Love my newest workout at Orange Theory. An hour of high intensity cardio mixed with strength training. The hour flies by, I’ve burned almost 600 calories and continue to burn calories all day!!

So my son’s cat from China had a very sheltered life after he was rescued,  lived in a tiny apartment and his world was four square walls. He is a very spoiled and happy cat now … 



My mother was the queen of saying the craziest things. I plan on sharing some of her profound sayings in the future but for now, this towel says it all!!!!

My oldest son has been living in China for four years teaching English as a foreign language … He has finally moved back and brought his adorable little street cat that he found dirty and scared on the streets of Shenzhen. After a lot of stress, work and money he got this little guy to America, one lucky cat. People have said I ruined my kids with this crazy love of animals …. I beg to differ!!!

Beautiful day in London, shopping on Oxford Street and strolling through Hyde Park … 

The Costco loving husband is at it again, this time apples!!! So I cored and peeled 8 cups of apples, threw them in my crockpot with a cup of water and cinnamon. Four hours later on high ….. mashed them up (I like to add a little vanilla) and you have delicious, homemade applesauce …. Of course we had to have pork chops, yummy dinner!!!!

Had the honor of seeing my nephew in his first speaking part in Peter Pan. He was a lost boy, great job Thatcher!!

Love spending time with my niece in AZ … Especially her perfect, beautiful dogs!!!

In Arizona watching my beautiful niece in a skating competition ….. Graceful and beautiful!!!
