This year has flown by. It seems that just a year ago I was setting up the Christmas tree and beginning the flurry of activities that happen in December. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I tend to go a little overboard. (Probably because I had no Christmas when I...
So I like to take pictures. My family hates it. I’m the one at all events with a camera slung around her neck saying, “Hold it. Let me get a picture.” Followed by moans and groans and rumbling of discontent. My little guy has resorted to “ruining” every picture by...

I tend to do a lot of runs on the treadmill since I have two kids who aren’t old enough to babysit themselves and I have to squeeze in workouts whenever I can. I’m the kind of runner that doesn’t mind the treadmill. I don’t get dizzy or disoriented. Plus,...
