I feel like “morning routine” can be a bit of a buzzword. It makes sense since whatever you do coming out of your deep (or not so deep!) slumber can really influence how the rest of your day will go. I have a morning routine that I am pretty happy with. It has very much […]

Motivation is garbage
Wait. What? Have you ever heard yourself say/think: “I’ll do it when I feel like it. I’ll do it when I feel motivated. I’m not motivated to do it, so it probably means I shouldn’t do it. I don’t feel ready.” We’ve all been there on some level, right? I know I have. And where has that gotten us? Nowhere. Well, […]
Ready, set … CHRISTMAS!
We are getting to that time of year. The time of year that flies by the fastest. First it’s Halloween. Then Thanksgiving. Then Christmas. Then, what?!?!? 2023 already?!?! Have you noticed how retail brings Thanksgiving decor out with all the Halloween stuff and then it all disappears right after Halloween has passed? I went to […]
A day in the life of a music teacher
Last Friday I thought it would be fun to document a typical day and created a video blog. I hear you call that a “vlog”? It’s my first time doing anything like this so I’m still working out the kinks. But it was super fun to make. Definitely check it out! Here’s a basic run […]
Iron yogini 2.0
For those of you that have been followers of my blog for a few years, you will remember that it didn’t start out as “Happy Fit ‘n Free”. I actually started writing back in 2012 as “iron yogini” and created a blog at www.ironyogini.com. This was soon after I had completed an Ironman and was […]
First year of marriage: A reflection
Michael and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary a week ago. I still can’t believe one year has gone by since we said our “I dos” to each other. And what a year it has been! We honeymooned in Portugal. Sold our condo. Bought a house. Spent 6 weeks in Australia & New Zealand. […]
38 years young
I just completed my 38th year around the sun last week. It was awesome. My husband surprised me with a beautiful breakfast. (he was trying to make up for leaving that evening to spend Yom Kippur in Pennsylvania … he made up for it quite well!) I had some close girlfriends over and had wine […]
Life is what happens between coffee & wine…
Summer break is here. And boy has it been busy! You see, we are leaving the country next weekend for 6 weeks (EEEEEEEEEEEK!) and are scrambling around planning the trip (because, uhhhhh, other stuff – school! – got in the way of the planning?) and taking care of last minute house things. Well, not necessarily […]
My topsy-turvy world
It has been nearly a month since I last wrote a blog post. Which is very unlike me. Well, when I am not out of the country. LOL! Since we moved 3 weeks ago, I have been trying to find some resemblance of a routine. Because I like routine. I feel comfortable with routine. I operate best […]
30 days of awesome stuff…
So, it’s May. How on earth did that happen? April went by in the blink of an eye. Even though it was a FULL month for us Rosenbergs. 30 very full days. Let’s see. We started off with Easter Sunday in NJ. Saw the house we would ultimately buy on Monday. Found out we got […]
