Before the Fall by Noah Hawley (4.5/5) “This book is about a small plane crashing with two fancy business moguls on it. Also in attendance were their families and a down-on-his-luck painter.

My workout this morning was a challenging one. My muscles have been missing the muscle burn. For the last few weeks, I have been enjoying more cardio type of workouts….running, hiking and indoor gym workouts. I wanted to try something new to get back into strength training and this DVD is new to me. I’ve […]
This week marks our first year wedding anniversary. Around this time last year, the husband and I, along with our family and friends, all vacationed to Puerto Vallarta in celebration of our wedding. Our actual wedding anniversary is May 30th, but because we got married last year during Memorial Day weekend, this weekend feels more […]
One of my favorite things during the holidays are the time spent with friends and family. I love that everyone is in a good and jolly mood, everyone has a grateful heart and thankful attitude. The vibe is light and fun. I just love this time of the year because it brings people together. I […]
I don’t want summer to end yet. I still want to spend time at the beach or have a bonfire…but this week it feels like Fall is coming on too fast. I woke up at 6am and today it was completely dark. Fall is here. I usually wear my running shorts for my morning runs. […]

Well, the first week of January was pretty cold, there was ice on my windshield a few times and consecutive […]
Last weekend, we drove up to Mammoth (one of my favorite places to go and relax) and spent a few days relaxing at a beautiful cabin surrounded by majestic mountains and fresh air. We go to Mammoth every year, twice this year, and this year’s second trip couldn’t have come at a better time. There […]
Here’s what I typically wear on a weekend, when I’m spending the day running around and hanging out with my toddler. We go to museums, have picnics, take naps, go to parks and then eat our weekly burger fix or frozen yogurt. Later in the evening, we went to dinner with my parents and […]
Accidental tasty salad. Sometimes random leftovers make great meals. The week is coming to an end, which means I am trying to eat all the leftovers before cooking a whole new batch of dishes. A mish mash of flavors that surprisingly went well together. A bed of arugula and fresh spinach, tossed in Shiitake Sesame Vinaigrette. […]
