Coachella 2015 for the 45+ Crowd
April 16, 2015 By
One of the most amazing aspects of living in the Palm Springs area is the diverse array of special events, shows and festivals. When it’s not blazing hot, there’s an event for almost everybody on any given weekend. This week finds the Coachella Valley in the middle of week one and week two of the Coachella Music Festival, one of the biggest events in the desert. Tom and I ventured into the unknown (for us) territory of modern music festivals at {Read More}
Southwestern Chopped Salad with a Kick!
April 14, 2015 By
This Southwestern Chopped Salad recipe is seriously one of my all-time favorites! I love the Spring! Especially all the amazing produce that starts flooding into the farmers market and the local grocery stores. We tend to eat a bit lighter in the Spring than we do in the Winter, perhaps because of those veggies and that we love to grill outside when the evenings are warm. Last night, I put together one of my favorite salads I’ve been making for years, my {Read More}

April 10, 2015 By
In my recent blog post Tips and Takeaways from Social Media Marketing World ’15, I shared the following fact that really has me rethinking the lack of priority I place on Pinterest marketing in my social media mix. Don’t get me wrong, I pin almost every blog post I write, and I try to create imagery that is pinnable. But in general, I spend much less time focusing on Pinterest than I do on Facebook and Twitter. Yet Pinterest is now often used {Read More}

We Survived the Paleo Challenge!
April 7, 2015 By
Saturday marked the end of our six-week Paleo Challenge at Desert Crossfit. During this challenge, we have followed as closely as possible to the Paleo Diet, which consists of eating meat, vegetables, fruit, and nuts. The list of what we could NOT eat was much longer and included dairy, grains of any sort, sugar, processed food or food with ingredients you can’t pronounce, and alcohol. We decided near the beginning that we wouldn’t give up our tablespoon of Natural Bliss Coffeemate {Read More}

April 2, 2015 By
Whether you have been married five years or 25+ years like me, you’ve probably wondered if date night is really all that important. YES, date night matters! No matter how long you’ve been married. And especially if you are in the midst of raising kids. I know, it can seem like one more thing you “ought” to do, like a chore. Yet it’s so important to the health of your marriage! Of course, I know that isn’t a new flash {Read More}
