My latest 30 Before 30 project was one of the more ambitious items on my list. Running a 10K is not something that can be accomplished simply by coughing up some money. It was only going to happen if I put the time and effort into training. So I did. I downloaded a training schedule…

I’ve been taking it very very easy this week in preparation for my big 10K this weekend. I’m not nervous yet, but I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune once it’s actually race time. Have you ever seen a green plum? Me neither. But they exist, and I found them at Trader Joe’s. And…

Football may be in full swing, but UGA actually had a bye for the second weekend of the season. With the extra time, I headed to Hoboken for a much needed night with my best gal, Steph. We may have had plans to tear up the town but instead ended up sitting on the couch,…

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Though I planned to go on a grand adventure on Labor Day itself, the weather was too up in the air to commit. I still enjoyed a wonderful weekend roaming my beautiful city so there are no complaints here. I am always drawn to these teeny…

After yet another wedding this past weekend I’m looking forward to having the time free to relax. Because I’ve been traveling a lot recently, I’m hoping this weekend affords me the opportunity to catch up with friends around here. The door to the kitchen at Cohen’s Retreat is pretty much better than any restaurant swinging kitchen…

Everytime I come back to NYC after being home I have the desire to go back. This is nothing new. But now I really reeeeally want to go back because I’ve gotten a taste of my Brooks. He’s a newborn so he’s not doing much, but even in the week that I was there I…

The Konters are on cloud 9 right now because last week on July 22nd my nephew, Brooks Lawrence Konter, made his grand entrance into this world. I am home right now enjoying every moment with him and already beginning the process of spoiling him rotten. That’s why Godmothers exist. My precious little Brooksy, only a…
