Lovers of Sea Salt, Beware!

I have noticed many products lately that tout sea salt on the packaging. Popcorn with sea salt, tortilla chips with sea salt, salted caramels with sea salt, and even chocolate with sea salt – all leap off the shelves with their eye-catching marketing and...

A Snack and a Nap

My niece, Lily, just barely turned one. She is adorable and fun and… reminds me of what it was like to have a little one around. It’s amazing how quickly you forget all the little things you once had to do as soon as your children grow beyond a certain...

The Texas Ragnar Trail Relay Debacle

This past weekend, seven friends and I ran the Ragnar Trail Relay at Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort, Texas. We trained, we planned, we packed and we ran. Every person on each team of eight runs 3 legs: a 3 miler, a 5 miler and a 7.7 miler along rocky trails with intense...
