About Me


This is me, in all my glory! I live in beautiful Silverton, Oregon with my husband Ryan of seven years and my little boy Cam. My favorite job is being mom to my little guy. He is always at the center of every thought, worry, and hope in my life. What a blessing a baby makes in your life! I also teach other moms babies each day in my kindergarten classroom. What can I say but, "life is good"!
          I started this blog to capture memories of my little boy Cam, but gradually I am making this into a little bit more. I wanted to put a little bit of "me" into this blog and so thus started my quest to figure out "what makes me, me"? I can tell you this: I am defiantly NOT a scrap-booking type of person and I certainly am far from anything resembling "creative", but the one thing I have done everyday for nearly 11 years is run. Even when I was nine months pregnant I was out pounding the pavement big belly and all! And let me tell you, I got some crazy looks! I LOVE to run everyday whether on the treadmill, with my little man in the jogging stroller, or outside on my own running.
      At times I've run well and at other times I have just been lucky enough to get my few miles in each day. Yet running has become my sounding board, stress relief, think time, source of confidence and just my "me" time! When I have a bad day the first thing I want to do is run it off!  If I have a great day the best way for me to celebrate is to go on a long run!   My goal is to share a little of my life with you and hopefully learn about other moms out there in blog land that carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and yet still make time to run!


Happy running to all!
