The Best Laid Plans: When healthy habits don't equal good health

April 26, 2012 By Wendy 2 Comments

I’m not sure if anyone has noticed, but I’ve been conspicuously absent from my own blog lately. Sure, I’ve posted a few things here or there, and a couple reviews for some fantastic Earth Month sponsors, but the personal posts have been few and far between. The reason?

August 19, 2010 By Wendy Leave a Comment

No, not this kind of jam… I’m talking about this kind of jam.  Traffic. Ugh. Today’s post was supposed to be a celebration of my 100th blog post, but I’m not in much of a partying mood. I left work at 4:30 today and drove into dead stop traffic.  This is me at 5pm… …and…
