My kids had an amazing opportunity to Push Away the Screen and be involved with the Richard Petty Driving Experience at Walt Disney World by participating in a Junior Ride Along experience!! They got to sit shotgun in a real NASCAR and go over 120MPH!! We started our adventure with a tour of the garage where they keep the exotic cars! They even started two of them up and "roared" the engines. Ronin L.O.V.E.D this part and asked for them to do it again and again. It surprised me that he liked... [More]

I had the opportunity to try out two different pair of Koss Stereophones. I decided to do my review in a Vlog format :) What type of headphones do you wear when you workout? Do you have funky ear holes (is that even a word??) like I do and have trouble finding earbuds that fit?!? Koss is also having a $5 off code (which is also good for FREE shipping) Just go to http://www.koss.com and use the code Fit4Life. The ones that I really liked are called "Fit Clip."  I liked these a lot!!

This Saturday my husband and I will head down to experience Tampa's FIRST Margarita Festival!! I love margarita's. My husband loves margarita's. My mom is coming up to stay with the children.

I knew why I was doing it, but I didn't realize what an impact I would have on so many thousands of people. In today's CTJ I talk a little bit about that. I'm also honored to announce that I've been featured in a list of 100 Motivational/Inspirational Facebook pages by Women's Races. I'm so humbled. And THAT is why I blog. If you are a blogger, and/or have a Facebook ... [More]

Having a husband from the "true south" I've become quite accustomed to greens; collards, mustard and kale.  James grew up in Florence, South Carolina, though his family has roots in Tampa dating back to the 1880's. James traveled with his grandparents and mother who were all in academia and they moved from Tampa to Florence in the late 1970's, moving back to Tampa in 1984. It was his stint in South Carolina that gave him a fondness for greens. For as long as we've been married (13 years!!)... [More]
