I am embarrassed to say that Wildfork has been in my neighborhood for a little while now and I had not gone in until very recently. I blame this on my obsession with buying meat at Costco but I think will have to re-visit this strategy! The first thing I want to say is that …
I don’t know about you but this Winter, I am having a much harder time making decisions than usual. I wrote the first blog post on decision fatigue January 2022. This was almost 2 years after the pandemic had started, forcing all of us to make tons of decisions using information from a rapidly changing …
This week’s blog post is scheduled for Wednesday instead of Tuesday since it is Valentine’s Day. I didn’t grow up with this ‘holiday’ but as an adult, I like to use it to reflect on my relationships. It sounds cliche to say but times goes by both so slowly and too fast at the same …
It seems like the newest topic on everyone’s mind is how to save money at the grocery store. It came up in conversation recently, my social media feeds keep showing me videos and posts on how to do this, and I am even getting emails with articles as well. I am not surprised given how …

Summer is finally here…hot sun, pool weather, playground, beach trips but also…rain. Lots of rain. I guess it depends where you live but if you are in the Northeast or Florida (the two areas I am familiar with), you have been getting lots of rain recently. Rainy day activities in the summer are different than …
