A must-have…a must-do.

Lovely in 3 Parts
The Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin was lovely.
The Yoga Journal Conference was lovely (more on that later).
Also lovely? Drifting off to sleep home in my own bed with what is sure to be visions of sugar plums downdogs and warrior I’s dancing in my head as I get some well earned sleep.
Good night, friends!
Yoga Journal Conference
I am heading to Lake Geneva for the next few days for the Yoga Journal Conference. Last night, I was all “I can blog about this while I’m there, I can blog about that while I’m there” until I realized that being a yoga conference and all, I should probably…not. I should probably be present. I should probably sit still with my little over active mind, be in the moment and see what there is to see, experience what there is to experience.
So that’s the game plan. I’ll be back to regularly scheduled blogging on Sunday but in the meantime, have a great weekend, soak up the sun and maybe get your namaste on.
“This Chicken Will Cut You”
Remember this? The Bloggess’ Christmas Miracle of 2010? The blog post I was reading when Ryan came home to find me sobbing while holding the cat and blubbering on about the Christmas spirit and George Bailey and how the world might actually being a good place after all?
Well, The Bloggess has struck again, this time with a hilarious blog post about what it means to pick your battles.
2 things come up for me here.
1) 15 years into my marriage, I really, really hope I remember that the gift for 15 years is big metal chickens.
2) I am so glad I have friends who also think spending $100 on a big metal chicken would be totally worth it strictly based on how many belly laughs would result.
So, if you had a bad day, a great day or don’t even remember what today was, read this. It will make you laugh and laughing creates endorphins and who doesn’t need more of those?
High five.
26 Summer Cooking Rules via Bon Appétit
1) How gorgeous is this fruit collage?!
2) I agree wholeheartedly with Bon Appetit’s Rule No. 9– everything tastes better with chiles and lime. There’s a huge lime moment happening in my life (and kitchen) right now.

U2 at Soldier Field
The 360 set was unreal, the music was amazing and the energy coming from the 65,000+ people in the crowd at Soldier Field was unbelievable.
And when U2 played “It’s a Beautiful Day“, I fist pumped with the best of ’em.
It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen on one of the most beautiful nights of the summer in one of the coolest venue around.
Mad love for U2…and Chicago, per usual.
Happy Independence Day!
From sea to shining sea…
God Bless America!
Have a safe and happy 4th, friends!
