You know I’m crunchy AF so it won’t shock you that my favorite holiday is Earth Day. And it’s coming up. Every year to celebrate I do something “green” and this year I’m going BIG! I’m breaking up with plastic. That’s right I’m kicking it to the curb. In a big blue bin. Here’s a…
Say “No Thanks” to the Coronavirus
My hubby always says there’s only one person you can control and that’s yourself. With all the crazy misinformation about the coronavirus and everyone guessing what’s going to happen and what are we going to do, a Type A person like me needs to feel some control. I’m not running out and buying toilet paper…

Finding comfort at the end of a sentence
Growing up, my family all went on a yearly vacation. My parents hated the beach, Disney World was too immature for them and a “European trip would be wasted on children”. Needless to say, for 3 kids that left our options somewhere between The National Mustard Museum in Wisconsin (yes, it’s real) and somewhere in…
Yoga: Today’s Four Letter Word
In my younger days if you were to ask me about yoga I would have immediately responded with “well, he’s smarter than your average bear and loves picnic baskets, but why he wore a hat and tie but no pants I have no idea”. As I got a little older, a little wiser and honestly…
