About Me



I'm a corporate working-mom in my late 40s.  My husband, Tom, and I had our 24th wedding anniversary on October 22, 2018.  We have three children:  a teenage daughter (Phoebe) who is a freshman in college and twin boys in elementary school (Tommy and Liam).  I had a long battle (over 10+ years) with infertility and all our children are from infertility treatments.  

My husband is now back home with us in Pennsylvania after working in Colorado away from us for 15 months.  We missed him terribly and are very happy to have him back home!!!

I love healthy recipes, yoga, podcasts, gardening and obviously blogging.  I really try hard to balance working with being the best mom to our kids, keeping our house organized.  I also graduated from Villanova in May 2014 with my MBA.  My bachelor's degree is in electrical engineering.

I'm also a Beachbody coach!  If you are interested in Shakeology, any of the other Beachbody products and exercise videos or if you would like to become a Beachbody coach, please reach out to me at my websites:

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
