Choosing the Good Life Through Self Care, Health, and Happiness
I am an impatient person by default. I usually know what I want and I want it immediately. Instant gratification is my best friend. It’s a trait that I’ve learned to control more and more as I get older, but it definitely is a battle at times. As Lyla develops more of a personality, I […] Read more…
Happy Friday! We plan to have a quiet weekend which I always enjoy. Sunday is National Ice Cream Day, so we’ll likely take Lyla to our favorite local ice cream shop for a treat. I’m happy to say that’s the extent of our plans. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Here are some of […] Read more…
I’ve given up on incorporating the farmer’s market into my weekly shopping routine. Maybe I’ll give it another go in the fall when I don’t stick to the inside of my car, my hair, and my shorts even at 7am. Just because my good intentions have been put on hold doesn’t mean I can’t pass […] Read more…
It’s Monday. The day of all days to be grumpy. While I, very fortunately, no longer have to trudge into a job on this unfairly detested morning, I remember the feeling very well. I worked a secretarial position that I absolutely despised for two years before pulling the plug and started fresh working from home. […] Read more…
Happy Friday! Thanks to the mid-week holiday break, Friday snuck up extra quick which is always a welcome reprieve. If you’re anywhere near the south, I hope you have something planned either in the water or inside because summer is definitely in full swing temperature wise. We’re going canoeing with a group of friends on […] Read more…
Lyla will be thirteen months old on Saturday and we are slowly phasing out a lot of the newborn items that have been such a huge part of our day to day over the last year. I have to say it’s a mix of emotions as I pack away things like her swing, doorway jumper, […] Read more…
My biggest hurdle in eating healthy comes in the form of dessert. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and honestly have no interest in giving sugar up all together. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures plus I enjoy baking on occasion. Instead, I try to limit myself to one dessert item a week. This makes […] Read more…
Happy Friday!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned. We have a dinner date Saturday at our favorite local wine bar and a nearby downtown restaurant. After a fun, but busy, family vacation and then a week of being sick, I’m looking forward to an evening to relax and enjoy some good food and […] Read more…
My family goes on a vacation every couple of years to St. George Island with three other families. We spend a week eating, drinking, relaxing, eating, drinking, swimming, eating, and drinking. Now, the pace has changed slightly over the years. The first trip was five years ago and included eight adults and one baby. When […] Read more…
We spent a lovely week vacationing in St. George Island with friends. This was followed by a lovely week with Lyla, my husband, and myself exchanging some mystery cold illness** that we had caught from our lovely friends at the beach. So I’m back from my fun/not so fun hiatus and thought I would share […] Read more…
