That I decided to start in July... That's not entirely true. I'd set a rough goal back in January, but it wasn't until July when I realized just how little I'd actually read when compared to what I really want to read, and it lit a fire. So here I am, in August, trying to… Continue reading My Little Free Library and The 2021 Reading Challenge

Do You Still Care?
Checking in with myself and with you... on the anti-racist work we all started over a year ago. It's been more than a year since the protests started in response to the murder of George Floyd by police. Last summer was filled with every kind of protest and movement. People took notice and with COVID… Continue reading Do You Still Care?
Adventures in Cooking: From the Freezer
Yup... from last weeks post, you’re probably thinking this is a big step down. I was inspired by game, balanced cooking, Swedish and French cooking. I was and still am, but I want to be honest about this journey as well. Which means being honest about time and about the things I’m learning to balance.… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: From the Freezer
Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
If you read my other posts you know that I went to the book store recently... Well I got a cookbook. I have a few others and Nick has a whole freaking collection, but I think this is only the second one I have ever actually bought for myself. It’s about Swedish/ Norwegian cooking in… Continue reading Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
Spring Favorites Part 1
This is exactly what it looks like, one of those slightly cheesy and cliche lists of new discoveries in different categories, that I’m loving right now. First off is ‘For the Phone’ category: Shop app... yup, I know I’m late to the show and it’s SUPER big brother like. But it’s so damn nice to… Continue reading Spring Favorites Part 1
Adventures in Cooking: Quinoa Bowl
Another first for me... making Quinoa. Which I’ll tell you now, I will be doing again. Love this grain in general, I’ve just been too lazy in the kitchen to diverge from rice. Mango, Avocado, and Black-bean Quinoa bowl. Also featuring red onion, fresh cilantro, and a lime honey olive oil dressing of sorts. Sliced… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Quinoa Bowl
New Content Ideas…
Thought I’d share some brainstorming and brain dumping with you all. Maybe just maybe it’ll spark some creativity... I know I could use the help... - Wedding Planning - Yard Projects - Bathroom redo - More OOTD content - More interior decor stuff - Garage clean out - Product and item reviews - Skin care… Continue reading New Content Ideas…
Adventures in Cooking: Mushrooms go Mexican
Mushroom and Spinach Baked Quesadillas Mushrooms are right there with tofu, a little less baggage, but an even longer history of dislike and queasy encounters. Slimy, grey... they remind me of slugs. And while I’m fairly adventurous I can say that unless in a survival situation, I won’t be trying slugs. BUT, like tofu, I… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Mushrooms go Mexican
This Caption. Contrast
Driving past beautiful homes, houses, and highrises. There’s tents lining the sidewalks and streets. Trash, clothes, tires, and cans. There’s a lot of nothing . Like to hurry up and wait. It doesn’t make sense. So many people with so little. Next to so few with so much. A picture perfect moment. A picture perfect… Continue reading This Caption. Contrast
Health in a Nutshell… you know, one the size of Kansas.
Yup... going there. (That’s me trying to convince myself that I am in fact going to write about this.) Let me preface this by saying that I am not a doctor, dietician, or any other kind of professional. Everything that follows is just thoughts and feelings about my own health, my journey, the different seasons… Continue reading Health in a Nutshell… you know, one the size of Kansas.
