Easter Joy Away From Home – Shari’s Berries

April 8, 2015

Happy Belated Easter! I apologize for the late post but being inadvertently unplugged for a week has its drawbacks. Not to mention the whole traveling across country on Easter Day aspect. I don’t know about you guys but the holidays for me are steeped in tradition. Precious ones that Surferboy and I grew up with […]

Fresh Honeydew Mint Smoothie – Stonyfield Giveaway

March 31, 2015

Per the norm, I do things in reverse. Where I should be telling you all about how I changed my eating habits the last three months and what I didn’t eat instead I’m jumping ahead just a bit with a “reintroduction” recipe. I can’t help myself, I am a little excited about this one. I […]

Me, My Goiter and My Journey with Graves Disease

March 24, 2015

*Warning, this is not a short post, not even remotely! When a jabber jaw has been absent for months, she tends to go over board to make up for it, not to mention refer to herself in the third person* Well hello there strangers! How have y’all been? I have missed you guys!! Really, I […]

Mixing Up a Healthy Lifestyle With Your Teens!

December 8, 2014

It is hard to believe that the New Year is right around the corner! I know, we just began the month of December and here I am talking about 2015. However, we all know how time flies. We also know that the New Year is when most of us try to form a resolution to […]

Carolina Dogs Gone Healthy!

September 1, 2014

Today’s the day! You know, Labor Day the day where we officially with permission get to be 100% sloths. Ya know I love it! Now are your grills fired up and ready to cook some succulent meat? Supposedly, it is also the “last day of summer” and all but, I’m wholeheartedly ignoring that disheartening classification. […]

41 is FUN! Thoughts on Aging

August 21, 2014

Being 41 is FUN! Ya know, in case y’all were wondering, are slightly apprehensive or just plain curious about middle age. Honestly my 40’s far surpass my 20’s. Some say, “Age is just a number” or “Embrace your age”, and they are right. Personally though I never think about age at all. A simpler motto, […]

Morning Moments ~ Beach Daisies & Henry David Thoreau

May 8, 2014

I’m trying Henry, I’m truly trying. Any helpful tips? Here’s to a day full of simple heartfelt purpose. Coffee/tea cheers! xoxo Love, Shari * Discovered this cheery patch of daisies yesterday evening growing among the sea grass while Patch was out prepping for his up and coming lifeguard training, the quote is one of my favorites borrowed […]

January 2, 2014

I did it. Finally. Irrevocably. There is no turning back now. Its sink or swim time for sure. Can you guys tell I’m anxious? Seriously, my nails are suffering miserably right now. Oh well chin up, deep breathes here I go. As most of you know, I have dabbled in art my entire life. I […]

Devoted to a New Year

January 2, 2014

Its funny how opposite Daniel and I are, we’ve been together so long that sometimes I completely forget our differences. Most New Year’s Eves I am brimming with anticipation wondering what adventures the year will bring. What will we learn, how will we change and grow especially the boys because they seem to be transforming […]
