the S family experience
We recently came back from our family vacation in Mexico. As I’m writing this blog post, I want to be there, looking at the ocean, hearing the waves, soaking up the sun, drinking a BBC. Ever since I was little, my family has been going on a family vacation every year. We usually pick a resort, all-inclusive and usually in…

the inevitable espn
ESPN is ALWAYS on at our house, and not necessarily by my choice. Now don’t get me wrong, it serves a good purpose sometimes. I do enjoy basketball and get into the games and I have caught myself getting to a football game or two when it involves the 49ers (who are near and dear to my husbands heart). When he’s…

year one
After getting back to reality (and by reality I mean back on land) after a cruise vacation with my husband in celebration of our first year of marriage, a bit of reflection is in order. A whole year has passed since we said “I Do” and became official husband and wife. I gave up my Italian last name (wait is…

what are you grateful for?
“If you are thankful for what you have now, you will always have more.” – Oprah “If you want to change your state of being, start with gratitude.” – Tony Robbins “Wherever there is appreciation, there is duplication.” – Bishop TD Jakes As you can tell from the quotes above, I’ve been watching a lot of Oprah’s Lifeclass lately. It’s…

attack of the flying insect
I hate bugs. Let me repeat that. I HATE BUGS. It’s the reason why I don’t like camping, fishing or anything outdoors. Creepy crawlers send me into a scream-a-thon that’ll wake the neighbors because they think someone is being killed or tortured. I usually enlist my husband to do the killing, while I sit up on the couch pointing and…

another year, a new journey
I turned yet another year in my 30’s this past weekend. Yep, I’ve given up the fact that I’m young. It’s all downhill (or should I say uphill) from here. At least I’ll be moving up the age ladder with a good pair of Coach sunglasses. The weeks leading up to my birthday I had a couple of ideas of…

my weekend with Oprah (well, kind of)
See Part 1 The time finally came. The chance to go see Oprah live, with guest teacher Tony Robbins as the icing on the best cake ever (you can pick whatever cake you want, carrot cake is my favorite so I’m going with that). This was an experience of a lifetime and I’m so grateful I was able to be…

Oprah!!!!!
This past Sunday morning was like any other Sunday. I got up late, sat up on my bed and checked my email on my phone. It’s a ritual I do on the weekends. Usually it’s the same emails I get on the weekends: Spafinder specials, Pillsbury recipes, LivingSocial/Groupon deals, etc. This Sunday was different… I have been a fan of…

zzz…
I am not a morning person. I’ve never been one. I remember when I first started in the working world people would tell me that I won’t be waking up at noon anymore because I need to get up at 8am every morning for work and my body will just get used to it. I’ve been in the working world…

i’m not 21 anymore…
Yes I know that title is a given, I haven’t been 21 in a while, but for some reason I am constantly testing this theory… With my sisters being younger and especially my youngest one being in a different life stage, I’m constantly testing the theory if I can party the way she can (even though I do thank her…
