My next post will include my ramblings from the 2 digestive health conferences I attended in the last week and a half!  Honestly, I need to let my brain marinate just a bit longer so that I can sort and sift the main take away messages. Seriously, I have knowledge overload. This weekend I tried […]

This week we are hanging in Nantucket.  Not a bad gig. I love this island. We left our car and our stress on the mainland.  Got some bikes, a beach blanket and pretty much that is all we need for the week. Love the old-fashioned feel of this island. Love biking in a dress, do […]

We took our first official vacation with our crazy but adorable chocolate lab, Lucy! Really, we planned this week’s vacation all around our dog, Lucy.   Since she is a water baby, we decided lakeside would be a good venue.  We explored lake houses that were dog-friendly.  I really should say, my 15 year old […]

The new craze in running is color running and quite honestly this is right up my alley. I love running and well, why not make it even funner? This morning Russ and I participated in a Splash Color run….and we got messy and sweaty and we loved it! We started out nice and clean.   […]

I found this quote online and it made me smile. Mother [muhther] noun:  A person that does the work of twenty.  For free. It’s true, Mom’s are very busy people.  And most, wouldn’t want it any other way. I hope all you Mom’s out there are having a happy day.  What makes one Mom happy […]

Russ, Brennan and I are exploring another part of the country.  It’s school vacation week and we are ready to relax! First stop, Nashville, Tennessee!   Now, when I say relax….I should say, ‘our way to relax’ because we tend to be very active on vacation.  Day 1 involved renting bikes and exploring parts of […]

Spring is trying desperately to makes its full time appearance here in New England.  The snow is finally disappearing after what feels like an endless winter. This year, we did Easter a little differently.  Just shaking things up a bit.  We celebrated with our extended family on Saturday night with an “Easter Pizza” celebration.  It […]

My son Kevin is home for his college break and we decided to drive to Nashua, New Hampshire and try out some free falling… Yup, FREE FALLING!  Kevin and I signed up to go into a vertical wind tunnel that simulates free falling or skydiving. How cool is that?! We went to Sky Venture and […]

We all strive for balance and some of us are better at achieving life balance than others.  I feel I have worked out the work- life-balance equation pretty well but sometimes I simply ‘sign up’ for too many things at once and tip my scale of balance into over-load. Oops!  But I think that happens […]
