September Fitness Check In
In the past, summer has been my season for a busy race schedule. And while I still love a good race, it's a bit more challenging this season with a toddler and a now 3 month old.

My current workout schedule consists of 2-3 days of spinning, 1-2 days of strength training and 1 day a week to actually run (which is usually pushing my three year old for a 5k loop in my neighborhood.) For quite a while, I was crushing Read More
Recipe: Blackberry Bran Muffins with Oxo

This past week, we made an extra special recipe for a wonderful cause with OXO, a brand we love. OXO has a Cookies for Kids' Cancer campaign, where OXO Read More
