Is Your Better Half Really Your Better Half?

I love Evan Marc Katz, his writing makes a lot of sense. It talks about what makes a good relationship  WHO we pick and why. In the end why it lasts. One of the lines that stuck with me in his article titled: The Most Important Thing You Can Learn from Old, Married Couples was this: 

“So when you’re assessing your dating prospects and are thinking past the lust phase into “Who will be wheeling me to my chemo treatments in 40 years”, consider that everything that attracts you comes with a considerable downside.”

How true is this! It’s not about looks or being financially independent or smart. It’s about having a companion who has empathy, compassion, who you trust, can see them being by your side during the hardest moments of your life.  Who do you want holding your hand in your doctor’s appointment? Who do you want to laugh with when life has you down? Who will compromise with you? Who will you be able to communicate your feelings with even when it’s something they don’t want to hear?

Looks fade. Money comes and goes. Brains well face it anyone can be smart if they apply themselves. But who do you want to wake up to everyday and conquer the world with?

People who I pictured a future with where people I could be real with. Who I could discuss anything and everything with. Someone I trusted to emotionally be able to take care of me. Isn’t that important?

How’s Your Morning Routine?


I love working out in the morning. I even have these three join in and now we swim after. It’s honestly the perfect way to start the day. I make sure we do laps around the pool. We swim for about 45 minutes. Then we go inside get dressed. Have breakfast and begin our day. 

What’s your morning routine? 



Be Happy That’s Your Only Focus

Change Your Thinking!


I read somewhere that said that all your experiences had to happen so you could love yourself. 

It had me thinking. Every situation teaches your something. Once you change your mind your experiences change. 

Metro Kitchen & Bar In Fairfield


I have been hearing about this place. I then saw an article where it is the same owners at Boca and figured it had to be good. We popped in and realized it’s where Crave Bar used to be. They took over ownership and redid the inside. 

The food was delicious. We ordered pup food. Onion rings. Fried chicken bites. Fried pickles. Their steak sandwich was real slices of steak. It was delicious. A big spot inside too.

The Pepino Melon





First time I ever saw these. I was shopping for fruit for my kids and wanted to have them try something new. I saw these and they are the size of my palm. They are called cucumber melons. Not sure sweet. Perfect for salads. So fun and cute. You can find them in the tropical fruit aisle of your grocery store.
