This past weekend was different than my usual weekends spent at the barn. It was all about getting together with friends, exploring new places, and finding time to recharge. And, do you know what? It was the perfect weekend. Despite…
Weekend Plans
This weekend, I deviated from my normal routine. As much as I love my Saturday morning workout, this weekend I decided to shake it up a bit and actually take both weekend days for myself. I started my Saturday off…
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!
Lately, it has been starting to feel like fall. With summer officially coming to an end (tomorrow!), I guess I have to embrace the new season whether I am ready to or not. Fortunately, I squeezed in one final beach…
Self-Care Sunday
Yes. I am well aware that today is in fact Monday. As someone who suffers from the occasional “Sunday Scaries,” I have started to fully embrace showing myself a little self-love before the weekend ends and the new week begins….
Monday Mantra: The Art of Tidying Up
Although I never read Marie Kondo’s book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” my experience this past weekend was an eye-opener. You never realize how much stuff you have until you go through your home room-by-room and begin to declutter….

I wish I could say that I had a fabulous week, but I spent most of it at home and in bed. No, this wasn’t a scheduled staycation. I woke up Monday feeling awful and was sick for most of…
Waiting for the Weekend
As another week comes to a close I can say with absolute certainty that I have been counting the seconds to Friday since Monday. This has felt like a never-ending-week–and when you hope every day is Thursday all week, you…
September’s Surprise
Just when I thought my beach days were over for 2014, September delivers two beautiful, sunny days for me to enjoy! I am happy to report that I took full advantage of both days – spending time in the sun,…
Catching Up….
Typically my weekends consist of the three B’s: beaching, brunching, and browsing. This weekend I decided to stay put and enjoy the two R’s–rest and relaxation – and attend to tasks that I have been putting off. The weather only…
Waiting for the Weekend
While another long, humid summer week comes to a close (can you believe it’s almost July already?), I am again grateful that my favorite two days are upon us. This week, a couple of things happened. First, I received the…
