It’s true confessions time. Every time I go to the dentist – every single time – my dentist says that I should probably floss my teeth more often. I hate hearing those words. Why? Because they are true. I am an avid tooth brusher….that’s not a problem. I rarely have cavities (I’ve had one since…

The Hunger Games – Are You Watching?
Quite a while ago (a year or more?) a few friends recommended that I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I am an avid reader, and I literally flew through the series. I loved the books and instantly knew the story HAD to be made into a movie. Since I read the books, my…
WICKED Day in New York City – PSF/GMYBS
Riding the train to New York City is wonderful. I love the 3 hours sitting in a comfortable seat (there is so much more leg room than on airplanes) and the free wifi is a huge bonus. The trouble I have with trains, however, is that I have this odd tendency to miss them. Yesterday,…
Reflections on a 365 Photography Project
As I’m recovering from yet another whirlwind trip (if you haven’t heard, I took another day trip to New York City on Wednesday and missed not one but TWO trains!). I am so grateful, in more ways than one, that my good friend Becca, the fabulous lady behind the Picaboo blog (and all things Picaboo)…
Disneynature Presents Chimpanzee {My Special Announcement!} #DisneyGlobalEvent
Some of you may have noticed the chimpanzee in my sidebar for the last few weeks. You may have heard me talking on twitter or Facebook about the amazing trip I am taking next month. I’ve been dying to tell everyone (officially) the awesome news – I am heading to Florida in 3 weeks to…
New and Perfect – Wordless Wednesday
One week old and perfect in every way. I can’t get over how precious my friend’s new baby girl is. And I got to spend all morning with her. Today I am off to New York City to see Wicked and hang out with my blogging friend since 2008 (that’s basically forever, you know!) who…
It’s Allergy Season – How I am Breathing Easier
I love the Spring. I love opening my windows and breathing the fresh air. I love feeling the warm breeze and pulling out my sandals (and stashing away my heavy winter shoes). I love the blossoms and the flowers and the COLORS everywhere. But I don’t love what the flowers and the blossoms and the…
How to Increase Family Bonding With Technology
Some people would cringe after hearing what I’m about to say, but I’m going to stick with my opinion here: A good deal of my family’s best bonding time is spent on electronics. I used to think of technology – television, computers, mobile phones, iPads, iTouches, etc – as isolating devices. Often they are. But…
Healthy Body = Happy Body
There’s something about the fresh air and the emergence of Spring that awakens my senses and makes me energized to be more active, eat more fresh foods, and enjoy the outdoors. This is nothing surprising – I do believe that Spring was meant to be this way. Several days ago, I wrote about my search…
Project 365 {Week 11}
Our weather has been glorious this past week, and I’m finding it harder and harder to stay indoors. I’ve been walking each morning after the kids go to school and have found many things to capture with my phone’s camera. How is the weather near you? Are you doing a project 365? What have you…
