The Life and Style of a Mother Runner with Scoliosis
It's your not-so-typical Natalie/Connor Friday night here at the happiest place on earth. Instead of gallivanting around the parks as per usual, we are lounging in our room before dinner, awaiting the much-anticipated event of the last few months: the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. This is the first half marathon for us both and just... Continue Reading →
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty, and meet me tonight in Atlantic City. -Bruce Springsteen- Atlantic City, New Jersey: a place I've been to only once and actually never thought I'd find myself back in. Until this weekend, that is. The casino atmosphere has zero appeal and I'm not much of a beach... Continue Reading →
I've had a few little birdies lately (you know who you are and thank you!) give me some much-needed encouragement to start writing again and jump back on the blogging train. Well, it worked—I am back! Though sometimes I still feel like this: Writing is like a muscle; you've got to consistently train and work hard... Continue Reading →
We're back in New Jersey after a long, relaxing (and much-needed) vacay in Wisconsin. This is also the first post of 2015, which makes it the perfect time for a 15 for 15 list!

Just. Keep. Walking. You know, Dory was right: When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Well, for my boss Annie and I, it's more like Just keep walking (and in keeping with our preferred method of marketing lingo: #imawalkdis) With our two-year walkaversary... Continue Reading →
#wdwnatcon That's right, we used a hashtag for our Disney trip (thanks for the inspiration, Meghan). Five fun-filled days of excellent food, drinks, and, of course, the kind of magic one can only get on a Walt Disney World vacation. Quick back story: I haven't been down to WDW in two and a half years; The Boy... Continue Reading →
It occurred to me Sunday afternoon, as I was rummaging around in the refrigerator (and noticed that we have four—yes four—cold Wisconsin pumpkin beers), that The Boy and I have not done a pumpkin beer tasting at all this season, and Halloween is only a few days away. Oh. The. Humanity. So what better time... Continue Reading →
When The Boy and I moved into our apartment in Princeton in August 2013, we had recently traveled up to Providence, Rhode Island to see some friends and enjoy some theater...naturally, we came back with a growler from Trinity Brewing Company (like ya do). Not quite knowing what to do with the growler, we just... Continue Reading →
