Perfectly Healthy
Whenever I’m scrolling through Instagram, I invariably come across an influencer who’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. Most of her photos consist of some variation of her with perfectly toned abs and a glass of green juice – or some other kind of liquid meal – in her hand. (Inevitably followed by a picture of her…

A few weeks ago, I pulled out my food dehydrator from the back of my closet, dusted it off, and started making some raw food dishes. In case you’re wondering what a dehydrator is, it’s a piece of equipment that “cooks” your food at a very low temperature in order to preserve its nutrients. You…

A few weeks ago, I had my first colonoscopy. (In case you’re tempted to not click on “Read More,” I promise not to go into the gory details and I promise you that there’s a point to this story.) Since I turned 50 last fall, it was time to bite the bullet and schedule it.…

My daughters and I watched the movie Tootsie the other night, and Jessica Lange – the romantic lead, who I have no doubt was chosen because of how beautiful she is – looked downright matronly compared to today’s standards. She wasn’t ripped, her arms weren’t sculpted, her ass wasn’t tight and toned. It made me…

It’s been about six weeks since we’ve been locked up in our houses, and I’m sure you’re feeling about as cooped up and stir crazy as I am! It’s been a challenge to find things to do with my time, especially when I have to entertain not just myself but also my kids. But I…
Read MoreYou’re Allowed
Last week, I totally lost it. I came home from the grocery store to unload my bags in a kitchen I had just cleaned an hour ago, in response to the mess that was apparently made after I went to sleep the night before. Instead of the clean kitchen I was expecting, however, I was…

Have you ever found yourself arguing with one of your children, only to realize later how stupid and pointless it was? “You need to clean your room.” “I don’t want to clean my room.” “But you need to, because I need some help around here.” “I’m tired, and I don’t feel like it.” “Well I’m…
