You know that David Bowie song, Changes? "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...turn and face the strain...." Yeah, so I think of that song when I am asked about life and change (if you are younger, you may need to google the song and who David Bowie is). The funny thing about that is that the song really doesn't have a lot of correlation to my life; or does it? As with any story, there's ... Continue Reading
Puffer fish anyone?
I recently spied an announcement of sorts. FOOD OF THE YEAR!! the post did purport(s) Gone is the kale! The chia? SO DONE! All is a tizzy!! We've a *new* number one. On the edge of my seat I waited in fear. The new food announcement? It was almost here. Would it be something ICKY? Could I ever partake? Would I even like it? My LUUUVE would I fake?! Then a big smile did ... Continue Reading
Striving for Simplicity: Living a year with less (guest post).
Near the end of 2012, my hubby and I were dealing with the typical aftermath of the holiday season with our 2 young sons, age 2 and 10 months at the time. I was getting ready to head back to work in February and contemplating the changes about to take place in our lives. I’ll be the first to admit that the idea of shuffling two young kids to daycare was not something I was looking forward to ... Continue Reading
I don’t believe in willpower.
People frequently compliment my willpower. From friends in real life to social media companions I’m consistently on the receiving end of praise regarding my perceived restraint. Emphasis (italics and more) on perceived. Most recently I was at a dinner, placed my order (grilled salmon, brown rice, shrimp cocktail, steamed veggies and salad) and the comments began. You have so much ... Continue Reading
Is BARBIE unapologetically herself?
A Barbie dream house for the child of a wanna-be bodybuilder. First, if you've been living not reading the news (go you!), allow me to catch you up: Barbie, ever controversial lady, has launched a new advertising campaign. The campaign focuses on Barbie being #unapologetic about who she is, how she looks and the kerfuffle she's consistently created. (It partners with Sports Illustrated ... Continue Reading
Changing yet again (guest post).
Please to welcome Debbie and another installment of my guest post series focusing on the word CHANGE. Im a longtime fan of her blog and her spirit. And, should this non-runner ever being to run, she's definitely the coach Id hire. Well, I just did it. I pulled the plug and signed up for an online real estate course. There. Writing it down seems to both make it more real and ... Continue Reading
Jews eating eggs in a ham basket.
I am the Eggland’s Best brand ambassador and the below is a sponsored post. The topic, opinions, & and my obsession with eggs in a ham basket are all my own. Since the addition of Charming we've been in a Puppy Bootcamp of sorts. The child and I, I mean, as the Husband hightailed it out of town had a business trip for almost three weeks *immediately* after we brought him home. The ... Continue Reading
What does BRAZEN mean?
Back in graduate school (shout-out to you Masters in Counseling Psych I'm not using!) in order to be certified to *lead* counseling groups we had to participate in group sessions. It was then I realized (the super obvious notion of) even helpers need help. Even mentors need to be mentees. Even coaches need *coaches.* Flash forward 20+ years and, when I hit a ok. so I know what I'm ... Continue Reading
Banana breakfast cookies. Kinda.
If you hang with me on the book of the face then you know I am NOT A COOK. If you've popped in here more than a few times then you KNOW I'm no FOODIE. Hence the KINDA in the title. The word cookie? Methinks--according to the Tornado's face post-consumption--might be a misnomer. I'm not putting Mrs. Fields out of business any time soon. That said, yesterday morning + two ingredients + ...
