Celebrating Father’s Day

Posted on June 15, 2014 by Coco

Today I will be celebrating Father’s Day by letting my husband watch our son’s lacrosse game while I get a massage. There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?

Happy Father's Day

Things I’m Doing Differently For The Lawyers Have Heart 10K

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Coco

Tomorrow I’m running the Lawyers Have Heart 10K. It is the least favorite race that I run almost every year, but I do it because I am a lawyer, I support the American Heart Association, and the race starts and ends at my office, so I really have no excuse.

So, why do I dislike this race so much? Continue reading →

Enjoying Coffee In Europe

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Coco

You know I love my Starbucks, but when I travel out of the country I do like to try local coffee shops. On my last trip, I enjoyed some delicious coffee in Europe.

The day we arrive started with a hit of airplane coffee,
made tolerable with a spike of Starbucks Via®. Continue reading →

The Boulder Flatirons

Posted on June 9, 2014 by Coco

Last weekend we visited my daughter in Boulder, Colorado. It was a crazy trip–I got home from Copenhagen on Thursday afternoon, unpacked, did laundry, and re-packed for our 8 am flight on Friday–but it was worth it to see her and celebrate her college graduation. Plus, I never get tired of looking at the Boulder Flatirons.

Rainy Boulder Flatirons

We hit the ground running on Friday, meeting my daughter for brunch and then going shopping at the Pearl Street Mall. We didn’t check into our hotel until a torrential rain storm came through, causing flash flood warnings. Continue reading →

June Java (Coffee Date)

Posted on June 7, 2014 by Coco

Thanks for stopping by for this month’s Ultimate Virtual Coffee Date hosted by Jill Conyers, Nikki at Grab Your Kicks and Lynda at Fitness Mom Wine Country. Can I get you a cup of coffee or tea before we catch up?

Virtual Coffee Date

If we were having coffee together, I would tell you that my May was crazy and my June will be crazier. I was out of town last weekend, have to go out of town tomorrow, and have another business trip that will steal half of my weekend the week after next. Next weekend is my only full weekend at “home” but it’s jam packed with the Lawyer’s Have Heart 10K, a special Moms Run This Town spinning class at Revolve, a friend’s 50th birthday party, and Father’s Day! I really don’t glorify busy, but I can’t seem to avoid it.

If we were having coffee together, I would tell you that parenting college-aged children is tough. It is hard not to step in to “fix” their problems, but it so much more rewarding for everyone when we take a step back and support them as they find their own way.

Smashed iPhone

My son’s third smashed iPhone in 18 months.
He’s paying for its replacement–and any others since we’ve been booted
off  the phone insurance. 🙁

If we were having coffee together, I would tell you that I logged over 400,000 steps in May! I did not enter the contest at work because I wanted to give others a chance to win, but June is the last month and it is game on! 😉

May Steps

If we were having coffee together I would tell you that, because of my hectic work schedule, my other goals for June are simple, but probably will be harder to achieve than they seem!

Do you like iced coffee in the summer?

How much sleep do you usually get?
