We are home, and all is right with the world as my Mom would say. There is really nothing like being home with family for the holidays. My heart is truly happy.

Years ago we went to the famed Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn, NY. We didn’t have a reservation, we waited for almost two hours, and we barely got in. And then it ended up being a huge disappointment. Yep, it was one of the worst meals that we had ever had. And at the time, we felt sort of alone with our experience. After all, Peter Luger’s was “the” place for a steak dinner. But after reading this article, it appears that we are definitely not alone.

I personally don’t need any sort of convincing that screen time has negative health affects. But this article definitely gave me pause about my early morning routine of reaching for my phone to read the news and check my emails.
