Coffee surprise

Hey guys! I LOVED this morning’s discussion about the Paleo diet. I had a feeling it might be controversial because it seems to be a love it or hate it kinda thing, but way to be respectful of each other while voicing your opinions. You’re a classy bunch, so I wouldn’t expect anything less 😉…

Schweaty March Workout

Like many people, I tend to go through workout phases- find something new, love it, keep it up for a while, and then go back to the old standards. BodyPump comes to mind 😉 With all of the things I’ve tried, there have been 3 workout constants in my life: Zumba, yoga and weight lifting/gym…

How times have changed

Baby’s first birthday is a popular event in our squadron 🙂 It’s a lot of fun because all of the kids can play together, the girls can chat and the guys can hang out. It’s funny because every time we all get together -pretty much every weekend- the talk ends up turning to how weird/crazy…
