Ever since I caught the (respiratory) flu two and a half weeks ago, I’ve been in a cooking and eating funk. I kind of lost my appetite and desire to cook. When I was feeling really yucky, I ate vegetable soup and oatmeal. Once I started feeling a little bit better, the only thing that [...]
We’ve been on a mission to rid our home of toxic chemicals! It was one of those darn documentaries that inspired us again, ha. ;) We watched Chemerical back in the winter and have been detoxifying our home and learning more ever since. We chose to detoxify because it is safer for us, the environment, and [...]
Lately, I’ve been having an internal struggle about consumerism and money. I think it multiplies when I walk through Target or when I read blogs and social media. The ironic part is we don’t have much discretionary income left over for consumerism to be a problem. I always wonder where the heck all our money goes, even [...]
Here’s a little flashback for you… I guest blogged about wedding thoughts when I was 21 – and now I’m 24 & married! This is interesting to look back on. :) The good news? I made it through my wedding day anxiety-free (with a little medication). ———- Lately I’ve been thinking, probably too much, about [...]
I guess you see how well I’m doing with trying to blog regularly. I posted two days of thankfulness and it’s November 19th. That doesn’t mean I’m not thankful though! I just can’t seem to make blogging a habit. :( We’ve been really busy house-hunting. Our apartment lease is up at the end of December so we [...]
I wasn’t sure how well it would go to try to blog everyday this month… and so far, not so good! I will catch up though! ;) (See Day 1 of thankfulness.) Day 2- I am thankful for my job, Two Are Better, which really means I am thankful for all those people who trust in us [...]
Believe it or not, I’m going to celebrate this month of thankfulness before I move on to Christmas! Apparently the Christmas season now starts the day after Halloween instead of the day after Thanksgiving. I love love Christmas time, but I’m not going to rush it. Let’s take it one holiday/month at a time! Anyway, just a [...]
My Halloween in a nutshell – Ryan is still in Cape Town surfing with sharks and penguins. My Mom, Nour, and I went out and celebrated on Saturday night! Nour and I carved a pumpkin while she was here visiting. Tonight we dressed up my black cat Onyx like a pumpkin! He didn’t like it [...]
Ryan and I are an ocean apart for a week! I miss him already, but I’m SO excited he gets this awesome opportunity. He’s currently in Cape Town, South Africa on a “work” trip. I put work in quotations because it’s mostly play when the Woo ninjas get together. ;) (Last year they went to [...]
It’s time for another confession. My addiction to almonds has expanded to another tree nut: pistachios. This happened this year when I innocently tried pistachios and now they’ve become a staple in my diet. There must be a reason or explanation for this; maybe my body craves a specific nutrient in these tree nuts! I’m not [...]
