State of the run
Despite a few high points (Center of the Nation series, Runner’s World Half and Festival weekend, and surviving the Marine Corps Marathon), I’ve had a rough fall when it comes to running. It took me almost two full months to recover from bronchitis and be able to breathe completely normally on a run again. Meanwhile,…

A Very Merry Christmas Survey
Merry Christmas Eve from the MCM Mama household. I couldn’t resist a quick little survey I saw on Jill Conyer’s blog about how we celebrate the holidays. Egg Nog or hot chocolate?

Egg, nut, and dairy free Halloween cupcakes
October is sugar month in our house. Between a mid-October birthday (how am I the mom of a TEEN now??) and a Halloween birthday (yes, Shoo was born ON Halloween) and Halloween itself, it seems like I am always baking in this house during October. Sadly, I’m not the best baker in the world. Add…
