Anyone else ready to freak out? I haven’t left my neighborhood since March 12th, the weather’s been crappy these last few days and the news…well, really flipping depressing, combined with all of the normal stressful things that actually feel really intense right now – I’ve been teetering on the verge. DMX – Gonna Make Me Lose My Mind – feels …
If you’re feeling anything like me, it feels like the rug just got yanked right out from underneath you. It feels a little scary, a little overwhelming and really really confusing. What we’re all experiencing right now is unlike anything any of us have ever experienced before. And while the information and opinions that are flying around right now can be tricky …
When life gets stressful, it’s easy to start playing the what if game. What if this bad thing happens or what if that bad thing happens. And once that ball of bad what ifs starts rolling, it’s really hard to stop. Next thing you know, you’re up to your eyeballs in all of the terrible things that could happen, and …
Do you ever feel completely confused about what foods to eat? These days, a lot of people are. There’s so much information out there and everyone seems to be doing (and loving) something different. At my kiddos birthday party a few weeks ago people were raving about fasting, keto, Weight Watchers, no carb, low carb, vegetarian, vegan, and more. I’m pretty …
Let’s talk about love. A lot of times when people think about love – they think about the fairytale version of love – the hearts, roses, butterflies and happily ever afters. But I think love’s a lot grittier than that. Love is about a willingness to really look at and see someone for who they are – the good, the …
One of the hardest parts about change is figuring out where to begin. I often work with people who know that they need to make a change, they’re just not sure what that change is, let alone how to make it happen. The working mom who’s stretched too thin, desperately seeking better work/life balance. The corporate exec who’s looking around realizing …
Ever show up at work, home or the grocery store and think to yourself – how’d I get here? You remember getting into the car and pulling out of your neighborhood, then next thing you know you’ve arrived with no memory of how you got to where you are. This doesn’t just happen with driving home from work after a …
A few weeks ago we ordered brand spankin’ new convection double wall ovens – yay! I love a good, fully functioning appliance :), and our ovens have been on their last legs since we bought our house 4 years ago. They squeak when they preheat…cook, and cool down too. And the interior lights never turn off (mostly due to my …
It’s the week of Thanksgiving! My favorite holiday of the year. I love all the traditional Thanksgiving foods (yes please give me all of the stuffing, turkey and pie). The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, the football games, and of course most of all the family time and the relaxed vibe that comes with this holiday. There are no expectations to …
If you’re anything like me, it’s easy to collect stuff over time. You stick all of the takeout menus in a kitchen drawer, along with every random paperclip, rubber band and pen you find. Your closet has a selection of white t-shirts in every neckline and sleeve length ever sold. And your guest bedroom has more “extra” pillows than the …
