Our annual summer vacation Dad’s and daughters’ lunch is one of my favorite parts of the week. It’s just such a nice time to sit and have lunch with my sister, Dad and me because just the 3 of us isn’t a dynamic that happens often. During these lunches he shares a life lesson of some kind (for example WIFM—what’s …
How much time in a day do you spend consuming media? Think about this for a second—do you scroll through FB before rolling out of bed? Is the Today Show on in the background as you get ready for work? How many notifications pop up on your screen in a day? What do you do during your lunch break—is it …
Here’s a list of some of my favorite places to catch the news, stay informed and be reminded of all the goodness in the world. Bookmark any sites you like so you can head right there when you hop online, and also be sure to clean up your social media feeds–including who and what you follow. And most importantly—as you …
I look around at what’s going on in the world right now and it just feels so dark and heavy. How is THIS where we are in 2020? How have we not done better? And honestly I feel naive, so much has been brought to the surface that I genuinely thought we, as a society were beyond. It’s hard to …
I’ve always been a great sleeper—seriously since I was a baby, sleeping’s been my jam. So when my kiddo wouldn’t sleep—4 years in he’s still not great at it—I was shocked. Did you know that sleeping is a skill?! It’s not something that everyone just innately knows how to do. You have to learn and practice it.
Life is different now. Do you feel that too? It’s not exactly clear what this new normal is going to look like for many of us, but it is pretty clear that there’s no going back. Things have changed. They’re continuing to change, and while this change is in process, it’s a good time to look at the change you …
It’s a stressful time right now. With all of this uncertainty, it’s hard to not feel like you’re on the longest ever rollercoaster ride. One day you’re re-organizing your kitchen cabinets and decluttering the pantry, the next you’re binge watching Tiger King…in your pjs…while eating Mitchell’s pistachio ice cream right out of the carton…all damn day. The most important thing to …
Does the idea of creating a healthier, toxin free home sound like a great idea…but feel really overwhelming to actually implement? Maybe the thought of reading labels filled with words that you can’t pronounce and don’t understand has you willing to just take your chances and hope for the best. Believe me, I so get this. And honestly there are …
Your day to day life determines your happiness. It’s not the vacations and the time off. The summer cookouts or the monthly bookclub with your closest friends. Yes, those events are part of it, but it’s really about what you’re doing on Tuesday at 2pm. It’s the way in which you live your everyday life that determines how much you enjoy …
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.
