Wow. That’s a long title, and not a very creative one at that. Add to it the fact that black pepper is an ingredient in this smoothie and I can see you slowly starting to close the page… thumbs up you brave souls who are still here because this smoothie is, in a word, yummily delish! (Ok, that’s two words, kind of made up). So here’s … Continue reading Pineapple & Turmeric Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie
I came across this quote the other day by John Muir, and it instantly resonated with me. Whenever I’m feeling anxious, or need to clear my head, I go outside. It’s a great way to hit the reset button during the day. Sometimes it’s just a 20 minute walk around my neighborhood park, sometimes longer, but the fresh air and sunshine seem to be an instant … Continue reading Spring Stroll
I’ve officially called it quits. Or let’s just say, I’ve taken a long hiatus. My synapses aren’t firing as quickly, my reflexes are numb, and the thought of cutting the crusts off another turkey sandwich might possibly send me over ‘The Edge’. We’re down to the count now. I can see the finish line. Eight more days. Eight more days until school’s out and summer … Continue reading Mom’s Out For Summer
Spring has officially sprung, but you wouldn’t know that with the temps still hovering in the “I’m sick of Winter ” category. With snow in the forecast for Sunday, the phrase ‘March Madness’ has a new meaning. Hopefully warmer temps will be here soon. Until then, have a great weekend, wherever you may be! xx Continue reading Hello Weekend!
It seems everyone is in various states of Spring Break Fever. They are either talking, packing, planning or uploading photos of their sunny vacations and sun-kissed smiles. And I can’t help but feel a pang of Spring Break Envy. In the past we’ve traveled, but this year, with the boys having two separate weeks off, Jeff traveling for work, and let’s face it, my poor … Continue reading Spring Break For Those Staying Home
I love this time of year. Everyone comes out of hiding, and the longer days and evenings really help lift my spirit and and my family’s. It’s a welcome relief from our Winter routine of snuggling up with a Friday night movie, and going to indoor bounce houses (shoot me now). I’m ready to de-thaw from the weight of my Uggs and bring on Spring: … Continue reading The Weekend Guide
Back in the day, my 20s mind you, I lived in Los Angeles. I moved out there for really no other purpose but to get out of St. Louis, and LA seemed like as good a choice as any. I was broke most of the time, living paycheck to paycheck, stockpiling quarters for the laundry machine, and commuting between school, a paid job and an … Continue reading Meet Me in St. Louis in 15 Minutes
I loved the snow storm that came through St. Louis yesterday. It was a great excuse to hunker down, hang out and cozy up with the family and we did just that. But I have to admit, with Snow Day #2, I’m feeling a bit antsy now. Call it a case of Cabin Fever meets Spring Fever, but I’m ready for warmer weather, sunny days … Continue reading The Weekend Guide
Dear Saint Louis, Or should I call you Lou? (After all, we have known each other for quite a few years now). You’ve always managed to stay close to my heart, despite a few break ups here and there, which, let’s face it, were my fault. I thought the grass was greener somewhere else. Thanks for understanding and sticking by me. I really appreciate it. And … Continue reading Dear Lou
