We parked right by the trailhead. Hiking boots were tied, snacks packed and water bottles ready to go. A highlight of our annual family camping trip in the Adirondacks was this eight-hour round-trip hike. We were all excited to climb Snowy Mountain, a favorite on my husband’s side of the family with a breathtaking view. A first for me…
I missed one little detail. Everyone talked about the amazing view - not the amazing views. Did you pick up on it? View - singular.

From the items on the belt, it was a husband and father in front of me. I will never forget his face when he saw the total costs of his groceries show up on the screen. I almost felt bad. It was at the tail end of COVID. It looked like he got sent to the store, with an extensive and detailed list. He double-checked all of the items in his two shopping carts (yes, two!), against his long list.
I am not sure if it was he or his wife who added a bouquet of flowers to the list, but I want to believe that it was him and that he brought them home for her. Sweet. I was afraid the flowers would get cut once he was asked to settle the bill but, extra credit, he kept the flowers. Spring is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to give your home a fresh start. Spring cleaning is a time-honored tradition that provides a chance to declutter, reorganize, and deep clean your living space. This annual clean-up can help you eliminate items you no longer need, create more storage space, and give your home a clean, bright, and rejuvenated look. Whether you tackle your spring cleaning in one day or spread it out over the course of a few weeks, the end result will be a refreshed home that's ready to welcome the new season.
Life happens. Even with deep breathing exercises, daily yoga, meditation and journaling - stressful situations will find ways into our lives. Unfortunately, we don’t get to control what happens to us, but we get to choose how we react to it. The more balanced and grounded we feel, the better we can handle all the things that get thrown at us.
It is getting warmer and outdoor practices are being added to the family calendar, which means that evenings are getting even busier.

And who wouldn't want to feel like a top-quality chef every night of the week? Here are some tips for making your freezer meal stockpile a success:
