I already wrote a bit about my awesome experience at the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour on Friday night, but the rest of my weekend was pretty outdoorsy and cool too. I survived snowshoeing! More on that to come. In bad news, the pipes seem to have frozen and burst at my townhouse in upstate New York… so even though things have finally settled down with inspections/estimates on my new house, I am still in contractor hell :( Which {Read More}

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Genworth. I attended a live event and received a promotional item to thank me for participating. I already wrote about how my mom and I got to see each other on Thursday/Friday, which was fantastic. But part of what we did on Friday was most atypical for us. We both had the opportunity to attend a live event sponsored by Genworth Financial. Genworth is currently embarking on {Read More}

On Saturday night, I was already feeling the soreness from my Apogee Life Fitness Festival workouts that morning. Those classes were no joke! Before I went to bed (super early – bliss!), I canceled my registration for an Uplift bootcamp on Sunday morning. Instead, I was pretty pumped that I would get to attend Wanderlust’s Yoga in the City Event in the afternoon. Stretching out my muscles couldn’t come at a more perfect time! After an amazing brunch with Ashley, Theodora, {Read More}

Okay, so I know that not everyone is into running, and I promise this year that some of the events I’ll organize will combine other forms of fitness with delicious food. But this event was such a great success last year that I didn’t want to mess with it. And so, we run!
