The writing prompt I chose this week for Mama Kat’s workshop is: 4.) A country you would like to visit. Let me start by saying I’m obsessed with HGTV’s House Hunters International. Anytime I get the chance to watch TV my husband assumes that’s what I’m watching. Yes, HHI trumps any other guilty TV pleasure […] Read more…

40 Before 40 No. 6
I have an announcement to make. Prepare yourself. I think I’m getting lazy. There, I said it! I have become a shell of my former workout self. I don’t like it, I want to change it. I’m finding it’s easier said than done. Since “the big push” aka birth I haven’t been able to work […] Read more…

Mommy – You’re in Time Out
We all know so many things change after having a baby. Your body has, ahem, a few transformations. One thing I didn’t expect to hit me so hard was no longer feeling like I had my swagger. You know, the sexy swagger. After getting my pre-pregnancy body back give or take a pound or two… […] Read more…
Mama Must-Have
All winter I have been on the lookout for my latest must-have – over the knee boots. I go back and forth on this one. I can’t help but to always think in Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. I don’t want to do the whole hooker-chic look. I’m going more for haute mama. I’m feeling […] Read more…
