On Monday night my mom returned home from just over two weeks in France. She had an amazing vacation, and I planned a welcome home dinner for her. It included halibut that I picked up at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday. This piece of fish was a-mazing. Over the weekend I found my favorite french…… Continue reading Halibut
I have survived the second day of my clean eating plan. I am definitely having cravings (I love bread so much!) but I was surprised how I was able to get through the day with relative ease. When I woke up I was tired (I am always tired during the week because my alarm goes…… Continue reading Clean Eating, Day 2
The other day I did what some people think is sort of a strange thing (but I don’t). I signed up for Weight Watchers. Over this winter I have put on a few pounds, and I decided to take control of the situation and WW helped me several years ago – so I decided to…… Continue reading The other day…

… you just come home feeling defeated. Today was one of those days for me. It was only Tuesday and I felt like I had worked a whole week, and I felt like a miserable failure when it come to a work and personal life balance. I could have worked for a couple of more…… Continue reading Some days…
That is right blog readers. We have entered The Best Week of the year – i.e. The Week of Thanksgiving!!! My favorite holiday. I cannot stand it. I love Thanksgiving so much.
