After a winter that did not want to quit, Mom Nature threw the heat on high this week. Not complaining at all because who doesn’t love some time in the broiler after 9 months of cold weather? My workouts were haphazardly cobbled together because work is off the leash as usual. It’s all good though, [Read More]
Coffee and MAYhem
It’s May, better known as MAYhem around here, and it’s time to sit down with Coco, Deborah and you to catch up over a cup of something nice. I’m going with my Starbucks Spring Day blend, splash of half & half and a scoop of collagen. What’ll you have? Over coffee I’d ask you if [Read More]

What Would You Do With a Week to Yourself?

It’s All Fun and Games Until the Closet Bar Falls
Oh hello spring! I’m so happy to see you at last. Even though our winter wasn’t that bad relatively speaking, you are always a most welcome sight. Before we go all sparkly unicorns and rainbows because April is headed our way, it is time to open the runfessional. Trust me we’re all better after paying [Read More]
Cheers to Spring and Great Surprises
Unlike last week, the final week of winter eased in with gentle breezes, sunshine and warm air. I swear it felt like a hug from the universe amidst a crazy, cruel world. Of course we had some cold, raw days with driving rain as well, but I’m going to focus on the warm air and [Read More]
