Joshua turns 6 this weekend so we're getting ready for a big shindig at our house with a bouncy house, pizza, cake, and more! We have so many neighborhood kids that the boys' birthday parties turn into a super fun block party. We tell everyone not to worry about...
On Saturday I did the Murph run (1 mile run, then 100 pull ups (I did ring rows), 200 push ups, 300 squats, and another 1 mile run). I shaved off 4 minutes from last year's time (55:13 last year to 51:04 this year), which I am pleased with. Afterwards I went waterfall...

Now that the spring Bella Rustina is over, we can actually enjoy spring! I've been exhausted and brain dead since the show, but I've been doing as many fun things to play catch-up as possible. I tried hatchet-throwing and disc golf for the first time last week and...
Last week I said I was going into my most epic event of my life. It turned out to be the most epic loss of profit in my life, but yet my heart is full. Why? We had an amazing weekend. Exhibitors and myself quickly figured out the huge lack of attendance was...
