My Bamboo Boys – Homeschool Experience

I can't vlog, but they sure can!  If there's anything I've learned from this homeschool experience is that playing outside is a MAJOR part of the day.  Yesterday, we took the pool down to make way for the cooler temps and longer days playing in the backyard.  They now have a lot more room (8 feet in diameter to be exact!) to play outside, explore new things, and be boys! Today, we were going to talk about Fall and weather changes, however, this is the best way for them to experience first hand!

Wordless Wednesday: Tower of Strength

Even the fastest marathon runners need support to keep themselves balanced. It was great to see Meb Keflezighi, last year's ING NYC Marathon winner (time 2 hours, 9 minutes, 15 seconds WOW), use Jared Fogel, with Subway and newbie marathon runner, as his support while stretching after a training session for this year's marathon in November.  It just shows you that no matter how advanced we may or may not be  in our health and fitness stage, we all need support from time to time to keep us from stumbling. I took this photo on Monday morning after our run…

See. Lisa. Run. (not well, but run!)

Well, it's the two minutes and forty four seconds you've all been waiting for!  Yep, the vlog on my Smooth Fitness treadmill.  Once again, I apologize for the crumminess of my camera quality.  Wouldn't you know, my battery was dead from my LAST vlog, but it's a good thing that I checked it, because I'd hate to take off to NYC with a dead battery in my camera, right? Which reminds I have to check out the list of what NOT to bring on a Enjoy my very, very short vlog! After watching, I realize I need to relax more…

Commit to Fit with Subway and Jared!

Have you heard the news?  I-am-going-to-New-York-City!  NEW YORK CITY?? (Ok, yeah, that was my best Pace Picante Sauce impression!) Yes, New York City!  I am super stoked! Leah, Rachel, and I have been invited to join Jared Fogle (Yep, Subway Jared!) in Central Park on Tuesday morning during one of his marathon training sessions. While we're running a mile and a half with him, we're going to be followed by the media, have our own paparazzi, and all that really cool jazz.  Ok, so I don't know about the paparazzi, but I am expecting a red carpet in my driveway…

Community Coffee Review/Giveaway w/ History Lesson!

I have two favorite brands of coffee.  Every morning, depending on my daily routine or my mood, I trade off between the two brands. Both brands I love, because they are very unique from other brands.  Today, I will talk about Community Coffee. First of all, scoot on over to your two favorite social media outlets and link up with them! Facebook: Twitter: I have always been a huge fan of Community Coffee.  When I say always, I mean it.  I remember growing up and my daddy would talk about how he just loved that coffee with that Chicory flavor…

I've just been tagged! You're next!

Earlier today (possibly even yesterday) I was tagged!  Yep, you've got it!  You know the ol' emails we used to do where you'd answer all the questions, and pass them on to people and say "oh I think so and so will reply!"  You got it!  Mark from Fatophobia thought highly enough of me that he tagged me.  He had some pretty darn good questions, I might add!  not so much!    Enjoy my answers, and if you happen to be tagged at the bottom, well, I expect a linkup! Yay! 1. If you could choose one movie to watch daily…
