Expat, Mom, gym rat and pinterest junky. Momming it up and trying to keep my sanity.
So I think we can all agree that this is a weird Christmas. No Christmas markets, no ice skating, no dinners with friends and family, just an impending sense of guilt and doom. I would like to offer a suggestion to help salvage this… Continue Reading “Is it Hamster Time?”
I have been undecided about the best time to share this, then I decided that the best time is whenever I feel comfortable. Because I don’t really see a “best time”. After many years of marriage my husband and I have decided to go… Continue Reading “The Next Chapter”
So a few weeks ago I did a thing. For me it isn’t a big thing, but based on the responses I have gotten since, apparently it is. I cut my hair. Like, really cut my hair. I knew I was going to do… Continue Reading “Ya’ll Say Brave, But I’m Really Just Lazy”

So little happened in the world of Roller Derby the last 2 weeks that I couldn’t even justify 2 separate blog posts. I went back to follow up with the surgeon about my finger at the beginning of week 8. It was still hurting… Continue Reading “Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Weeks 8 & 9”
Not to much happened with Roller Derby through out the week, actually. My finger is still giving me trouble so my gym time was limited. I did go back to Power Yoga on Monday night. The instructor was able to show me some modifications… Continue Reading “Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Week 7”
I’m back! Last week I was forced to take a break from Roller Derby (and just about everything else) because of an injury. It was a rough week, I’m generally a very active person and I had a hard time at the sudden stillness.… Continue Reading “Roller Derby: Fresh Meat,Week 6”
