This blog was created by two friends who made a pledge to try something new, fun, challenging, or even ridiculous every week for a year. At times, life got in the way, but we forged ahead. Our stories have educated, entertained or inspired many. In 2012, we hope to inspire many others to get better, get moving or get over it!

We’ve all heard it before: New Year’s resolutions don’t work. In fact, according to an article in this week’s Huffington Post, psychologist Richard Wisemen says nearly 80 percent of people who set New Year’s resolutions fail.

We quickly realized that doing something (even something small) and writing about it weekly was much easier said than done! But our concept [...]

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!– Dr. Seuss Here I go again with the French stuff. Despite having yet to make it to Paris (read about this ongoing quest), I continuously find myself drawn to French food, vintage French [...]
