I live in a smallish laid back beach town.  That alone makes this a great town. But… My town also has lots of opportunities for fresh local food year round. Off the top of my head I can count 3 weekly farmers markets within a 10 mile radius and that’s not counting all the farm […]

If the Bodybugg taught me anything, it taught me I have NO patience need to move more.  After wearing it for a few days, it was evident that I’m part slug. Truth be told, I’m sort of sedentary by nature.  Many of my favorite things in life, such as reading, cuddling, writing, thinking, internet surfing […]

(Source) Intentional. I want my life to be intentional.  I’m a pretty simple person but I don’t want to wake up in 35 years only to realize that I never hoisted my sails.  I may not be able to control the wind (A realization that I’m still throwing a tantrum over.) but I can control […]

I have no problem as a health blogger admitting I like fast food.  I do.  I think a lot of it taste good.  Sorry, if that offends you. As a person who chooses to live a healthy lifestyle and make choices that I feel contribute to some changes I want to see in the world, […]

My love, I’ll never understand how I got so lucky. You know there are no photos or words that could ever adequately express my love and appreciation but I’ll do my best. THANK YOU….. …for going through life with me …for the thousands of kisses you’ve given us. …for the willingness to play …for taking […]

That’s a lot of alliteration. I had almost forgotten my little birthday present to myself that I have yet to “enjoy”. My  upcoming RKC certification.  I got an email from Dragon Door yesterday reminding me of the requirements.  Oh yes….those. Can I confess something? I’m nervous.  I was nervous for the one day HKC certification. […]

We kicked our camping season off this weekend with a trip up the coast with one of our homeschooling groups.  (For those who may be considering homeschooling and are concerned about “socialization”.   Don’t worry, in most towns, the opportunities to hang out with other kids and really get to know other families are endless.) […]

A Fluffy Flashback. I really can’t think of anything much fluffier than cupcakes. and This post has been patiently waiting amount the other 123 “drafts” in purgatory. A few months ago I took a mini-road trip to visit a cupcake truck even though I don’t eat refined sugar myself. (Don’t worry I asked what they […]

Confession. I like Urban Outfitters. Not as much as its big sister Anthropologie but I still can’t help to peek my head in for a glimpse of individuality for the masses. It’s the hipster mecca of the world (although no true hipster would ever admit to shopping there) and what mini van driving suburban mom […]

I could eat pizza everyday.  Except that I try to limit white flour products and most “whole wheat” pizza crusts at the store aren’t really whole wheat.  Not to mention in an “ideal world” I would only eat sprouted wheat but unfortunately that is not my real world.  Enter the Ezekiel tortilla.  Ezekiel bread has […]
