Hood to Coast 2011: The Vans

by This is Carrie on August 31, 2011

When it comes to preparing for a relay race, decorating the vans is super important (at least in my book).  Nuun hooked us up with big, white, 12 person vans – a beautiful, blank canvas for our “tie-dyed” psychedelic art to go along with our team name, AfterNuun Delight (which BTW, is a funny but […]

He Rides!

by This is Carrie on August 30, 2011

We owe it all to the Strider balance bike. They have revolutionized the way parents teach kids to ride their bikes.  Learn balance first then learn to pedal.  Brilliant. Learning to ride a bike using a Strider balance bike Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

Making Stuff: Appliquéd Burp Cloths

by This is Carrie on August 29, 2011

The “little-man” theme of the baby shower was taken from Emily of Remarkable Home.  She was nice enough to even provide a template for those cute cupcake toppers. The cute bow tie and mustache shapes were easy enough to turn into appliques to decorate a few burp cloths.  They were not only a great gift […]

Final Thoughts Before Hood to Coast 2011

by This is Carrie on August 25, 2011

My Nuun team’s official start time is 12:30pm Friday afternoon.  I’ll be wearing a purple Team Sparkle skirt (because grape nuun is my favorite flavor).  I’m hoping my experience at the Over the Hump Moutain Bike races, inhaling dusty air from 500 bikers while climbing steep hills will be enough to get me through the […]

Over the Hump Mountain Bike Race #8

by This is Carrie on August 21, 2011

For this race, we suited up in our Team Poseidon gear, determined to ride our very best as a birthday present to Todd.  The good news: we looked great and ended the race with smiles on our faces.  Bad news: we raced terribly.  Worst race of the season for all four of us. Carrie’s finish […]
