5 Things I’m Loving this Summer
Hats off to Summer 2021
Having skin cancer means learning about safe sun protection the hard way. I wish I had done some things differently in my younger years, but here we are. One thing that really helps protect us from the sun is wearing a hat. My amazing dermatologist at Yale, Dr. David Leffell, advises wearing a wide brim hat.
Here are a few of my favorites hats that I will be wearing on repeat all summer long.

Thank you all so much for helping me via my Instagram as we dip our toes slowly into the shark pool of cell phones for our kids. Yes, it is true that we feel like we are literally the last ones to buy our son a phone as he turns 13. The majority of the kids his age have had a phone for a while now. It never felt right for our family until now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome to the start of 2021! What a whirlwind life has been lately. Not much has really changed since the new year started even though we wish things had changed! We are still wearing masks and my kids are home this week for virtual learning.
I have a few things on my mind as we enter this new month and this new year. Before I rush into setting goals for 2021, I am actually just thinking….just sitting…just “being”.

Here is my list of ideas to help me feel good in 2021. I hope this list helps you and I also hope you will add to this list and share it with me too. Remember we are #BetterTogether!

As 2020 winds down, I’m sure we are all having lots of feelings about this past year. I won’t sugar coat it — I’m looking forward to putting this year behind us.

A much-needed girls’ night out with friends is sometimes just what we need to stay sane. The Lloyd Hotel in Stamford is a new modern designed boutique hotel with West Elm furniture. It’s located in the heart of downtown Stamford, CT. The Hotel is within walking distance to great shopping and great restaurants. I am so glad I was able to experience this new space recently for a fun and safe girls’ night out.
