Fun with Marshmallow Peeps
This Sunday is Easter, which means I will be very, very busy. Playing with Peeps, of course. I mean, I like to eat the sugary Easter candy, too (especially stale ones!), but there are plenty of other things to do with Peeps! Disclaimer: When I was a pre-teen/teenager/living at home, I always asked my mom’s... Read more »

Marvel at the Human Body at the Museum of Science & Industry
The human body is pretty amazing, isn’t it? Nearly 28 feet of intestines pack neatly inside our bellies, our kidneys filter an average of 2.2 pints of blood per minute, and each human being has fingerprints that are completely different from anyone else’s. Every square inch of your skin contains 20 feet of blood vessels... Read more »

Meet The Blogger

I’m a 26-year-old who is passionate about many things, and still trying to figure out exactly what I want to be when I grow up. I love empowering young women, training for and participating in triathlons (because calling what I do racing is a stretch), and giving a voice to all the thoughts floating around in my head.

I also enjoy rocking out to Hanson (yes, the band that hit it big with “Mmmbop” in 1997), watching Glee with my husband, giggling with my girl friends, and drinking way too much Diet Coke.
