I added flip turns back into my repertoire this week. It didn’t even occur to me until the end of my swim Monday that I no longer have a big belly prohibiting my body from folding in half! Every one of the Stroller Posse girls mentioned lower back pain at some point during lunch Tuesday [...]

doing his nights

My mother-in-law sent me the fantastic book Bringing up Bébé and I’ve been trying The Pause technique with much success. Last night Baby A “did his night” with almost eight hours straight and I slept only an hour less! After he ate breakfast we dozed side by side then I passed him to my husband [...]

Yesterday in yoga I realized my rear end had become jiggly. This is something I’ve worked hard to avoid my entire adult life and a quality my yoga teacher praises as being essential for childbirth. Well, looks like my body is ready for having this baby! In every class we do juicy hips- hip circles, [...]

Yesterday, our morning began with tea & coffee, left outside our door by the wonderful host at Casa la Ventana. We went upstairs to the open-air common area to eat fresh tamales as the sun rose over the lush green mountains. Boca de Tomatlan is in a valley, cut in half by a river that [...]
let’s go fly a kite

My husband has been on a kite-buying binge lately so we’re the proud owners of two new kites, which live in the truck of the car for emergency purposes. Today began with the idea of running to the beach and looking at an open house near Sutro park but transformed itself into driving to the [...]
Day 2

I just got home after a long night out- salsa dancing and then a party. My first stop was the Red Poppy Art House, where a Cuban band played and the bartender offered free shots. I drank mint tea. My second stop was a friend’s house party in the Marina. I was struck by the friendliness [...]
with my sisters

A chorus of birdsong woke us earlier than we were ready to be awake this morning but by the time we were out running, the humidity already felt uncomfortably heavy. Nevertheless, I loved my short run with both sisters! We were instructed by our host to always stay to the right so we’d eventually loop [...]

The entire world was at Crissy Field this morning enjoying the summer weather. After feeling really bored with swimming Saturday I decided that my leg was well enough to walk a few miles so when my friend called this morning, I excitedly met her at Crissy Field. I wore shorts and a t-shirt, and enjoyed [...]
wading & waiting

My exercise of the day was carrying my luggage through the airport and now alternately sitting and standing in the space of my window seat while the plane receives a new part (1 1/2 hr delay so far). Charming. Our drive into Atlanta this morning took almost three hours and the drive to Estes from [...]
10 reason to take the train

1. There’s no internet so you have plenty of time to finish your latest novel, sleep, watch the scenery, listen to war stories told by the old gentleman across the room or make new friends 2. Train security doesn’t exist. You and all of your bags hop on and off the train. There are no [...]
