Dramatic post title, huh. Even though I’ve already technically started work, it has all been fluff stuff, like HR paperwork, physical eval, etc. So this weekend was my last REAL weekend as a stay-at-home mom. It’s sad. I am trying not to think about what I’m missing while I’m away. But I do like that I can re-discover myself again outside of my mom role. I wouldn’t go back to nursing if I didn’t love it. Anyway, Friday was a pretty boring day. I dragged P to Sac with me because I had an appointment… Read more >

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Choc & Nut spread. This is a vegan version of Nutella. I first came upon this French company at Expo West and after one bite I was hooked. It tastes heavenly – chocolate & hazelnut in a creamy smooth buttery spread. I found it at my local Co-Op and it’s not cheap. $10 for… Read more >

This week has been truly perfect. Much needed after last week’s sh!t storm of crazy. Friday couldn’t have been a more amazing end to the week either. Kyle has Fridays off, so we both got to sleep in. Brilliant start already. Then we found out his waffle company made it to the finals – open to the public (on May 26th) if you want to attend. Winner gets investors and money and a bunch of press, so this is HUGE. While Kyle had a quick conference call I went on a short run (showered); and… Read more >

In New York, I was a NYRR member. I ran almost every 10K during the two month period of decent weather (if I wasn’t working), and a few half marathons too. Truthfully, I think I could run Central Park with my eyes closed. Moving to California was a breath of fresh air in the running department. The weather is rarely an obstacle and (as I’ve already shared) the scenery is exceptional. However, I do miss the excitement of races. I’ve been keeping my eye out for local running events, but my schedule is friggin’ packed… Read more >

After spending time relaxing in Monterey, we packed back up and headed down south…off to Santa Barbara! I was driving so my personal hand model Kyle snapped this picture for me. I thought we could forge ahead without any detours, but we hit some serious traffic so a stop in San Luis Obispo for lunch was very necessary. As good as it is, Strawberry Serenity Kombucha does not a meal make. What is Mondeo? I’m still not quite sure… As far as I could tell the restaurant had meal concepts (for lack of a better… Read more >
