Too Old to be an Athlete?

I've always been jealous of athletic people. I didn't play sports growing up, mostly because I'm uncoordinated. And I don't participate in group physical activity (team sports, yoga classes, etc.) because I always feel awkward, out-of-shape and embarrassed. But I'm envious of people have a knack for sports, have coaches who train them and own cool sports equipment that they know how to use and I can just look at. They seem to have a lock on a piece of life that is rewarding and unique. I'm the outsider looking in.  Read more >

Things are getting a little chippy at my blog, Ice Pact. What I thought was a fairly random post sparked a little fun debate. I jokingly said I had failed as a hockey mom. Apparently I also failed as a figure skating mom. Wonder how this will end...   Read more >

Conflicting Thoughts about Menu Labeling

I always thought I wanted calories listed on menu labels. After this weekend, I'm not so sure. The Kid had his final t-ball game of the season yesterday and afterward we went to a favorite post-game lunch spot, the Silver Diner. Burgers, fries, milkshakes and...calories listed on the menu. Talk about a buzz kill. I ignored the huge number of calories next to the pesto, red pepper and turkey sliders. But I remembered it later and skated extra hard that afternoon.  Read more >

I can't believe I registered at BlogHer a year and a half ago and haven't done anything here. Ever. I started my blog about a year and a half ago and through my job I knew about BlogHer. So I just had to register. Take advantage of the great resources and information. "Meet" great writers. Have fun. Yeah, didn't do any of it. It was partially the old format. It didn't feel "comfortable." And I'm not at all a techie, so navigating forms and tags and blah, blah, blah...I decided with BlogHer, I'd gotten in way over my head.   Read more >

About Me: 

I'm a mom to an amazing son who has made me laugh out loud everyday since he was born.  

I'm a history book and red wine lover -- often at the same time.

I love hockey (and follow all sports just enough to be able to have conversations with my sports-crazy husband.) I'm learning how to ice skate and love every minute of it. 

I'm a communications professional working on nutrition science and health issues. I'm new at actively engaging in social media -- finally practicing what I've preached. 

I might be addicted to the Washington Post, CNN and The Onion.

I'm a better person after a morning workout and one good strong cup of coffee.

I'm excited to be "meeting", sharing and learning from the interesting and inspiring people at this forum and others.

Cheers!
