Reebok’s motto (according to the little hang tag thingy on my most recent purchase) says “Find your own fitness.” I like that. Whether we’re into fitness for the fun of it, for health reasons, or for the competitive spirit, and regardless of whether we’re running, bicycling, jogging, walking, or swimming, we are up and moving.

Athleta is coming to Richmond, Virginia at Short Pump Town Center
10/02/2013 by
When I find something I like, I tend to stick with it. I’ve used the same brand of pen for nearly 20 years (Pilot, in case you’re wondering), and I’ve owned a Ford for at least 18 years. Clothing, on the other hand, is something I’m a little more fickle about. If it fits and […]
Howl-O-Scream 2013: Busch Gardens ups the ante for Halloween events everywhere
09/20/2013 by
How do you take an already great Halloween event and make it even better? If you’re an ordinary theme park, you add themed dining to the venue and call it a day. If you’re Busch Gardens, you add themed dining and insert amazingly talented actors into it for an extraordinary dinner theatre experience. Oh, […]

Newly appointed Grand Ole Opry member and front man of Hootie and the Blowfish, Darius Rucker performed to a sold out crowd at Richmond’s Innsbrook After Hours concert series.

Busch Gardens: Mom and Me Meet-Up with Mom Central founder Stacy DeBroff
06/19/2013 by
We watched wolves, fed lorikeets and flew over Europe, all without ever leaving Williamsburg, Virginia. The natural fun of walking, riding thrill rides, enjoying beautiful landscaping and learning about conservation was better than any iPad, Wii or Internet provider could have offered. We weren’t even deterred by a few drops of rain. Along with a […]

RVA Dessert Diary: Part 1
05/08/2013 by
While not on the mainstream foodie front as such cities as San Francisco, NYC or L.A., Richmond has a restaurant scene all its own. From elegant settings in refurbished tobacco warehouses to the casual coziness of exposed brick and beams to the tried and true, hole-in-the-wall eateries that only the locals know about, there is a […]

Recently, I entered one of those Facebook giveaways. You know the drill, you comment, like or share in order to get a chance at some sort of a prize. I do this stuff all the time (sorry FB feed friends). Well, this time I actually won. No, I don’t know how many others entered. I […]
From the Bow of a Boat: Tree Frogs, Fish Tacos and Samplings of Summer
04/22/2013 by
We took the boat out for the first ride of the year last weekend. It’s always nice to get back out on the water after a long, cold winter. We do most of our boating and jet-skiing in the James River or Lake Anna, which is in Louisa County, Virginia. This particular trip was to Lake […]
