Be a Tourist in your Own City
Homaha Because I was born and raised in Omaha, there hasn’t really been a time I haven’t loved my home city. Except for that brief moment in high school when I was taking classes at The Rose Theatre and fantasized about moving to NYC to be a Broadway actress. However, after a two-week stint in […]
Three Workouts with Mom
For me, the chances of sliding out of the house undetected for an hour of alone gym time is exactly 0%, and a membership that allows for in-facility daycare is not an option, either.

The three-year old sleeping diagonally chirps in, “Can I have chocolate milk?” Ah, the life. After getting everyone their milk, I’m sure to […]
The Single Baby Side of Life

Forward-Focused Questioning with Kids
At the beginning of this year, I made it a goal to be more aware of what there is to be grateful for in my life. I am also trying to have a more “half cup full” mentality. During a series of leadership training, I have recently been introduced to forward-focused questions. The intention is […]
