We picked a few of our favorite triathlete holiday gifts this year and wanted to share them with you guys. We have raced Rev3 (or our triathletes have), tasted wines from OSC Wines (and definitely approve), and our triathletes have used Every Man Jack products for a few years now. So, all are tried, tested, and make us happy…. FAVORITE TRIATHLETE HOLIDAY GIFTS REV3 TRIATHLONS…

Our holiday gift guides last year were filled with many out of the ordinary gift ideas – we figured you could find the usual ones on your own. We discovered, got from fellow triwives at recent races, or thought up some more for this year that we really love, so are updating our holiday gift guide for 2014. Some general thoughts….You know your triathlete, so…

Okay, moms, let’s talk reality! We honestly do have the best laid out plans, but how many times do we forget about us in those plans? And, it’s not simply forgetting, but rather it’s pushing our needs aside to meet those of our kids, significant others, four-legged kids, getting settled in a new house and community, and then all those wonderful things we volunteer for….

It has been a VERY eventful 2014 for us and we have certainly taken the good with the bad. It has proven just how life has a way of rerouting your best laid plans, how precious it all is, and how NONE of it can be taken for granted…. Through it all, we ended up having so much to be grateful for. We decided to…

It was bound to happen at some point. After doing close to 20 full Ironman races, the odds are stacking against you. They say pretty much every triathlete encounters this during their “career”, including most pros. It’s just part of the sport. To what am I referring? Ugh…The DNF…. Well, it happened to my trihubby at Ironman Arizona. He had a really good swim, was…

None of us have ever been to Ironman Cozumel, but with the race coming up on November 30, we wanted to get you some information if you’re going. One of our readers, Nanci Hulting, was kind enough to provide us with some travel, food, fun, and spectating tips from when her husband did the race in 2012. For your information, it is a one-loop swim, a…

It has officially been six months since my husband, David, was hit by a drunk driver while out on a training ride on his bike (I still tear up when I say or write that). This past week was Ironman Arizona which was to be his “A” race of 2014. You can only imagine the emotion in our house race day, when he was tracking…

We are so excited to share a seasonal muffin recipe with you that you can make year round from our friend, Janelle Shank, at Bakes in Slippers. Janelle went to culinary school and graduated with her baking and pastry certificate, quickly realizing that everyday baking wasn’t for her. Soon, an interest in recipe development, food photography, and food writing lead to the decision to start…

This post will be short and sweet. On the plane coming to Ironman Arizona, I read a feature in Bazaar magazine called, “What’s In Our Clutches?” My mind immediately changed clutches to backpacks and hence, the making of a new post was born. We’ve written an article telling you what you SHOULD have in your backpack, but I wanted to know what was REALLY in…

Well, we thought it was a great plan when we built our house… We recently moved to Omaha and live downtown in the wonderful Old Market. We took several apartments in a boutique building and combined them into our home on a wonderful southeast corner that gets the morning and day sun. It is beautiful and we love it! It was about a year ago…

I asked my husband what was most memorable to him about the Four Seasons and this is what he said. “I love how we get there at night and you drive down this long road and there’s this anticipation. You pull up to the main building and are greeted so warmly, it’s so quiet, and you’re just taken care of. Then you go to…

We believe that life should be done well. From travel to food to fabulous finds, life should be lived with gusto, style, and sparkle, along with generosity and kindness. Because a life done well isn’t just about a luxury lifestyle, but it’s a great start!
