I’m a wife and mom. I’m a microbiologist. I’m a mountain biker, hiker, backpacker, sometime runner, and workout enthusiast all while being addicted to good food. I write about it at http://freneticfitness.wordpress.com. I also write for Arkansas Outside, a site dedicated to people who love to play outside in Arkansas. I’m fueled by pizza, red meat and goat cheese risotto. And sometimes I sleep.

I have been a lackadaisical spectator of the beauty that surrounds me.
In 2014, I choose to be an active participant in seeking experiences, recognizing and truly enjoying the beauty that surrounds me.
Follow The Park Wife on Instagram, that is where she is hanging out a lot these days.
