Mommy Is Not A Sippy Cup
Since Levi is now officially weaned, I thought I’d share a little about my adventures in breastfeeding. Prior to Levi’s arrival, I was more worried about breastfeeding than his birth. Breastfeeding an infant up to eight times a day for a year seemed daunting. So being a good former journalist, I researched the heck out of how to breastfeed and asked my… Read more →

Bicycling with Baby
Bicycling Pre-Baby For several years before our son, Levi, was born, my husband, Dave, and I participated in Ready2Roll Cycling‘s training series to prepare for the MS150, which we rode together in 2011 and 2012.

It’s a three-hour drive from Houston, although on the way there we took a slightly longer, more scenic route. After much time in the concrete… Read more →
