Getting Reacquainted!

I am back in Pittsburgh! What a great week on my own; I learned some fabulous things about writing and myself. And it is amazing how much more quickly you can get work done when you have zero distractions! I am looking forward to applying some of these lessons in everyday life.
A recap of the [...]

Make Sure to Play Hard in This Game of Life

The 30-Day Challenge posts will be back soon, but I feel a need to take a brief hiatus today and address the “pray” sector of this blog with a little more of a thought-provoking post. Enjoy!

As you have all witnessed throughout the last few posts, my family and I have been on vacation for the [...]

Breakfast on an Island and the Best Gosh, Darn Pizza Ever!

Hello, lovely people!
Vacation is winding down quickly, but I wanted to write and fill you in from where I left you last . . .
Rewinding a bit to Monday:
Breakfast was a piece of whole grain toast with almond butter and Thousand Islands Winery’s Blackberry Merlot jam. Both of these were from the wine festival we [...]

I’m Doing the Vacation Happy Dance!

V-ee are here! (That one was for my future father-in-law!)
I know I have already told you all about how fabulous this place is, but, seriously, it is really freaking fabulous.

So, an early-morning departure tomorrow it is!
Since I haven’t given [...]

Eating, Working, Packing, Eating, Work Out, Eating . . . Whew!

OOOOOK……. so, where did I leave you last? I feel like I have done so many things since I blogged about my walk/run session last night.
First off — Last night’s snack. I was too hungry to wait until dinner, so I had some Fage Total 2 % Peach Greek-Style yogurt to hold me over. Mmmm [...]

Mazel Tov to Mickey!

Family, vacation and good food are three fabulous things. Mix ‘em all together and you have a great time and a full tummy!
For the last few days, Dan and I have been visiting his family in Florida; we have been here since Friday afternoon and we catch a plane on Tuesday to go back home. [...]

Skimpy Bikini? Anyone? Anyone? . . .

I don’t know how all of you are feeling about bathing suit season, but I know for sure that I am down right freaking out. In two weeks, I am heading off to Florida for Dan’s sister’s bat mitzvah, and we all know that warm weather = more skin for the eyes to see.
Don’t [...]
