Oh my gosh, you guys! I haven’t written anything in a long time! When summer came, things around here got very busy with camps, county fair, a quick trip to Okoboji, and moving our youngest to college. I had this crazy idea that September would slow down, and while it has in some ways, we had some big things happen…
This post was supposed to go up in March to go along with my March theme of Stay Strong. However, I was feeling uninspired and unmotivated. Those feelings permeated pretty much all aspects of my life. I wasn’t running. I wasn’t doing strength. I wasn’t eating very well. I wasn’t getting things done that needed done for my business.

It’s January! It’s 2024! And I am not as motivated as I would like to be. As I said when I posted the January Family Activity Calendar, I wasn’t fully ready to start the new year on January 1st. I needed a few days to reflect on the past month and past year as well as look ahead to what…
We’re back with a calendar full of ideas for fun physical activities, meal and snack ideas, and a few other tidbits to help your family stay well.
Oh my gosh! It has been such a long time since I have done an actual blog post! Sometimes the seasons of our lives get a little crazy and we have to adjust which is what has happened for me for several months. The fact is that I do like writing and would like to get back to doing it…
