3 Reasons Why You Need To Stop Skipping Breakfast
I remember as a kid, I wasn't able to leave the house in the morning without eating breakfast. My mom didn't always cook a hot meal first thing in the morning but, she made sure I ate something. Whether it was a bowl of cereal (ok, I loved corn flakes and bananas and...
Why You Should Give Long Distance Running A Try
I have always been impressed with runners. Watching a group of teens run around what seems to be our entire city always left me wondering. How on earth can you just keep going and going and going? If I run up the block I feel like my lungs are going to explode, my...

The latest musings
Fighting Temptation
As a mom of 3, I have come to realize that I learn a great deal from my kids. Here I am, the one who is supposed to do the teaching, yet there are times when I feel like I am the one doing most of the learning. Who would have ever thought a three-year-old […]
How to get more Vitamin D
You may have heard a few sun worshippers confessing their need for Vitamin D. While there is a bit of truth in this, most of us lather on sunscreen to prevent sunspots and the appearance of aging skin. If you live in the Northeast, as I do, we aren’t fortunate enough to have a year […]
A little puppy love
I didn’t grow up having a pet, nor did I experience a little puppy love. Wait, I did have a pet – a cat named Pepper. We had her for all of a week. I’m not sure if it was the fact that she made my mom sneeze or her pooping in my mom’s bed […]

30 Day Challenge
I love a good challenge. Not the dangerous and crazy ones. ( I won’t eat a bug no matter how much you offer to pay me!) The challenges I am talking about are the ones that allow you to see yourself doing something that you aren’t accustomed to doing. Maybe they will create a new habit. For example, I […]

New Baby In Town
I guess I should have said when I started this blog that I was BIG AND PREGNANT! So, that means, I had to take a little break. For those of you that have children, you know that the first few weeks can be brutal. Now add a three year old son and a two year old daughter […]
Love is All Around
It’s February. I know this, not because of the calendar, but because everything around me is red or pink or has hearts all over it. For some, this is a time to shower their bae/boo/hun with tons of love. For others, it’s a constant reminder of their singlehood. It can also be a time […]
Pantry Essentials
First things first, fresh fruits and vegetables need to be the staple of your diet. Ok, now that that’s been said, let’s move to the pantry. I lean on my pantry quite a bit and thought I would share the staples that are always on hand. Here we go: Canned Fish – I always […]
No Social Media Before Bedtime
We are so socially plugged in! But, really, is that a good thing? I started to notice that I literally have my phone in hand, checking every last drip of news and post right before I go to sleep. Then, for a good hour, my mind is racing and a good night’s sleep starts to […]
