Meg: Style Icon
A style icon of many, Audrey Hepburn’s 50’s/60’s chic style has been inspiration to me from the first time I watched Roman Holiday. Mimicking your favorite style icon can be a fun way to liven up your style. I dressed up a few simple pieces and gave them a very Holly Golightly a la Breakfast…

10 Fave Sweet Potato Recipes
It felt so good to enjoy dinner at home with the fam last night, and bust out the pots and pans again. Even if it was a simple meal (roasted veggies and Pilot-grilled chicken), it was perfect, especially with some vino (which sadly, they do not have at CR). There are a few things…

Halloween Costumes with a Baby
For a while, I had a hard time coming up with a themed Halloween costume for our family. I really wanted Liv to be a mermaid, but then I found something totally different- I’m pretty excited about it (and hope she thinks it’s cool when she sees pictures later). We’re actually making the costumes instead…

What I’m taking back home with me
This past weekend, I traveled alone. As much as I missed my family -I had a couple of rough moments being away from Liv- I know it was good for me. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” and all that stuff, right? I knew she was having a blast with her daddy and that I…

CR Cuisine and Amenities
After a weekend of picturesque views, healthy culinary delights, being pampered and learning (new fitness and health techniques, and also about myself) it’s time to head back to the land of cacti. Before I get back in the swing of life, I wanted to take a post to talk about all of the amazing food…

9/23: Meals and Fitness for the week
This week is going to be a little different than usual, since I’m staying out-of-town for another day +. Unlike traditional vacations, where I have to get creative to find healthy options, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by them. Breakfast this morning: Gluten-free cornmeal waffles (I salivate just looking at the picture) smoked salmon, more…

Here at the Ranch
So, I’m in Massachusetts… still… and again. This whole time I was thinking I’d be going to New York because one of the two possible places I could be picked up was New York. Since I was being picked up in Hartford, we were going to New York. <– see the illogical leap my brain…

ZOOMA Cape Cod 10k Race Re-cap
If this isn’t motivation to finish a race, I’m not sure what is…. Wine and massages? I’ll run for that 🙂 The morning started off nice and early (3:30 AM Tucson time!) and I quickly grabbed some food: ‘Bucks, banana and almond butter. I was SO hungry when I woke up, I really wanted to…

Let’s do this thang
It was a crazy, long day, even longer with a travel snafu + 3 hours of driving on top of flying all day. But, I made it! 🙂 After an awesome dinner with the ZOOMA girls (thanks for letting me crash the party!) FaceTime with my loves, getting my clothes set out and my…
