Green Tea Living

By jennifer | Published: January 7, 2010
Hey there! Today was our first session of beginner yoga at work. The class, which was a complimentary session, was held in our small auditorium onsite. I have been so excited for so long about this class that it pains to me to say…the class was extremely underwhelming. It was so basic that I felt [...]

Calm Before the Storm

Like most of the Eastern half of the United States, Chicago is in the middle of a deep arctic freeze – or at least that’s what it feels like! Good thing I ordered my new coat from JCrew  - yeah! Now all I need is a warm set of gloves and I’ll be set for [...]

Fun With French Macarons

By jennifer | Published: January 5, 2010
Hello everyone! Thank you all for your kind words about my last post and my 2 babies! I really struggled with whether or not to tell all of you about them. But then I realized that it’s really hard to talk about some aspects of my life (like travel, stress, etc.) without mentioning that I [...]

By jennifer | Published: January 4, 2010

The Restaurant Diet

By jennifer | Published: January 3, 2010
Hello All! In July 2009, Scott and I went on a diet. Now, I typically don’t believe in dieting, but this was no ordinary diet. When Scott and I realized that we were averaging $475 a month on eating outside the home, we nearly passed out right on the floor! I seriously can’t believe we [...]

A MUFA-licious New Year

By jennifer | Published: January 2, 2010
Afternoon everyone! Yesterday, Scott and I spent most of the afternoon taking down all of the inside Christmas decorations. I didn’t put out as many as I normally do, so it wasn’t as bad as last year taking them down. I will miss how pretty my house looked, but I am glad to have it [...]

Cooking, Baking, and Merry-Making

By jennifer | Published: January 1, 2010
Hello All! So, is everyone still recovering from last night? I took it easy because I’ve been kind of sick the last couple of days. Surprisingly, I was still able to run yesterday morning – which seemed to help a little. Since Scott’s parents were coming over for New Year’s Eve (and spending the night), [...]

Food Hangover

By jennifer | Published: December 30, 2009
Is it possible to have a hangover from food? If it is, I’m pretty sure I have one. I think I ate the most food at one meal last night than I have in a very long time! Without further ado, here’s the scoop… Scott and I met his parents and his brother and sister-in-law [...]
