Bon Anniversaire/Bon Voyage

December 31, 2009

My Mom has always talked about how difficult it is to have a birthday so close to Christmas. People are tired because they just worked their hiney’s off prepping for Christmas, and are overwhelmed with the thought of the new year and the laundry list of looming resolutions.
 
Well, this year, we celebrated Mom’s 55th [...]

Sandra Lee Jr.

December 30, 2009

I realized the other day that I haven’t actually posted a recipe in a while. Well, there is a reason for that. You see, I haven’t actually been cooking. I know, who the heck am I?
 
My meals lately are more of a compilation of various ingredients thrown together and called “dinner.” Kind of like this [...]

Courtney at the Dentist

December 29, 2009

David and I have way too much in common these days.

 
I had to venture to the dentist this morning to get not one, but to fillings and bonus…a cleaning! What can I say, the sugar just calls my name and I can’t resist. Me likey, but my teeth do not.
 
After spending several hours in the [...]

Maps don’t know everything.

December 28, 2009

I can remember sitting in a yoga class just days before the new year, and hearing my teacher Ashley say her motto for the new year: “2009 is mine!”  Her no fear attitude and her enthusiasm were inspiring, and I have thought about that single moment in class several times over the past year when [...]

Holier than Thou

December 27, 2009

Yesterday I woke up and did the usual morning activities.
 
Ate breakfast.
 
Rolled around on the floor and called it yoga.
 
Showered and brushed my teeth.
 
Got a piercing.
 
No big. Just a moment of spontaneity. Actually, it was inspired by my ultra fashionable cousin Danielle, and since I like to be a follower (well, sometimes…), [...]

Twas the Day After Christmas…

December 26, 2009

Merry (day after) Christmas!
 
This time one year ago we were waltzing our freezing cold hineys to Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC for the amazzzzzing day-after Christmas sales. We have gone to NYC for Christmas for two out of the last three years and love every second of spending Christmas in the big apple.

This year, [...]

Santa? What are you doing here so soon?

December 24, 2009

For the past few years, my family and I have opened presents and done our “Christmas morning” activities on Christmas Eve. We’ve traveled on Christmas day for the past few years so we would enjoy our “Christmas morning” early so that we could fit it all in before we left town. We’re stayin’ put this [...]

The best way to spread Christmas cheer…

December 22, 2009

is baking granola for all to eat!

I’ve been channeling my inner Elf all morning and have been bonding with one of the “4 main food groups” in the kitchen…

“You like sugar, huh?”
“Is there sugar in syrup? Then YES!”

Since I am broke (what? Just tryin’ to be honest!) I decided to make Christmas presents [...]

December 21, 2009

4 epsom salt baths and one juicy yoga class later, and I can finally move my arms over my head! Thank God for my Shakti Flow class this morning – Ashley, our teacher, did the workshop too and led us through tons of shoulder openers and kept class nice and slow today. I needed that [...]

Flyin’ High

December 20, 2009

This past weekend I did a yoga workshop with Krista and Brock Cahill, and let me tell you…they mean business! Seriously, watch this…

 
Pretty amazing stuff, huh? We spent the weekend “playing with gravity” and working on every arm balance under the sun. I’m pretty sure I stood on my hands more than my feet this [...]
