Advice To New Mothers

I certainly do not claim to be an expert, in fact very far from it, but here are a few things I know for sure about motherhood: 1. No matter how many anti-bacterial products you use or times you wash your hands or your child’s hands throughout the day, children are a cesspool of germs…

In Her Shoes

I’m a walker. I’m a stroller pusher (although these days, Lucas would rather run up ahead). I’m a comfort seeker. I’m a park goer. I’m a networker. I’m a beach comber. I’m a diva. I’m a mom. Linking up with Alicia’s Wordless Wednesdays. Related Posts:A Day In The Life Spring Break 2012Mesmerized

The Fine Art Of Relaxing

Never is it harder for me to relax than when someone asks me to. I try. I really do, but it seems I wasn’t built with that gene. A glass or two of wine certainly helps, as does a napping child, or a really great workout, but in large part I’m constantly in motion. I’d…

Cravings

Since I was 17, I’ve lived in a perpetual state of missing someone or something. Topping my list has always has been my parents. At 17, I went to boarding school for my senior year of high school and never lived under the same roof as them again. I missed them (and my sister) tremendously,…

A Strange Encounter

Happy Indpendence Day!  A few weeks ago, I bamboozled Lucas into going to the park by way of the bank, thus taking the very l o n g way to the park so that I could get in some exercise. While we were standing in line at the bank, he started fussing. In other words,…

Ritual Cleanse – Half Way Point

It took every ounce of willpower that I had this morning not to head straight for IHOP. I woke up ready to eat like a horse and had a nasty headache. Instead of a full stack of pancakes with a side order of bacon and a large Diet Coke, I drank another Ritual Cleanse juice…

Time To Detox

My husband and I are doing something utterly insane this week. Well, okay, it’s not that crazy, people do it all the time. In fact, little did I know, Todd has actually done it several times in the past and for a lot longer period of time. What are we doing? We are cleansing! For…

Not Just Another Three Days

The 2010 Susan G. Komen San Francisco Bay Area 3-Day for the Cure began with an emotional Opening Ceremony on a foggy, windy morning at Cow Palace. From there we headed north into San Francisco and walked along the Great Highway with gorgeous ocean views. Some notable memories along the way included the “Manbulance” sweep…

Save The Ta-Tas

Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. – Steven Wright I am putting all my walking to good use and have signed up for the 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. This will be my third time participating in this event and second time with my sister, Leah. I walked in…
