Looking for Tough Mudders

Back in February, I received a notice about a Meetup group inviting me to train for a Tough Mudder event in September. The recommended training seems grueling, much less the event itself. I'm still soul searching and considering the event itself, but have begun participating in the training group to get my exercise butt into gear. Anyone care to join us? Wanna get muddy??? We're working toward building our running endurance right now and are looking forward to a 5k coming up in May. More on that later!

Below are some clips about the Tough Mudder event.

What Could've or Would've Been

Today (2/11/07), 5 years ago, was our angel baby's due week. It is so hard to imagine the possibility of having a 5-year-old right now instead of our 2 amazing gifts. God truly works in mysterious ways. I dedicate this post to our angel, and to ComfortCare Women's Health. Check out their important ministry at ifitspositive.com.

A Year of Baby

Thanks again to Sherri of Twist N Snap Photography for A's baby album! Below is a slideshow of our selected prints. Now, I need to get cracking on something for Z. I think I subconsciously knew that we are "two and through," so I wanted to make sure I did baby pictures "right" for A. I am not a scrap-booker, but I have some other ideas for what to do with Z's baby pictures, so we'll see how they turn out...

Mothering Magazine Archives

I've decided to share my digital issues (that have a share link) of Mothering magazine here. Before I had "Z," I subscribed digitally, trying to be "green," but sadly had little time to ever read them... So I gradually browse what I can. I've linked to Peggy O'Mara's beautiful essay, or the top story. Mothering is yet another defunct print publication and is now "web only."
