Fitness Friday: The Old School Retro Playlist
The Ultimate Tailgating Buffalo Chicken Sub Sandwich (aka Hoagie or Grinder)
In three days it will officially be Autumn. Autumn represents cooler weather, changing leaves and tailgating season! This is the big time of year for football and soccer games, as well as the parties and food rituals that surround them. For our family, that also means tailgating at the Soccer game each week.

A Day In The Life: Finding my ‘Om’ & Detoxifying at Urban Sweat
Happy hump day my friends! I had an amazing few hours today that I can’t fully share in detail since we are enjoying the outdoor weather and emptying the pool (Boo) before Open House at school night. However, I wanted to share some photos from my four hours at Urban Sweat in Cranston, Rhode Island….
Sauteed Garlic Lemon Pork Chops with Mushrooms & Onion
This morning I kissed my son’s sweet round cheeks and whispered ‘Good Morning’. He stretched, kicked off his blanket, yawned, rolled over and sort of yelled ‘Why do my legs feel like rubber bands every morning?!’ I replied ‘That is how Mommy feels every morning before she drinks her coffee.’ Since Mommy also seems to…

A Day In The Life: A Workout at RISE Gymnastics

Almond Chocolate Milkshake for National Chocolate Milkshake Day
Today is National Chocolate Milkshake Day. It is also Day 18,001 that my entire throat has been in pain so I need some frosty relief. I grabbed the frozen vanilla yogurt and chocolate almond milk and made it happen. You should as well. This shake will separate quickly so just make and swallow. If the…
