It’s no secret; I play Roller Derby. I love strapping on my skates, working til I sweat and, you guessed it, hitting people. But I’ve got another secret. I’m about to make it not a secret. It’s game day (bout day, match day, scrimmage hour, awesome unicorn pony super time). And I’m excited to watch …
I had another conversation recently that highlights the misconception that because I don’t sit at a job 9-5 I don’t work. I thought about putting up a passive agressive facebook post about it, then thought better and decided to share my feelings on the matter in a more verbally satisfying format. This is more a …
In May, I will celebrate three years of Roller Derby. Now, this isn’t three easy years we’re talking about. Let’s have a little story time. In May 2010 my husband encouraged me to meet with a local Roller Derby league (I haven’t ever asked him if he regrets that decision….) I was cautiously excited as …
Alright. I’ve been sitting on this post for a bit now. Well, at least since last week. It’s going to be a tough one because there are so many things I want to say and express and I’m not totally sure I get all the feels I’m having right now about things. I have wanted …

Someone had mentioned at last month’s group meeting that we should start keeping some lists of all the places/brands/restaurants that offer gluten-free options. Below I have shared several of my personal favorite blogs, stores I like and brands of GF items I find to be the best. These are all my personal opinions and our …
Apparently me and goal writing is a big no-no. As soon as pinned up 2012’s goals I promptly avoided looking at them daily and shied away from anything resembling a blog. I have been writing in some journals and have once again started several stories that have potential. Which means they are gathering dust as …
I am looking forward to 2012; I hope it is filled with writing, cooking, health and happiness. May your New Year be filled with hope and wonder as well!
It’s that time of year again. Time for Silver Bells and Deck the Halls and a little Pa-rum-pa-pa-pumming. I was ambivalent going into this year’s Christmas Season. We have all been a little run down and sick with something that creates a lot of mucous, preschool has us on our toes more than I thought …
Okay, so this is more than a week later. Quite a bit more. But to be fair, I was writing a novel, or at least attempting to. I did accomplish my word goal for Nanowrimo. Fifty thousand in thirty days! Whew! Who knew I had it in me. I learned a lot. I learned that …
