I always describe myself as a wife, mother and engineer... the order of my words never deviates, but the priority of the roles certainly does! As it turns out, I'm a running mom, too... one who struggles to find time to fit in the miles I desperately need in order to stay sane. This blog will focus on keeping up with my teeter totter life in the pursuit of balancing it, if only long enough for me to put on my running shoes and hit the road!

To Whom It May Concern:
In the future, you might find that you’ll receive payment faster if you do not send the bill to our 6-year-old child. While we realize that she was the patient to who ... Read more...
I was guilty of overscheduling this summer – not lessons or camps, but vacations. Is that even possible? We all seem to overschedule our kids and lives, especially during the school year. This summer, I made the mistake of overscheduling my vacations.&nb ... Read more...
When I first started working in my very male-dominated industry a scant 15 years ago, a seasoned (non-engineering) female co-worker bestowed upon me a very sage piece of advice… “Never cut the cake.” Looking quizzically at her, she explained further, “At work, ... Read more...
This week, I’m going to summer camp! Remember summer camp? Crafts, games, songs, snacks, making new friends and being outdoors all… day… long? (Minus the bugs, sunburns and outhouses of course!) Forget long hours in the office, looking out th ... Read more...

I admit it… I fell off the wagon or I guess I should say that I got ON the wagon and stopped running next to it. I stopped running for a few months, and boy could I feel it! My energy was lower, my clothes weren’t looking so hot on me (the fashion maven ... Read more...
The other day my 9-year-old daughter and I were folding laundry together (okay, she was folding and I was just keeping her company) and had a little conversation that went something like this:
Daughter: “Mom, I don’t want to be a stay-at-home mom when I ... Read more...
I like to shake my head and sometimes laugh at the people on House Hunters International. I love that show – absolutely love it, but the thing I find so funny is when the people moving almost always say, “We’re moving to another ... Read more...
I picked up my girls from school the other day, and as usual, my oldest one was in a panic (there is always drama in the 3rd grade). She informed me that my kindergartener had said a “bathroom” word on the playground and that other kids had heard her and told ... Read more...
One day this month, my family life and love of running melded in perfect harmony. My family ran a 5K race with me. I didn’t even have to bribe or cajole them into it. In fact, my kids suggested it, and even my husband gave me an enthusiastic yes (r ... Read more...
