Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope you are enjoying your Mother’s Day. It’s gorgeous here in Philly. We attended church this morning and now I’m on my way out to my son’s first baseball game of the season. It doesn’t get much better than this! If this is a hard day for you due to the loss of your… Continue Reading →
Another PR!
I ran another 5K last night. Let me preface that by saying that I spent the day chaperoning a field trip with my daughter’s first grade class — to the Philadelphia Zoo. I’m pretty sure that every school in a 35-mile radius was at the zoon on a field trip yesterday. It was insanity. We… Continue Reading →
6 Steps to Update Your Personal Style
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 →
It’s Time to Stop Apologizing.
At the Mom 2.0 Summit last week, in one of the sessions I attended we were asked to write our elevator pitch — basically introducing our blog to someone in 30 seconds or less (the time you might have with a stranger in an elevator) and the challenge was to explain what makes ours different… Continue Reading →
The Springtime Beauty Routine {sponsored}
I think springtime is finally here to stay, and I’m happy to say buh-bye to dry, itchy skin. I was literally scratching my legs raw this past winter, and then not only did I have itchy legs, I had itchy legs with scabs. Pretty! And let’s not talk about my face. Dry, itchy patches around… Continue Reading →
Daily Mom Style 05.08.13
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 →

Scenes from Mom 2.0
I’m back home in the gritty Northeast and missing the palm trees and ocean breezes of the O.C. I’m sure if I lived there I would miss the change of seasons and all that, but I do like to daydream about moving our family to Southern California one day. Before I totally get back to… Continue Reading →
Weekly Dinner Menu Plan 05.06.13
Well, I made it to and from Laguna Niguel — albeit not without some travel drama, but safe and sound nonetheless so I’ll take that. Re-entry is always a bit rough, especially when dealing with different time zones, but I’m working on getting myself back into the swing of things! First things first, a meal… Continue Reading →
Hello from Laguna Beach!
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 →
