Motivational Monday!
Saturday morning I attended an 8 am hot yoga class here in Hoboken. I don't usually attend weekend classes because they are packed and I'm not that comfortable with my yoga skillset just yet. "Packed" means there are about 40 people in the class and no matter which...

I recently started watching Ted Lasso again. My daughter was over this Saturday, and she's not much of a TV person, but I had suggested Shrinking and she loved it, so I thought Ted Lasso would also be a good fit—and it was. Sunday, another one of my daughter's came...

Motivational Monday!
On Saturday night, Doug and I confirmed that our plans for Sunday morning were twofold: we would drop Clare off at her yoga studio and head into NYC for church. I love a plan, and I hate when a plan gets foiled—and that's what happened overnight. Doug didn't sleep...
