One of my favorite pastimes is to peruse the spam filter section of blog comments and laugh at how truly creative some of the attempts are. You’re so interesting! I do not suppose I’ve read something...
In general, while I may have a snarky, snippy and sarcastic side, I tend to be a “yes” person. Need someone to join your planning committee? I’m in. Have a last-minute hole to fill ...
Three quick updates: a) If you live in Central Florida and are an awesome chick, I hope you’ll join the LadyBloggers meetup on Tuesday! We had to change venues, so it’s now at Whirly Dome...
Wow…the bad guys really want to get in on the #Fitblog love, huh? To set the scene: 2pm Tuesday: I check and confirm that the #Fitblog Chats on Twitter website is loading and has the updated in...
One of the reasons I hated yoga for so long was that it forced me to be still…to let myself get lost in my thoughts. To somehow relax both mind and body. It turns out that’s one of the ha...
A while ago, I wrote a post on the basics of Adding or Removing Links from Images. It’s a tool I took for granted and assumed most people used…until I got an email from someone who asked ...

I LOVED my wedding. Truly, truly, I did. All of the stress melted away around lunchtime (after a few bridezilla moments in the morning) and I enjoyed everything from the moment I first saw Lucas: to ...
When I found out I was pregnant, a few thoughts raced through my mind: OMG, seriously? How am I going to tell Lucas? How am I going to tell my parents? How am I going to be able to tell the blog? I h...
I’m cutting back a little on my FFF posts — truthfully, I’m out of the habit of taking pictures (bad blogger!) and the search terms have all been the same recently. So, call it a su...
I promised that this blog wouldn’t become all about baby (um, I have a place for that) BUT this particular insight has more to do with accepting physical and mental changes at any stage than th...
Have you heard of the “30 Before 30″ list? It originally started, according to The Huffington Post, when Glamour magazine posted an article in 1997 detailing the 30 things that all women ...
Blogging is so many things. A joy. A burden. A thrill. An invitation for people to stomp on your emotions. But even on the hard days, I truly, truly love my community and feel blessed for every reade...
Thank you ALL so much for your amazing response to my big news. Yes, I’ve been keeping a secret for quite a while. I am pregnant, with a due date of 10.11.12 (my college girlfriends have all ni...
The call came in at 6 p.m. on Wednesday night. “Um, honey? I’m stranded. My car won’t start, and we tried to jump it and nothing happened.” I sighed, then kicked myself. Lucas...

A year ago today, I had guest posting on my mind…and today, I get more emails than ever from people asking me to write one, asking to submit one for my site or asking about good do and don̵...
Nothing ruins a beautiful post for me like an ugly permalink. Yup, call me nerdy. But structure matters, and especially with WordPress, it could not be easier to fix. Example: a post called “Pe...
I was flipping through my Facebook newsfeed on Monday when a status update from YogaDownload.com caught my eye: (paraphrased) Try not making a permanent decision for your temporary emotion. Take some...
