I never would have expected life-sized dinosaurs to be able to hide in the scenery, especially when I was looking for them.

I never dreamed I would run a half marathon in my lifetime, and certainly not as the mother of two toddlers who was 20 pounds overweight. But then I learned about Rett Syndrome and an awesome nonprofit working to bring an end to it. Girl Power 2 Cure, a national group headquartered right here on [...]
