This month, I’m talking about some of my routines and sharing what works for me. Check out my previous post, How routines have made my life better to see why I’m such a fan of routine. I’ve done several day in the life posts over the years (2011, 2013, and what I eat), and recently did one on Instagram. DailyRead the whole post >>
[November Update] HEALTH | 8,000 steps a day. I succeeded this goal 67% of the month, but was within 500 steps of my goal all but four days. Lots of walking in place in the evenings! HEALTH | Only bake dessert once all month. I baked one glorious dessert with my sister – a mapleRead the whole post >>

A client finds me (usually through a referral – this particular one found me through another client inRead the whole post >>
This week: We went to a gymnastics place for open gym play with a new friend. We’ve seen her and her daughter every week so far, which has been good for me as a mother and for my kids to have a playmate. I went out to dinner with one of Mike’s coworkers who IRead the whole post >>
