Always evolving, Never Average
You are warned about a lot of things when you are about to become a parent. About the lack of sleep, about things no longer being about you, about the terrible twos and the money and the laundry and the driving and lots of other annoying and monotonous stuff. But you know what no one warns …Read More
My husband and I went to see our therapist on Thursday. If you haven’t been here before, we started a fairly new type of therapy called Imago therapy about six months ago. It doesn’t suck. At all. I’ve been around the therapy block quite a few times, so I can say with a fair amount of personal …Read More
I don’t know if you are aware, but I am hosting a kick ass weekend for ladies in February at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT in February 2015. It’s Friday, February 27 through Sunday, March 1, 2015. Why am I doing this? For a number of reasons. To say thank you. To give you a …Read More
About a month ago, I ran a marathon in the pouring rain. It sucked. Big time. But you know what didn’t suck? Yesterday I had planned on going for a run. It was totally raining out. A few months ago, I would have bagged it. I would have used the rain as an excuse to blow …Read More

First Kid: Before this one is even born, you have purchased the World’s Cutest Halloween Costume. The First Kid is going to be a pumpkin or a pea in a pod or something equally and nauseatingly adorable. On Halloween night, you pack your kid in the car and drive to the house of every single …Read More
I fell in love with yoga last January. I wrote about that true love moment here (read that one if you missed it — it’s one of my favorites). And then, as we headed into summer, I completely fell off the yoga wagon. It was just too hard for me to get to a class with the …Read More
We went trick-or-treating on Friday with friends who have two daughters who are the same ages as Number 3 (9 years old) and Number 4 (8 years old). They live in a great neighborhood for Halloween with lots of cul de sacs and lots of houses. So there were seven kids altogether, ranging in ages from 3 …Read More
I just had my three month anniversary. Three months of not yelling at my kids. (If you want to see how I made it through the first two and a half months, read this.) It’s still not totally automatic. In addition to Serenity Now, I have added the following mantra to my repertoire: There are days where …Read More
