Back to School Means Back to the Book Reviews

Who likes book reviews? Do you want a quick summary to see if it is really worth your time before reading or purchasing? What about getting the highlights so you don't have to read it?

I love writing book reviews. It is a systematic way for me to stay up-to-date, think critically, and share with others. My hope is that the authors, other writers, librarians, publishers, coaches, educators, and other health-minded people will read them and get something in return. For now, I'm going to post them on Linkedin and cross-post here as well.

Smith Meadows Farm at Dupont Circle

Smith Meadows Farm is an eighth generation grass farm and they sell beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. I am so happy they come to the Dupont Farmers Market. Today, I scored beef LIVER, ground pork, lamb shanks, ground lamb, ground beef, and beef sausage with basil and garlic. I am going to make the beef liver tomorrow and cannot wait!

July Jump Rope Challenge Done!

It's done...finally. It was more effort to post the jump rope snippets to Instagram than it was to jump rope every day. Check out the highlight in my profile to see ALL 31 days. Special thanks to the volunteers who were featured--Julia, Kathryn, Ethan, Mom, Chad, Miriam. Even the cats were involved! @SimpsonNutrition

July Jump Rope Challenge

Are you jumping in July? Follow me on Instagram--@SimpsonNutrition--and check out the 31-day July Jump Rope Challenge highlight in my profile. Social media is a labor of love/hate. Seriously. I started with a daily jumping post, but I got sick of seeing it every day...so I switched to posting to my story and saving it as a highlight. For me, it isn't hard to remember to jump rope each day. What is difficult is remembering to ask someone to record me jumping--or for me to record a volunteer jumping. Anyway, special thanks to Julia for the Instagram tutorials, volunteering, and recording for several of the days.

Washington, DC, is replete with beauty. These pictures are from a display in Rose Park (mostly between M Street and P Street) by artist, Kiril Jeliazkov. There are 81 panels to see and will only be available until June 7, 2018. Check out this write-up in the Georgetowner. 

Certified Nutrition Specialist!

While it has been "official" since April 3, 2018...it is nice to finally have it in my hands! Now, just waiting for the District of Columbia licensing to come in the mail.
