I’ve lost track of how many events on my calendar have been cancelled this year. Concerts, birthday parties, wedding showers, work conferences . . . the list goes on. But one event I refuse to let this pandemic take from me? Running a 5K with my mom on Mother’s Day. It’s tradition, and we’re determined

Like countless other arts organizations, ballet companies depend on ticket sales to stay in operation, but selling tickets is impossible when performance venues are closed.

I’m just going to carry a box of these Trader Joe’s Hi-Protein Veggie Burgers in my purse. That way, anytime someone asks me, “How do you get enough protein if you don’t eat meat?” (for the gazillionth time), I’ll just whip out these bad boys. This veggie burger has 26 grams of protein! In one

I’m grocery shopping every two weeks, hitting one to three stores in one trip to get everything my family will need, but the one thing I can’t find is flour. The baking aisles have been barren, with only a stray bag of coconut flour and a box of muffin mix left behind. I usually bake

There are a lot of great things about warmer weather, but it definitely means we need to switch up our workout wear. We’re working up enough of a sweat as is, so the cooler, lighter clothes we can wear, the better. That’s why we’re stocking up on workout shorts. They’re great for both lounging around

I never know what to tell people when they ask me what my hobbies are, but I’ve finally come up with a suitable answer: I love learning how professional athletes train to be the best in their sport. It’s definitely not painting or dance classes, but in my opinion, it’s still cool in its own
