Honestly, this really is my favorite holiday and I love how many people get into the “spirit” of things. I went to exercise class this morning and everyone had a cute little something to nod to the day. Ok, in this pic, you can clearly see that #1 I am not on a low-carb diet […]
Iāve mentioned before how much fun we start to have in the desert after paying the price of living here in August and September (although we had a mild summer, in my opinion).

Arizona was such an easy choice when we decided to move to warmer weather because not only is the Sonoran desert spectacular most of the year, the mountains call my name […]
Iām in touch with my body enough to know if Iāve eaten a few too many sweets (my clothes are tight), had too much salt (I canāt get my rings on), or drank too much champagne (I start speaking French). I know what immediate steps to take to address those issues. Exercise, however, has been […]
