Finn and I had a holly jolly weekend and I can’t believe we’re just two weeks out from Christmas. Personally, I’m trying to focus on enjoying the whole of the holiday season and and not put all the emphasis on the actual day. I like making the time between Thanksgiving and New Years fun and [...]

Life-y Life
November 19, 2023 { 1 comment }Hello my friends. I am sitting down to write this post by Christmas tree light. I think this is the earliest that I have ever put up my tree but it worked best from a timing/logistics standpoint. We are traveling for Thanksgiving and won’t get back until the Monday after. Finn will be with his [...]

Peaks and Valleys
November 27, 2019 { 16 comments }Happy Thanksgiving lovely friends. Life is full of peaks and valleys but one thing that has become abundantly clear to me since becoming a mom is how powerful gratitude is in accessing happiness, joy and love no matter if I’m high on a peak or low in a valley.

Santa Baby
December 19, 2018 { 12 comments }This post is going to be all baby so you have been warned! Look who hit seven months yesterday! I love this age/stage that we’re in so much. Finn is so expressive and full of personality, babbling up a storm, playing a lot but not yet moving. I know that life is going to change [...]

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. When my editor told me my book deadline was January 5 and apologized for the holiday timeline, I didn’t think much of it. Now that I’m in the moment…I have to admit that I’m dying a little.

How To Rebound from an Indulgent Holiday
April 21, 2014 { 22 comments }Yesterday my Instagram and Facebook feeds were full of sweet family photos, beautiful Easter dresses, babies with bunny ears, Easter dinner spreads, mimosas and the like.

Approximation
December 23, 2013 { 15 comments }One of my yoga teachers is always telling us to “approximate the pose” to the best of our abilities. How you do a pose might not look like the yogi practicing next to you, a photo in Yoga Journal or the way Krishnamacharya would do it but it’s the right way for you and your [...]

A Festive Sunday
December 2, 2012 { 20 comments }I taught yoga this morning, took from my favorite teacher this afternoon, baked gingerbread, bought holiday candles, had brunch with friends and am now curled up on the couch under a blanket with wine and How The Grinch Stole Christmas on TV. I think that classifies as a good day? Breakfast before teaching yoga this [...]

Twas the Night Before Christmas
December 24, 2010 { 11 comments }And all through the house, many creatures were stirring…because there are presents left to wrap. I would really rather be reading in bed. We have been going nonstop the for the last few days – so much to do to prep for holiday travel. We finally got on the road around 10 a.m. today and [...]
