Spring is always a busy time for our family, with multiple birthdays (mine and Taylor’s are just a week apart), our anniversary (this year we celebrate 16 years!), and of course the lots of other special occasions that come along in Spring including Easter and the inevitable baby/bridal shower or two. This year I’m also […]
Cashews have seem to become an all-purpose nut these days, and I’m kind of loving it. Mild in flavor, softer in texture and full of essential nutrients, including a healthy dose of protein and healthy fats, you may find cashews transformed into grain-free crusts, as a simple add-in for protein packed smoothies, and here, as […]
You know those children who don’t seem to have a filter, and who can talk your ear off for hours at a time, filling even the smallest fraction of a second of quiet time with jibber jabber? Well, I don’t have those children. I have children who contently ride in the car in silence, only […]
It seems that currently, you can’t gain access to the healthy living club, unless you know how to make your own bone broth, or as our ancestors referred to it, stock.

For Christmas, Art got me the Fitbit Charge. At $129, it was a step up from the basic model, and probably would have suited my needs just fine. I was so excited for this unexpected gift that I ran to the computer on Christmas morning, eager to get it all set up, only to find […]

It’s been an emotional week at home, with various bits of school drama happening and news that one of my mom’s close friends has breast cancer. It was a heavy week, even though we had a lot of good teaching and talking moments each day. I feel a bit fried though, and am looking forward […]
Hey guys, how are you doing this week? Me, I feel still like I’m easing into it, but since hump day is almost over, I figure I better try to swing into things and get a few points of business out of the way. First off, thanks for all your encouraging comments on Monday’s post, […]
This morning I woke up without the tethers of a regular, steady job, and instead of feeling enthusiastically excited about open possibilities, I felt unsettled and anxious. After writing for Disney Baby and then Babble (both Disney subsidiaries) for the past 3 years, I felt it was time to move on. I am staying on […]
Earlier this month I had intention of writing a post on the 10 best pieces I added to my wardrobe in 2014. Pieces that I found myself going back to time and time again, therefore making their cost per wear an excellent return on my investment. I try to reflect on lots of things I […]
