There is hardly a day that goes by where I’m not running from sun up to sun down (literally and figuritively) trying to juggle all the balls, put out fires and keeping our ordinary imperfect life afloat. Soggy cheerios, baby spit up, […]

I have been a stroller running momma for 7 1/2 years now! My, how time flies when you’re having fun! When I was pregnant with my oldest, I knew I would be logging a lot of miles and would need some wheels for the baby. I also knew that I didn’t want to buy a […]
