One of the first stops on my trip to NYC was the Lion Brand Yarn Studio , a place that wasn’t around back when we lived in the city. I’ve always liked Lion Brand yarn, but now I’m in love with the yarn and the company and have the badge to prove it. The Lion […]

I always thought my mom was cheesy if not lying when she said she loved my dad more 30, 40, & even 50 years later than the day she married him. But after 16 years of marriage, I can say the very same thing. I hardly recognize that 18 year old girl and that 22 […]

Just when we thought we were completely spent of energy, we got a text from our final runner, Elise, out on the course on her final leg. All it said was “I’m coming in hot!” Or in other words, “I’m running super fast so you better be ready and waiting for me when I come […]

But, I needed to figure out how to customize our relay team shirts with our first names across the back. At the […]

One of the things I’ve always disliked about running a relay with two vans and a full team of 12 is that you really don’t ever get to see your other van. It never really feels like one cohesive team. Running the Southern California Ragnar Relay race with Team Sparkle as an ultra team meant […]

I was pretty excited to be runner 5 and 11 on our ultra relay Team for So Cal Ragnar. Mostly because my first leg would run through familiar territory and leg 17 included a killer downhill. Leg 5 through the City of Orange: While the first leg of mine was short, it was unbearably hot […]

I’ve made two of these Barbra Streisand Concert Tee Baby gowns in the past month since I happen to have not one, but two friends who are obsessed with Barbra. Each one of these friends is either pregnant or just had a baby. Look at this little cutie; a Barbra fan in the making. Find […]
