Fall and Halloween! Fall and Halloween have been our themes over the past month. It’s been over fifteen years since I’ve lived in a place that has four distinct seasons and people celebrate Halloween. So, it’s been an extra special year while I rediscover my youth and enjoy the … [Read more...] about SMART Goals: November, 2014 + Holiday Giveaway

SMART Goals: October, 2014
I’m still buzzing from the first ever Kids Yoga Conference this past weekend in Washington, DC! The clear message flying around the community is how happy we were to meet each other in person. It was like spending a weekend with long-lost friends. The presenters’ content was … [Read more...] about SMART Goals: October, 2014
SMART Goals: August & September, 2014
Is summer really over? But it’s still warm here in New England! We had a fabulous August, with all of our family visiting from Canada. They even humored me with a photo shoot on the beach in various yoga poses (see picture below). So cute!

It reminded me that … [Read more...] about SMART Goals: May, 2014
SMART Goals: March, 2014
Snow, snow, and more snow! That has been my focus for the past few weeks. Snow plowing, raking snow off the roof, water leaks in the house, and no-school snow days. Wow, what an adventure! And to think that we left seventy-degree San Francisco weather for this! Just … [Read more...] about SMART Goals: March, 2014
SMART Goals: February, 2014
I didn’t meet all of my January goals, but that wasn’t really the point. I am a person driven by actionable goals, and my daughter has taught me to slow down and enjoy the journey. Things seem to have progressed extremely slowly during this relocation, and I go to bed at night … [Read more...] about SMART Goals: February, 2014
SMART Goals: January, 2014
My life has literally been turned upside down. Or maybe I should say, it’s been turned right-side up. My family recently moved from a small two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco to a country home west of Boston. Two extremes. Not only have we moved across the country, even … [Read more...] about SMART Goals: January, 2014
