Every Friday morning I can be found doing Pilates with the ladies at the YMCA in New Canaan. I’ve participated in both mat and reformer classes, although I much prefer using a reformer (pictured here).

Invented by Joseph Pilates, this is the most amazing workout I’ve ever done.

If you haven’t tried this yourself, Google the nearest Pilates studio and give it a whirl!

We live on a lake across from a golf course. About once a week, Greg and I hop in the canoe and paddle over to the edge of the course where we find lots and lots of golf balls.

Using our handy golf ball scooper, we grab the abandoned balls from the water and along the shore.

The kids love to hit them back into the lake while practicing their swings. Although it’s usually in the range of 25-30 balls per trip, our record is 117 balls in one haul!
