food, fashion, fitness and family travel
NOTE: These are NOT gluten free. One of the boxed convenience foods I often fall back on is granola bars. I buy the ones from Cascadian Farms because they are organic, which means no GMOs (genetically modified ingredients) and because I like their story and believe the company truly does try to operate in a… Continue Reading →
I’ve been rather lazy this week with my photo-taking, and since I’m going to physical therapy 3X a week for my plantar fasciitis, I’ve been spending a lot of time in yoga pants. But here’s what I’ve got. Day 1 I have no recollection of what day this was or what I did. I was… Continue Reading →
Good Monday morning! Do I sound chipper? I do not feel chipper. I’ve been up for an hour and I’m on my second cuppa coffee (I usually just have one) and I’m finally starting to feel somewhat awake. I’m also feeling quite uninspired to plan my meals for the week. I wish someone could do… Continue Reading →
Yesterday I told you about how I reworked my elevator pitch and tried it out on a stranger at a conference luncheon and how that sparked an interesting conversation. “I write a lifestyle blog about cooking with nutritious whole foods, my newfound passion for fitness and running, and wearable fashion for the typical suburban housewife.”… Continue Reading →
I spent most of last week at a blogging conference so this isn’t really daily mom style as much as it is daily blogger conference style, but it’s still pretty relatable I think! I apologize in advance for the quality (or lack there off) of my photos. Some were selfies and others were taken by my… Continue Reading →
I crossed another item of my life’s bucket list this morning – I went running on the beach at the Pacific Ocean. (And yes, I stopped a stranger and asked her to take my picture.) My friend Trina and I had a frustrating travel day yesterday with our non-stop flight getting cancelled and having to rebook… Continue Reading →
I’m loving stripes right now, but the one article of clothing that I haven’t tried yet is the striped skirt. I used to think that horizontal stripes on a skirt would be unflattering, but the key is to find a skirt that fits properly. I personally feel that a pencil skirt is the most universally… Continue Reading →
She’s 7-and-a-half. So big in some ways and yet still so little. She comes downstairs each morning, bleary eyes fresh from slumber — always the first one up, even though her brother’s bus comes a full hour before hers. She stumbles into my office and climbs into my lap, interrupting my train of thought as I type… Continue Reading →
Where, oh where did my pretty spring go???? Where, oh where could it beeeeeee???? It’s been sooo coooold this week in Philly, but I am determined that my boots and winter coats are in hibernation until at least September so I’ve been doing the best I can to dress for spring without freezing my tuchus.… Continue Reading →
You wanna know something that gets my kids excited? Split Pea Soup. I know, they’re weird. But it really IS delicious. I always save my ham bones and make split pea soup with them. I grew up on this recipe, and it’s always a favorite. It’s economical, easy to make, and it goes a long… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
