Saturday was rough. Let’s just say I never saw the morning light. Or even much of the afternoon light. The sun hurt my eyes. But at 4pm we were alive and ready to hit the beach with some friends. Who ended up leaving the beach. Never mind. So we got pedicures. My girl took out … More Day 188: Beach Bums
Friday afternoon, we were back at the beach. With cool hats. Shady umbrellas. And more hats. The ultimate sun protection. The sun was hot. The sky was clear. The surf was blue. The dunes were white.

Did anyone watch the Bachelorette last night?? I have to say, I was not surprised to see Sean go home. Emily kept calling him “perfect” which basically means “boring”. Sorry kid.

It was wonderful stepping away from the blog and just enjoying time with my best friend and my … More Day 183: Vacation is Over

It was easy. And not so scary. And way too salty. But when you’re cooking, your first attempt is never perfect. But eventually delicious. … More Day 182: Kale Chips

Is it already Monday?? Where has the time gone. It seems like so much happened this weekend. Until I actually review what I did and realize it was not much at all. What was I doing? Sleeping?
