Boobs and Bunions
We realize this is a gender specific post, having the potential to alienate anyone not at all interested in the topic. That is entirely up to you dear reader, but please be aware that it is a subject near and dear to the hearts of many women who will possibly benefit substantially from reviewing the following. Because we are gifted with what I would refer to as “Boobage”, women are often faced with a dilemma when it comes to working out. Your everyday, ordinary bra simply will not do when one is jumping, running and even walking, in the pursuit of physical fitness. Hence the need for a bra that…

Little Sis Lets Loose
Once we are allowed to start travelling again, The Sisterhood will start walking again. Being the optimist that I am and in preparation for that next big 5K walk, I bravely decided to go back to the gym. The first thing I noticed was not how out of shape I was, but the lack of common courtesy displayed by fellow gym members, which is the inspiration for this post.

Mom Always Liked You Best
When one of my siblings recently said to me that they thought I was mom’s favorite, my first thought was who has time to have a favorite when you have five kids to raise?? But, when I thought about it, I wondered if it wasn’t that I was her favorite, but that she and I had many things in common. This was true from the moment I was born. Mom and I were both born in the month of October, in fact I was just a couple of hours from being born on her birthday. More than once mom said that she wished we had the same birthday. but alas,…

How Are You?…. No Really, How Are You?
We all do it. Without a second thought we ask acquaintances and even strangers that standard, polite question: "How are you?" Those three words may even escape our lips several times a day. Then we wait for the standard, polite response: "Fine, thanks" or "Good, thanks." And that is pretty much that.

For the Love of the Game
I am sitting in a bar (as usual) in Cave Creek, Arizona. With me is my husband, Big Sis, and my brother in law. Unfortunately, Middle Sis could not make the trip. She is however with us in a likeness on a cardboard stick...the best we could do on short notice. :-) I think she is really enjoying herself.

February is the Shortest Month….
Like most people, I am convinced that years from now, the year 2020 will be remembered as a watershed, momentous time in our history. When it began, I was determined to spend it being creative, innovative and positive. Every month, I was going to do something spectacular! Little did I know that my intention would be taken entirely out of my hands, and depend upon the course of Covid-19. With that in mind, I offer thoughts from a point in time when life was still quite “normal” and we could to a certain extent control how our destiny unfolded. What follows then, now seems quite naive and self absorbed, but…

I Married a Vegan
Well, it didn't start out that way. Forty plus years ago when we first met, my husband was your typical meat and potatoes guy. He has always been health conscious and works hard to stay in shape.

Fitness is Fun!
Our Sisterhood blog and Instagram posts have often alluded to our "fondness for fitness"....and its true, we do believe that fitness is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. In fact, even when we are not exercising, we are certainly thinking about doing it, (some of us spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about doing it) The obvious conclusion is that although we are in general agreement as to the health benefits of exercise, we each incorporate varying levels of it into our daily routine.

“We’ll Never See These People Again….”
Senior Athletic Adventure Canada was a brilliant idea. There was, however, a minor glitch.....Kerri just couldn't remember the name. (If you are a member of a group, it's important to know the name of said group). We tried using just the initials SAAC and even "S double A C", to no avail. It became painfully obvious that a name change was in order.....hence, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Shoes was born.

We are the Sisterhood
We have really enjoyed telling you Mom's story. In doing so, we have remembered many happy times and just how much fun she was. Our main intent in writing the blog was to honor her with adventures and lots of fun activities. We feel it's time to do just that, but first, we would like to introduce ourselves.
