Daily Living
Supported
There was a lot that I wasn’t sure of before I started my journey with Team and Training. Fundraising? Yeah, I wasn’t sure about that. At all. Running with people? Also intimidating. Coaches? Well, I think I have to elaborate here to tell you how I feel about that. The best and worst thing about…
How to Bring Home a Real Christmas Tree When You’ve Never Had One Before
Did you know that people want articles on Christmas trees? I know, right? I had no idea – until I was the one Googling “How early can I get a real Christmas tree?” and “How tall should my Christmas tree be?” and “How to care for a Christmas tree” and “How to get your Christmas…
How to Wait: Resources for Advent
December is here, which means we’re finally in the season of Advent. While it was killer as a kid, I totally love the practice of preparing in the waiting. Christmas is never just about the one day of celebration but it is about all that build up, too. And despite growing up in the faith,…

Home for the Holidays
There’s just something about this place. There’s something about the big tree in the backyard that is filling our lawn with red and orange leaves. There is something about little boys in their slightly-too-large coats running over those leaves with toy lawnmowers. There is something about the sun streaming in through the big living room…
How To Run Your Best Race: Super Fast
Until recently, I kind of forgot that Amy was always the athletic one growing up. At nearly three years my junior, she was the sporty one. That’s what happens in families. You forge your own niches to stand out from the rest of your siblings. We both were successful in school and filled our schedules…
Why Moms Run
I often wonder why I chose NOW to run. No, I don’t mean now now. I’m not certainly not running now as I am typing and I won’t be running the moment this post goes live, and it is probably unlikely that I will be running while you are reading these words. By “now”, I mean…
Office Makeover
