Today was my last workout with the softball team until after the holiday break. On Tuesday, two players asked if we could do some fun games for the last conditioning session. I said I’ll see what I can come up with. We played Red Light, Green Light so we worked on sprinting and stopping. Then…

Treat Yourself
Sometimes you have to splurge and treat yourself. If you know me, you know I’m a bargain hunter (just ask my friend Megan about some of our infamous shopping trips when we were younger).

Boxed In

Falling in Love with the Season
I love summer. I like warm weather. And while summer is my favorite season, fall is not far behind. There is something special about the crisp air and crunching leaves that make fall pretty high up on the best seasons list. While leaves are not fun to rake, they are fun to play in, at…
