  • So I didn’t post for a month…

    …but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot (too much!) going on!!! This year has been one of so many changes!! Kayla got engaged, moved out, and will be married in December. Jake turned 18, finally got his license, got his first girlfriend, graduated, decided not to go to college for now, and started…

  • Vegan Lunch Box Ideas

    I was recently at Costco, where I spent $526 (ouch! it included a huge box of Kirkland brand “Greenies” for the dogs…so more like $500 for the humans!) and I found a lot of great items for K’s lunches.  The best finds must have been individual containers of hummus and guac.  I could make homemade…

  • Body Image?

    A friend posted something about how many American women hate their bodies and it got me thinking ~ I really don’t hate my body ~ at least not the way it looks. I might hate the way it works, with all my metabolic issues, PCOS, psoriatic arthritis, asthma, allergies and diabetes. I guess after over…

  • Why I’m “Thriving” Again!

    I know I made a big deal out of no longer needing Thrive because we discovered that the “active ingredient” (at least for me!) was caffeine.  The shakes were a little (or a LOT) more carby than I wanted, even when made with low-carb milk and the patch?  Meh…couldn’t really tell if it was or…

  • September: Week 1 Recap

    This week, I’ve been working on the house a lot.  I made a lot of progress with some boxes/piles that we dumped in the master bedroom weeks ago.  It’s not finished but it’s at 80% and feels so much better!  I have been sticking with my habit of making the bed every morning.   I…

  • Why I use disposable dinnerware when I care about the environment.

    Let’s face it…it’s already made, right?  If I don’t buy it, someone else will.  Sure, I don’t like padding the pockets of the companies that make it, but they’re just in business and capitalism and all that, right? So it does kind of pain me, but I’d go insane without it during this season of…

  • Where did August go? And Thrive Update…

    I know this is a pattern…but WOW.  I can’t believe it’s August 31st! My pantry challenge was not as successful as I’d envisioned, but I do definitely see a pretty good dent in what we’ve got hoarded away.  I would say we used about half of what we had when the month began. I shopped…

  • August Challenge Update: Days 5-7

    I love doing updates.  It’s fun ~ more fun when I’ve been “good.”  LOL I made a Sprout’s run and it was $101.  I used one of the tiny carts and usually I don’t spend as much that way so I was a little disappointed it wasn’t closer to $75 but I guess that was…
