Now that my children have been in camp for one full week, I feel like I have a good idea of what is working for them as far as amount of food and snacks I am sending. I really dislike prepping lunches for school and camp but I realized the deconstructed approach I have taken …
I am finally starting to feel like the warmth is here to stay and in hopes that this is true, I am writing a very summery blog post. Avocados are now selling at $1 per fruit near me and that usually is the signal that they are in season since they can sell anywhere from …
It’s been months since the New Year and the so-called time to set resolutions but I was inspired to think about fitness goals after trying a new work out style. I recently did a Peloton PowerZone challenge, which is usually not how I like to work out. There is a lot of long rides where …
