Last week I took my son camping in Pittsfield Massachusetts. We met my brother, his beautiful wife and their kids as well as some of my brother’s friends. It was so much fun to watch my son play with his cousins in nature. We went camping for the first time last year, also with my…
I love summertime, it means spending more time with my family and moving at a slower pace. Let’s face it we could all benefit from moving a bit slower. Most of us are so busy multitasking and trying to get a million things done that by the end of the day we are left feeling…
I just got back from a fantastic trip to Legoland, we finally got to see Star Wars Miniland. My family and I have been wanting to go since my son read about it in his Lego magazine. The thought of seeing a large scale Lego model of the Millennium Falcon and the clone turbo tank…
This weekend was a little rough for me, I felt like it was meat eaters vs. plant eaters at times. Especially when my husband and son made their bacon and egg breakfast tacos on Sunday. I try not to separate myself from the guys when they eat meat, but I really, really, really don’t like…
Today is National Night Out Day and we went out. Our local fire station had crafts for the kids, lots of snacks, goodie bags and even a clown that talked to the kids about safety. My son enjoyed looking at a real firetruck up close. I took home a child identification kit, it’s small enough…

Here are some of my summer highlights. We had fun visiting the Country Living Home Green in Battery Park City. And playing with the…
I just had a birthday a few days ago, so I’ve been thinking a lot about my goals and different ways to improve my life. I was also remembering that last year this time I wasn’t eating a high raw, I was still on my standard foodie diet. I remember eating way too many cupcakes,…
My Sundays are usually spent doing laundry and catching up on other mundane chores. I did not want to do that yesterday, not when it was 75 degrees outside. Yes, in San Antonio we were treated to a warm and sunny day. I put on a tank top and flip-flops and headed outside with my son…
