After a relaxing three-day weekend, I hit the ground running delivering a live television segment Sonoran Living, ABC15 in Phoenix, a show I appear on regularly. First, I woke up early to blog, accompanied by my morning cup of Joe in a new mug my friend...

Welcome back from Fourth of July weekend! I hope yours turned out to be everything you wanted. This summer, my family and I enjoyed a staycation at The Westin Kierland, a family-friendly resort less than an hour away from home. I was able to...

The new 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released in January 2011, and the MyPlate, which replaced the MyPyramid of 2005, debuted early June. Add to that the National Sodium Reduction Initiative and First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign and one could say we’ve...

Since some of you have been dying for me to give you this recipe, I thought I’d share it today, and tell you about my Fresh & Easy headquarters visit tomorrow. Enjoy! This is the recipe for the scrumptious quiche I ate at my friend...

The morning was go, go, go, as Kim and I rallied the little ones to spend the morning at the park. After I sipped my coffee, I slapped together a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and grabbed a bunch of grapes for breakfast. Kim...

Yesterday was the perfect mommy/daughter day, complete with three meals together at the kitchen table, and a day of activities that would make Mister Roger beam. Before getting out of bed this morning, I bought myself a few more minutes by giving Scarlet bananas in a bowl...
