Yoga On the Go
(Photo courtesy of Flickr) Although I travel quite a bit for work, I always find time to fit in a run or a workout. Some people use work-related travel as an excuse to forgo workouts. But I’m a firm believer of the mantra – where there’s a will, there’s a way. Most of the time, [...]

More than once on this blog I have mentioned my affection for tea. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a Starbucks addict, but am trying to quit by replacing my coffee with tea. So today, as I sat at my desk, dreaming of Starbucks but drinking my Tazo Awake tea, I reminded myself of all [...]
Mother's Day Conundrum
Happy Belated Mother’s Day everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day. It was fairly chilly in Chicago yesterday, but I managed to get outdoors, go out to lunch, and do a little shopping – all by myself! After an awesome 7-mile run, Scott and the kids surprised me with a bag of mother’s [...]

10 Things You May Not Know About Mireille Guiliano
Hello All! I am still so exhausted from yesterday! Running 7 miles then gardening for 5 hours really wiped me out! If you haven’t already heard, I’ve posted my article featuring the interview with author Mireille Guiliano. In 2005, she released her first book, French Women Don’t Get Fat. Now, five years later, she has [...]
Growing Your Own Vegetable Garden
Late last night, I started watching the last episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution on Hulu. I enjoyed the episode as always, but something toward the end of the show really hit home. The episode showed school children and families working in their gardens, harvesting their own vegetables. Scott and I have talked about planting [...]
