There are certain styles of clothing, like shift dresses, which I always put into the category: NOT FOR ME. Maybe it’s because I’m in my 30s or maybe its just because I’ve become more confident in my style choices, I’m now more willing to try styles I used to think were not for me. Case…
It finally happened. Rocco fulfilled the rite of passage, he stuck something up his nose. It’s 1 pm and I’m sitting at my computer when the phone rings. I don’t pick up. Who answers their cell phone to an unknown number? Then there’s the ding of a voicemail. “Hi, this is your preschool calling about…
I love baking with berries and making pies, like my Blueberry Pie Bars or my super easy Fresh Cherry Pie for example. Now that I know how to make a galette, it’s my new favorite thing. Why, you might ask? Well, it’s because I love how simple this amazing pie crust recipe is. I also…

Unlike a lot of summer clothing, maxi dresses are a style you can wear year-round. For one, the full-length adds much-needed coverage for the cooler…
I am training for my first 10K, which is exciting but also overwhelming. I am not a runner and trying to figure out all this running stuff can sometimes be intimidating. There is just so much to consider. Beyond the physical struggle to run 3-4 times a week, I also didn’t know where to start…

On my recent trip to Italy, there was one item I knew I had to take with me. These white sneakers were my travel staple. Why are white sneakers so important? Well, because they literally go with everything.Last month, I discussed the three most important items to pack for a trip to Europe. On that…
I am so excited to be chosen as part of the Gal Squad, which is an ambassador program with The Red Door Spas again this year! As part of the program, I get to experience some of their spa services and products and talk about my experience. Last week, I had the chance to experience…

Summers in Phoenix are hot. Like really hot! We have a zoo membership, but it gets hardly any use in the summer because I assumed it would be too hot to visit. I was wrong. The zoo has a lot of cool summer activities, like snow in July! A couple weeks ago, we visited the…

I don’t like running. Scratch that. I don’t like the pain (or perceived pain) I associate with running. I had no plans of running a 10K. Then suddenly, I was selected to be a part of an elite group of fit women and to be an ambassador for RUN 10 FEED 10. Say what? I am…
