I like to do a little bit of everything.
I have five kids.
I love a good book.
I take pictures from my iphone.
I am a want-to-be runner who loves chocolate and diet coke a little too much.
I don’t often spell check my posts.
Oh, and I love to make lists.
In June 2007 a little blogspot was born. My Reading Spot. I loved reading and sharing what I was reading. My husband was a busy-busy medical student and I was a stay home mom to two little boys with extra time on my hands. My little blog had ups and downs and had a good run. I did some author interviews. I received free books for reviews. I even was quoted on the back of a book once!
Then life happened.
3 more kids. My husband entered residency. Many hours and hours of hard work. And I let life get in the way of my little Reading Spot.
Fast forward 10 years:
We are now a family of 7. We currently live with my father in law while we build our medical practice, so I always just answer that there are 8 in our family. It’s a nice even number 🙂 I work for my husband and have a run little Rodan+Fields side business. I love their products and I have so much fun with my team.
I get creative and find time to read between it all.
A couple years ago on of my sisters got me hooked on running. Honestly, I just wanted to lose the 20 pounds I had put on since baby number five. When I started I couldn’t run an entire mile without stopping to walk. I just would tell myself over and over, I can do hard things. Since then I’ve run 13 half marathons and a finally finished a full marathon last fall. I’m not sure I’ll every drop the pounds, but I AM stronger.
I am not fast. I am not an expert. But I am a runner.
2018 will be my 5th year to read 100 books in a year, I’m striving for 5!
I am a Mormon. I am Christian. I like a good clean book. I am not afraid to put a book down if I don’t like it.
I read.
I run.
I blog.
I’m excited for this new adventure.
