Choosing the Good Life Through Self Care, Health, and Happiness
Happy Monday! I hope your morning is going well so far. I’m currently headed to Asheville, NC for a much anticipated ladies’ trip in celebration of my aunt’s 60th birthday. I’m fortunate to have a great relationship with my family and being around them is an instant mood booster for sure. Whether headed off for […] Read more…
Mother’s Day has always been such a fun holiday for me. I’m super fortunate to have a great relationship with my mom and I enjoy having a day to celebrate her (with her). This will be my second year actually participating as a mom and it’s a lot of fun being on both sides of […] Read more…

St. Patrick’s Day is this Sunday and it’s a big deal at our house. It is my husband’s self-declared favorite holiday of the year. While our methods of celebrating have changed over the last decade (less green beer…more cabbage), we still try to do something fun to acknowledge the day. When we first met, Tim […] Read more…
My favorite famous reference to a microwave (don’t you know random quotes about small appliances??) is from the movie American Hustle.
