Always evolving, Never Average
We moved to Brookfield 4 years ago. We didn’t know anybody in town, and Number 1 was just starting 7th grade. In the first few weeks of school, he became friends with a kid, and had gone to his house once. My husband took him over to the house and picked him up, so I hadn’t …Read More

So I’ve had an aha moment. I like this working out thing. And I like this motivation thing. It’s a lot of work, but I’m really enjoying running my e-course. And, especially for the first time, I think it’s a big success. We are halfway through after this week, and last night I got this …Read More
Yesterday there was a 5 mile race in town. I was a little bit torn as to whether or not I would run in it because Number 3 and 4 had a swim meet yesterday morning too. And I don’t like to miss seeing them swim. In fact, I never have. But I really wanted …Read More
