I love everything that my friend Pamela Salzman creates – I just wish we lived closer so we could film more Instagram recipes together! I also love anything that mimics the flavors of pizza without the loaded heaviness and carbs, so when Pamela posted this I knew I had to share it with you. These are […]

This was timely because “Quitter’s Day” comes around just a couple of weeks into January. I hadn’t […]

My gorgeous friend, Anna Dearmon Kornick, has one of my all-time favorite podcasts about work and life and balance. As an entrepreneurial busy mom of four who leads a very full (yet flexible!) life, you can see why I like it, right? So OF COURSE I said yes when Anna invited me onto her show! […]
