Do you know what’s awesome on a dreary winter day? Yes, okay, warm soup. And a fireplace. And a warm blanket that your mom crocheted for you (maybe that’s just me). And hot cocoa. I get it- warm stuff is really nice on a cold day. But do you know what will brighten your day … Continue reading »
One thing I love about my husband is that I can tell him anything without judgement. Except for one thing. One thing totally grossed him out. The other night, I confided in him that as a child, I used to eat Pepto-Bismol chewable tablets like candy. I would often sneak my parent’s Tums too. … Continue reading »
Before we went on vacation, I had this fantasy of lounging poolside with a tropical cocktail in hand, reading a book. It just sounds like part of the classic tropical vacation, right?

Chris and I try to prevent this from happening by having a small dessert after dinner … Continue reading »
Now that Easter is done (and all the candy is gone), it is time to get back on track. No more of this “eat-all-the-chocolate-you-want-because-calories-don’t-count-on-holidays-or-the-three-days-preceeding-them” attitude. It also means that the twins are back in school and I have to get to resume my morning gym/long run routine. Three or four mornings a week, I go … Continue reading »
Do you ever wish there was a way you could stick your head inside your blender so you can clean, with your tongue, the last traces of whatever it was that you made? No? Just me? Huh. Forget I mentioned it. I was informed recently that I would be going to Maui (yay!!!) in May. … Continue reading »
