Search: 168 hours

All week, I’ll be blogging about my new favorite book, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think.  It’s essentially a time management guide that challenged the way I think about my time and has helped me find a few ‘extra’ hours a week. The basic premises of the book is this:  when you [...]

Better late than never, right?  Here’s the best of the rest from Healthy Tipping Point in October and November.   Day in the Life: Part I, Part II, and Part III <—I am so glad Henry does not sleep like that anymore. 4.5 Months Old: Baby Gear We Love Life/Work Balance, 168 Hours: Where Does [...]

Like mother… Like son! Future heel clicker in the making.  (I have a thing for mid-race heel clicks as evidenced by this photo and this photo.)   Well, beyond working on our beautiful heel clicks, this morning is kind of a bust for not only Henry and I, but the Husband as well.  We planned [...]

We’re feeling a {bit} more alive over here.  We’ve done errands, relaxed, drank coffee, and soon, I’m going on a run.  Sunday started off rough, but it’s getting better. Our errands included more furniture shopping for the new clinic, as well as the weekly Sunday grocery trip.  Now that my brother-in-law lives with us, our [...]

Thanks so much for all your feedback on my Life-Work Balance post.  So many thoughtful and engaging responses… Every comment really made me think.  And since SO many people mentioned it, I am purchasing 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think TODAY. That being said, I had a pretty good night.  I decided [...]

It snowed and it snowed… all day long.  But now I think my Winter Wonderland is melting and turning into ice.  :(  Very sad. If this dinner looks a lot like yesterday’s dinner, that’s because it’s pretty much the same thing.  Toasty hummus + veg:    The Husband wanted to try Aduki beans, so I [...]

I spent my morning doing this: It wasn’t so bad.  :)  I don’t think I mind getting stuck in an airport when it’s my own choice (two free tickets to get bumped to a later flight).  I had fun people-watching and catching up on e-mails.   Plus, I was given a voucher for a free [...]

My New Year’s Resolution is to read a book every single week for the entire year – that’s a grand total of 52 books.  So far, I’m on track – although I occasionally end up “cramming” on Tuesday and Wednesday nights! However, I have managed to read four books in four weeks.  And it’s been [...]

Merry belated Christmas and Happy Boxing Day if you celebrate, and/or Happy Thursday if you don’t!  I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. Mostly, we’ve just been lounging around the house! We had a quiet Christmas morning at home. Henry couldn’t appreciate presents last year, but he definitely *got it* this year. He was so [...]

The other day, I tried to wrap my hands around Henry’s torso and discovered that my fingertips no longer touched.  He is getting so big and packin’ on the ounces like it’s his job! As of yesterday, Henry is eight weeks old.  It’s crazy that eight weeks have already passed… but at the same time, [...]

James had to attend a very important meeting at Girls on the Run headquarters today.  First, he discussed fiscal reports with Jessica.  He has to write a long memo later this afternoon. Then, he went back to his desk and spent a few hours organizing the volunteers for the upcoming 5K. And lastly, he sat [...]

Catching up on posts from the holidays?   I made an amazing Banana Bread Breakfast Bake We debated going back on birth control pills I went on my first barefoot run and discussed heel striking I listed my Top Posts of 2010 (includes informational posts, not just personal posts)   So – it’s that time [...]

After hours of driving, we arrived at the in-laws’ house to discover my sister-in-law was preparing Thai food.  Best arrival present ever! Well, second best…   I really missed my furbabies! Apparently, Maggie was a very naughty dog while we were gone!  I’m so embarrassed.  She peed on my sister-in-law’s clean laundry and barked her [...]
