I hope everyone who needs a smile watches the brief (2:04 minutes) video in my most recent Moms@Work post. P.S. Michelle Obama's daughter may not feel the same way - you know how we parents seem to live just to embarrass our teenage children.

Schooled on skiing
I spent most of my childhood in a village nestled in a valley between two (smallish) mountains. Each of these mountains was home to a (smallish) ski resort. Despite the proximity of these places to experience skiing, I personally never availed myself of the opportunity. Skiing was always a bit beyond the budget, a fact … Continue reading Schooled on skiing

The only thing that ever so slightly marred the afternoon was an exchange we observed between a couple as we headed up a hill following … Continue reading Snow job
From tepid to hot to steamy
In my attempt to recreate last year's Christmas in the desert, I bought myself a week's worth of unlimited yoga classes at the Hot Yoga Spot in Stuyvesant Plaza. I'd heard good things about this studio and was excited to sample as many classes as possible during my holiday break and for $25, it was … Continue reading From tepid to hot to steamy
