I promised Mike I would post my high school senior pictures, since he took the plunge already this week in honor of his upcoming high school reunion. I also promised myself I would buckle down with slightly better cooking and eating asap, what with all the recent birthday and new job celebratory consumption shenanigans. So [...]

I think I deserve a tiny drop in the credit bucket for making it this far before totally copping out like I’m about to do. But I have a good excuse (don’t we all) since I’m really tired (aren’t we all). Today I took Avi to camp, took D to work, did some extreme cleaning [...]

First day off of work. Also my birthday. Yes, I planned it that way. This morning I went to the gym and worked extra hard so I could eat extra a lot tonight. Avi loves loves loves the play place at Urban Active, and it’s been an absolute dream to be able to go workout [...]

Hey! It’s June 15! Halfway through NaBloPoMo and mi madre’s birthday. Let’s check in on some of those pledges I made two weeks ago, shall we? Well, our new gym is open. It’s pretty unreal. Something like 45,000 47,000 square feet of intimidation. Because it is. Intimidating, I mean. The ratio of beautiful people to [...]

So I got a whole bunch of cabbage in my CSA box a few weeks ago. I’ve done cabbage stir fry – and like it very much, thank you – but I was a little bored with the idea of more cabbage in the wok for days on end. I did a little research and [...]

Writing every day for a month doesn’t sound too difficult. I’ve done it before and I’m not afraid. So much so that I’m raising the bar. In writing. That’s right, kids: not only am I doing #NaBloPoMo this month (my birthday month, how perfect!) but I am also tackling the 100 pushup challenge, the 200 [...]

There is a lot going on right now, only 30% of which I am actually permitted to write about. That pretty much leaves cooking, cleaning, Avi and #smug. Oh, and work. Last night was our biggest event of the year. I was at work from 8:30am to 12:50am. So, yeah. That happened. (Let’s not talk [...]

I cannot believe it. I won the Biggest Loser Mom contest. I am so excited!! I’ve been working my butt off (literally [that joke never gets old]) since January and have lost over 40 pounds. For most of that time I’ve also been participating in this contest put together by Sarah and Devra because it’s [...]

I had a pretty awful day. The kind where I just wanted to curl up in a ball as soon as I got home. So instead, I grabbed my running shoes and went up to the reservoir. Exactly the right choice. An hour and a half outside on a beautiful spring evening is enough to [...]
