Where’s the place to be on a cold, dreary day? The beach of course! We met up with our “Get These Kids Outside Or Bust” homeschooling group and today was a true test of our pledge to get outside even in the crummiest of weather. It was cold. It was rainy. There was whining. Ava … Read more

I was off dark and early to the gym this morning. I was |this close| to driving there, when at the last minute I put my keys back and just ran there in the dark instead. It takes me 5 minutes to get there by car considering the time it takes to give the car … Read more

It’s Not Even December

After a roasted red pepper hummus sandwich and a side of carrot sticks with salsa for lunch this afternoon, we were off with some friends to the local garden center for some holiday fun.

My green smoothie stuck with me most of the morning, but with about two hours until dinner time – I was getting hungry. I didn’t really want to eat anything, I wanted to be good and hungry for a feast! But I didn’t want to get to dinner feeling famished either. What’s a girl to … Read more
