I was so fortunate to get to travel to China this spring with an awesome group of fellow bloggers. Planning the trip was truly a huge part of the adventure. When I first got on the phone with Marc from Mandarin Journeys, I was pretty clear I wanted to be immersed into China. I did not want to see tourist sites nor did I want…

David and I have been LOVING our essential oils, but are definitely still newbies and in the learning phase. But, I’d love to share with you three important things I learned about using my diffuser at night… 1. Lavender is our thing. Seriously, it has been years since we have really slept thru the night; like not even get up to go to the bathroom. Well,…

A weekend away together does not mean every minute has to be together. It’s been a long time since David and I did a weekend away that had nothing attached to it. No seeing the kids; no visiting family; NO TRIATHLON; no concert; nothing… Just a weekend away. Sounds crazy, I know, with how much we travel. We didn’t talk about expectations or make any…

It came and I wasn’t there! My daughter is a dancer; like an AMAZING, TALENTED dancer and I am not just saying that. One of the top programs in NYC feels that way, too as they invited her to join their professional dance program this semester. The back story. Sydney did not grow up a dancer. We never really had her dance, except for one class…

Quinoa has quickly become one of my favorite go to grains. It’s easy, plays well with others in so many dishes, is high in protein, and tastes great. I really love that it works equally well as a side dish or as a main course, especially for your vegetarian friends and family. Each week I make a double portion of quinoa to use for the whole week….

Children grow up way too fast and then all of a sudden, they are off to college. We have always been a family that travels and have taken the kids with us at all stages. But, after traveling so many years with them and them on their own, my husband and I have come to the conclusion that traveling with college age kids offers many…

My daughter does not know how to eat an ice cream cone before it melts. I can blame this on many things, but I see two major reasons that may have lead to this, which I will explain. I trust you all know it is not my fault, but as her mother I will take full responsibility. Let me set this up… It is…

Over the years, I have worked hard to provide my family with the best environment I possibly can. I use organic and real foods in the house. I bake, I cook, and I work hard to make healthy and clean eating easy for my family. I use all organic and/or natural products where I can. I am in no one over the top and…

Summer is one of my favorite seasons. Well, the fact is, I love all of the seasons, just for very different reasons. Summer is my favorite foodie season with all of the wonderful colorful, organic fruits and vegetables that are available. Dana ZuckerI am a home cook that does things my way. In my kitchen, I make breakfast, pack lunches, prepare snacks, and cook dinner….

I will stand up now and declare I have pretty awesome kids and I am not just saying that. I’m just not sure how we did it. Have they had their moments? Why, yes, of course, but nothing major. Like once they hit each other, yes, just once, and I blame it on jet lag and too many delayed planes. I wanted to hit…

I was off on a 3 week adventure when Ricardo sent me this wonderful, sexy new hard case 4 wheel roll on. I am one of those “stuck on my luggage” people. I like what I have been using for years, only because it’s what I know. But, I have aways had hard case envy when I see them rolling through the airport. I was…

SUMMER WITH THE KIDS – FIRST TIME IN 9 YEARS! Let me say that again – This will be the first summer in 9 years that our kids will be home. The question that often comes next when I say this is, “Oh, do they usually spend it with another parent?” NO! David and I are their parents, but we have spent the summers alone…
