After having Jack last year, easing back into working out and feeling strong is a goal I’m focusing on. When we first got the Peloton in 2020, I wasn’t sure how much I’d end up using it since I’ve never previously enjoyed spin classes. It took a handful of rides before I finally felt the…
2021 FAVORITES
This has been one of my favorite posts to write every year. Here are my favorites from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

THINGS I’M LOVING

ON MY RADAR
Ugh, I came into the new year with a great mindset! I started to feel a little anxious considering how miserable I was last winter… But I kept reminding myself that I’m not going to have morning sickness this year and I don’t have to meet any book deadlines! It’ll be a different winter! It…
WINTER COATS AND BOOTS
January isn’t typically a big shopping month for me. It’s cold outside, there are fewer places to go, and I usually end up wearing a lot of cozies. But one practical thing I will occasionally shop for during the winter lull is outerwear! Sometimes the best mood booster to get out of your winter blues…
