I L.O.V.E. being a mom. It’s THE best job. Today I woke up {at 9:30! Good man, Mr. V!} to 3 of the most adorable kidlets in the world, teeming with excitement as they handed me their Mother’s Day offering – a bowl of Raisin Bran & a handmade card. Sorry no play-by-play pics, ’cause in [...]

I’m Pathetic!

first workout since pregnancy = pathetic Heidi Seriously… I had a personal trainer whip my tushie this morning! I was legitimately on the ground, completely nauseous after 40 minutes (okay, okay… 30 minutes… can we say lameo?).  My trainer was probably shocked by my complete lack of athletic ability! To his credit he was really [...]
