I got my butt to the gym this morning and took a “conditioning” group exercise class at BSC (aka my new gym for the next month). While we waited for the instructor to arrive, a guy standing near me started to complain about how last week’s class was really tough. The woman who he was [...]

A few months ago, when I was going through a really rough time in my life, my friend Rebecca sent me a book to cheer me up. It was called The Book of Awesome, and it has made me happy every day since. I’m actually surprised it’s taken me so long to blog about it! [...]

Good morning, friends! I honestly don’t know what I would do if Jersey Shore, Ellen (I still can’t believe I saw her in person!), Dexter, or Community were no longer on TV, but sometimes, even the best shows get cancelled. These are just some of my favorite TV shows that I wish would make a [...]

I still can’t believe how many delicious recipe ideas I got from the Chobani Kitchen event the other day. Who knew yogurt was so versatile?! Ok, maybe I knew it was, but it’s just easier when someone gives me new recipes to try! One recipe that immediately caught my attention was for Mac ‘n’ Cheese. [...]

Holy cow! It’s HOT and HUMID here in Boston! Last night, Mal and I finally broke out the AC, which made sleeping a zillion times more enjoyable last night, so we woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning. It’s amazing with a good night’s sleep can do for you! Breakfast I practically bounded out of bed into [...]

Chia pug? So ridiculous, but I love it. Here are some more photos of chia dogs!

In the mix: half of a frozen banana, raspberries, almond milk, vanilla [...]

Welcome to my little sugar experiment! Ok, it’s actually nothing crazy, but, instead, taking some wise advice from Caitlin, Gracie, and a few other bloggers and readers. The goal is save the sweets until after dinner. My problem is once I start, I can’t stop. But knowing that a delicious dessert is waiting for me [...]

Oh, what a feeling When we’re dancing on the ceiling Oh, what a feeling When we’re dancing on the ceiling I’m totally rockin’ out to the Lionel Richie station on Pandora this morning. I’m actually a little bit embarrassed to admit that I regularly listen to the Lionel Richie station, but he rules. I don’t [...]

Happy (Cookie) Friday!!! I can’t believe the weekend is just about here. This week totally flew by for me! I hope it did for you, too! I started my morning with a bowl of pumpkin oatmeal. In the mix was canned pumpkin, soy milk, raisins, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a big scoop of of [...]

There are signs of fall everywhere, but it still feels like summer. I’m embracing the coming season, but, at the same time, hanging onto the previous one. Mother Nature can’t seem to make up her mind. Is it summer or fall? Fall is my favorite season; I cannot wait for it to get here. Snack [...]
