
