Embracing the Gift of Motherhood

Embracing the Gift of Motherhood

Wow. Being a mom is amazing. And breath taking. And plain old hard, in ways. A couple weeks ago, when Benaiah was sick, I seriously was throwing up desperate prayers of help. I don’t know if my patience is less than others, but woah, a 

Highlights from a Week of Sickness

Highlights from a Week of Sickness

Honestly, these past couple days, starting last Friday until today have been rough. Benaiah and I have been sharing a nasty cold, which means both of us are more tired and at least one of us (Niah) is a lot more cranky. 

But, I hate not blogging as frequently as I normally do and feeling so disconnected from you all. So, I decided to at least share a few highlights from this week (and last weekend) here on the blog! I’m hoping this weekend we will be feeling a lot better, but we will see.

Balancing Running and Mothering without Losing Your Mind

Yes, running and balancing motherhood is challenging, not every run goes as planned and sometimes I have to cut runs short. BUT, I really believe that the benefits and the memories far surpass the effort it takes to juggle both…

Benaiah: 15 Months

Benaiah: 15 Months

I don’t know why, but 15 months seem so old. Maybe it is because I can actually communicate with this little human or that he is now very opinoinated. Or maybe it is because he knows how to give actual kisses or that he knows

Oh hello there and welcome back to the week. I hope you all had an amazing weekend and are arriving at this Monday morning feeling refreshed and rested. I was so excited, Friday, when I glanced at my calendar and realized we had a pretty 

My Story of Postpartum Anxiety

I feel like there is something about postpartum anxiety and depression that is a little taboo. Maybe culture is changing on this issue, but I find that in our society, it really isn’t talked about much and many moms who struggle with this, live in

What Training for a Marathon with a Toddler Looks Like

This marathon training cycle took me through a lot of phases in my sons life. I started training in April, when he was only five months old. I ran the marathon only sixteen days after he turned 1 year old. Running through so much of

Benaiah is Walking and Runners are Great People: Friday Favorites

HEYYY! We made it to Friday and I am more than ready for this slower than usual paced weekend. This week, though good and fun, has been draining! I think I’ve gotten together with people every day and as much fun as that is, I

Another Typical Tuesday: Resting, Time with Friends, and an Easy Dinner

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Can you believe we are half way through the week already? These past couple days have felt so weird, (but a good weird) with absolutely no running or exercise. Honestly, I feel like it is just what my body needs,
