As I said earlier this week, change is stirring in the air, and along with the aroma of excitement, the taste of stress has creeped in. Taking a leap and leaving the safety of the usual day-to-day is a great way to truly find yourself. To grow you need to rise up to challenges that …

Time to break out the summer food
Well it's not exactly time for barbecues, but it's never too early to break out the breakfast smoothie. As the smell in the air grows crisper and the ground thaws with the touch of the sun, I think it's appropriate to make a fruity and refreshing morning meal. Yesterday I broke out the frozen fruit and …
Long time no blog
I am SO sorry for not being here. I am gearing up for some big changes in my life and have neglected one of my favorite friends, my blog. I have been selfish, busy and lazy and have failed to share my ideas and adventures, which has left me feeling a bit empty. I love curling up …
WIAW – restaurant style
I have had a few visitors over the past couple of weeks and while I love cooking for guests, I certainly prefer to dine out at fun and delicious San Francisco joints. So if you ever find yourself in the bay area (especially in my neighborhood by the water) you wont be disappointed by these few favorites …
WIAW – some eats from the week
The past few days have been filled with delicious food - some prepared at the hands of others and some cooked chez moi. The weekend was busy with good friends and adventures including, some sushi (Going out for sushi is never complete unless I get to enjoy a seaweed salad as well) Some homemade cocktails …

WIAW – taking something back
During my training for my half marathons I supplemented my days off between running with pilates classes. I was hesitant at first to enter the world of dance positions and flexibility, but after my initial classes I was hooked. However, once the accident happened pilates went out the window along with any heavy impact activities. …
A Day of Firsts
It's not every day you find your core muscles again, relax in bubbles, conquer a kitchen appliance and bake the perfect holiday cookies. Saturday was that day. I started my morning with a half hour core workout class at my YMCA. I've been building my core through swimming, spinning and planks, but yesterday was the …
WIAW – eating go-to meals
I love going to the grocery store and shopping for fresh ingredients to use in new recipes. Even better is going to the farmer's market on Sunday morning and buying right-off-the-farm veggies to cook up during the week. Well this weekend I did have a chance to fill my reusable bags with beautifully fresh foods, …
Falling off the wagon and getting back on the horse
Between traveling for work for 10 days and having a fabulous visitor for the weekend my gym routine has been far from normal. Before the big NYC Toy Fair I was going to spin class twice a week, swimming twice a week and doing some strength training. Since I boarded the plane to the east …
