Weekend for Two
August 13, 2018 { 56 comments }The weekend was…long. My intention is not to make my blog pity party central but the reality is that I’m struggling.

February 11, 2018 { 3 comments }Happy Sunday. I hope you’ve enjoyed the weekend. Mine has been very non-eventful, as was the entire last week.

June 17, 2015 { 22 comments }Someone left a comment on my last post that they bet this final Florida post would contain wedding pictures.

Why I Told My Yoga Class to Eat Pizza + Playlist
December 17, 2014 { 10 comments }I am feeling the holiday crazies something serious this year.

Recent Eats & Renovations
July 15, 2014 { 20 comments }Good morning. First, this. The light of my life. Second, this. That would be my gutters, removed from the house, sitting in my front yard.

Oh Homeownership
August 31, 2013 { 9 comments }Help! Today there has been a (gross) toilet on my front porch. And I emptied my kitchen cabinets and gave them a thorough scrubbing.

You Never Know

Puppies & Pizza
July 9, 2013 { 29 comments }It’s after midnight. I tried to go to bed but it’s 77 degrees in my house, the air conditioner sounds like a freight train and I can’t sleep. So hello!

Weekend Part 2 – Bad Movies, Cookouts and Workouts
April 8, 2013 { 13 comments }On Saturday night I saw one of the worst movies I’ve seen in quite a while. Maybe it’s not fair to say “the worst” because it wasn’t that the acting, special effects, etc was that bad…it was more the overwhelming amount of graphic action. It was Olympus Has Fallen. I just cannot hang with nonstop [...]

Running nutrition lesson…despite [...]

We Are Complete
September 11, 2012 { 34 comments }Last year at this very moment I was teaching my Sunday morning hot yoga class on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Crash And Burn
August 24, 2012 { 12 comments }It’s 9 p.m. on Friday night and I’m sitting on the couch under a blanket drinking chai tea and watching TLC. I ate a frozen meal for dinner. To give myself credit, it was from Trader Joe’s and actually tasted great. I tend to get in patterns where I go, go, go and then crash. [...]
