Learning to ride a bike

Learning to ride a bike

  My son learned to ride a bike a couple of weekends ago. OK, he didn’t learn entirely in one weekend but pretty close to it. He got a bike for his birthday and rode his new bike a little at his grandparent’s house. But this was the first weekend he biked at home. This was the first [...]

Why I won’t give up beer

Prospect Park

I hope that everyone had a great weekend and wonderful Mother’s Day. We took a trip with friends and their kids to New Jersey to see dinosaurs. Yup. Life-size dinosaurs that move and roar. That was followed by a trip to the grocery store and to Lowe’s to buy plants and potting soil. Isn’t that [...]

Friday Round-Up: Time to be a hero

Reverse Warrior

This week. This week! Oy. Can someone fast forward to June for me? Pretty please? I didn’t do the best job planning out my schedule and, as a result, I am barely keeping my head above water. Timelines for two big client projects have managed to merge and overlap with each other as well as with [...]

The First Step

  I’m so happy to have Coco here today! She always has insightful thoughts about life and running that are often sprinkled with humor.

12 ways to Quinoa

Oh Pinterest. You are a thing of beauty, aren’t you? Mostly, I like to daydream on Pinterest – look at the pretty pictures, daydream about vacations and surf spots, and kitchen renovations. It’s also a great place to gather some of my favorite recipes and workouts. My friend Lindsay had an idea for a Pin It Party for [...]

Stop Trying to Achieve Balance

Stop trying to achieve balance

  Last night, I attended and event hosted by the SITS Girls and sponsored by Invisalign. The event itself was great and focused on the business of blogging. However, that’s not what I want to talk about today. There was one thing that Tiffany and Fran said about how to find balance in life that has been [...]

Friday Round-Up: What defines you?

spring blossoms

Oh hi Friday. I think that I’m glad to see you. I mean, in theory I am because it’s the end of the week but I’m not sure that my weekend will be a real weekend. I’ve been stuck in meetings all week, leaving me with lots of work to catch up on over the [...]
