CHILL TIME On long summer nights, when you’re taking that well-deserved break after putting in a day’s worth of work—or perhaps a week’s worth of work in one day—how do you unwind? Is it with food or without?

WELLSPRING / AUGUST 2023
I prefer not to relax with food at night. Rather, once the heat of the day has passed, I love going for a stroll with my husband, or I aim to try to find my bed earlier now that my teen is away in camp. I can’t say I’m perfect at this, but it’s definitely something I aspire to!

Now during the summertime, my husband and I go for a walk on the boardwalk. It really helps us unwind and connect. We also love to have our treats, such as chocolate (more often) or ice cream (less often).
