This Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner will make your dinner choice and clean up a breeze. And who wouldn’t love that! There are so many nights I really don’t want to do the dishes, I mean who does? But, this is especially true for me in the summer when I’d much rather be outside. Plus, I have the twins home, so I’m trying to get as…

We’ve collected a few tidbits of good information over the years, as we’re sure most of you have. So, let’s make all of our lives just a bit easier AND…

I had a very interesting thing happen at my last triathlon. I was lucky enough to be at the race with an amazing group of wives from the Ironman XC group. But, I got separated; then the twins went for waters; and then this happened… I found myself standing next to a trisupporter who literally complained about everything the entire time we were together. Granted,…

Most of us married to triathletes have an active role in what nourishment they put into their bodies. I, probably, am more active those most as cooking is one of my true loves. I spend a lot of time experimenting in the kitchen, talking to experts, and reading. So, when it comes to fueling David for his training and races, I feel it’s imperative that…

Last summer, my trihubby and I went to the Jarden Westchester Triathlon to support a friend who was doing his first Olympic Distance race (shout out to Bob – so proud of you). While it was Bob’s first race, it was also my first pure spectator’s race. I realized every triathlon I have attended was because Carl was racing. I had never been to one without…

I travel a lot, but more often than not, it’s based on my husband’s triathlete training and race schedule or the kids’ activities and not my dream vacation. But, every once in awhile, I take the opportunity to travel just for me and go where I want. See, I’m quite happy and comfortable to travel solo – which I realize makes me something of…

When I got back from the last race, I had a realization – being a triwife can be a very lonely experience. Not only are you left at home alone while your triathlete does his/her countless hours of training, but unless you go with someone to a race, you spend much of the spectating day on your own. This is often true even in the…

When making dinner the other night, I was 10 minutes from getting it on the table when my daughter asked, “Can we have biscuits and honey?” Who am I to say no, but since I didn’t want to leave the kitchen and go to the store, I decided to use what I had on hand and make my own biscuits. So, I just started yelling…

We lived in London for several years just a few years back and truly loved it – me probably a bit more than my husband. I can explain that easily by the fact that he actually had to go to work everyday and I was always on vacation! While I was very sad to leave, I still get to come back to visit at least…

When you think of all the places around the world we could travel to and race, the Woodlands, Texas, outside of hot, sticky Houston does not come to mind. Sorry Houston. Japan, Mallorca, Puerto Rico, or South Africa – YES! Woodlands, Texas – NO! But, we keep coming back for some reason… Whether you travel there for vacation, business, or to do Ironman triathlons, which…

I love having guests visit my home as I enjoy having people fill the house, well, most of the time. But, along with opening up my house for visitors, comes a responsibility to try to make them feel comfortable and right at home. I’ve found over the years that it doesn’t really take a lot of effort or expense, just a few niceties and here…
