Asked the kids to get ready to go to Target and this is what I got: Jelly Bean pants-less and shoe-less while Son #3 has on two hats, a scarf, two pairs of gloves, snow bibs, two coats and boots. Note that neither is seasonally appropriate. Pretty sure this does not say good things about …
Despite living in some disaster-prone places in my life (looking at you Seattle and your SIX* active volcanoes within eyesight), I’ve been fortunate to have avoided major catastrophe. I was in Seattle for their big earthquake in 2002 but other than getting a little nauseated from watching the pavement literally roll in front of me, …
“For not as good results drag behind car through puddles and blow dry on roof rack.” YESSSS! I have actually done this. (Not on purpose but it still ended up with a nice fresh scent!)Disaster was in the cards, er, dryer sheets, from the beginning on that fateful day. Whether it had been too …
I’ll admit it: People have called me unstable before. And while I don’t think they always meant it as a compliment when it comes to my workouts, I’ll totally take it! Instability training – the practice of doing certain exercise moves while slightly off balance – has been a hot trend in fitness for a …

A couple weeks ago, Jelly Bean and I got to do a little shopping and photoshoot with Athleta as part of their #ShareYourOm month! All photobombs courtesy of my cat, Luna. Seriously cats must think we are SO WEIRD. This week is going to be AWESOME here at the GFE! I’ve got 5 amazing giveaways …
This pic is from my Great CrossFit Experiment a few years ago and… I almost didn’t post it at the time because I was embarrassed by my “big quads”. Now I’m just embarrassed that there’s no weight on the bar and my wrists are so bent! (In my defense, we were using un-weighted bars to …
This woman is actually an Athleta model. Sit around and just look cute? I think not! (They even have an interview with her up on their blog!) Their catalog permanently resides in my bedroom. The sale tab on their website is where I’ll go browse when I’m stressed out and just need a minute. (Yes, …

You like my pull-up tree? This is the spastic pull-up, you might not have seen it done before. There is frog kicking involved. Fashion mags will tell you that every woman needs a “little black dress” or LBD, a blank canvas if you will for all your sartorial choices both present and future. If you …
