Finding Wisdom in the Grocery Store

Finding Wisdom in the Grocery Store

Who knew that a package of frozen dumpling could be so smart? I didn’t buy them, if you’re wondering. But I did appreciate the good advice! And it’s true, you should always say no to drugs. It’s so much better to be alert so you don’t miss awesome, uncommon little gems like this in everyday [...]

Vegan Love Day

Vegan Love Day

A week ago today, my honey & I celebrated Vegan Love Day. We made up our own holiday. We prepared a vegan feast of made-from-scratch split pea soup, fresh sourdough bread, and coffee-chocolate cupcakes. We lit candles and actually sat down to eat at the table. We cooked, we laughed, we took pictures, we talked, [...]

Happy V-Day

Happy V-Day

That would be “vegan love day.” To the best and most beautiful vegan I know: my wife. I love you, babe.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow…

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow…

…we got our winter wonderland! Today was a true snow day, with hours & hours of fat, juicy snowflakes falling to the gound…and sticking! We got at least 3-4 inches accumulation, and it’s so pretty! I alternated playing in the snow with sitting by the fire, which made for an awesome day. Jerry took lots [...]

Snow Tomorrow?

Snow Tomorrow?

I played outside all day, taking breaks only to alternate pairs of gloves when they got soaked through, tossing one pair in the dryer & tugging the others on. I made a tiny snowman, took beautiful pictures of [...]

Last month Jerry & I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with them that is now featured on their all new & updated website. I admire Cason for what he’s doing, [...]

My Only Nod to the Super Bowl

My Only Nod to the Super Bowl

This is an email I received from Planned Parenthood, and I think it makes some very valid points that are often overlooked when people think of what the organization stands for. Read on: By now you’ve most likely heard all about it — the anti-choice group Focus on the Family is spending millions to run [...]

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mother’s birthday – I hope it’s a wonderful, happy day because she deserves it! We celebrated last night with a lovely dinner of her choice, followed by good conversation & cheer over coffee at ABC. Great night with great people. I love you, Mom – thanks for always being my #1 fan! [...]

Studying Fireside

Studying Fireside

Today was a very productive day – after waking early for a dental appointment, I resisted returning straight to bed and broke out the books instead. I made some major study progress with biology, and feel better about my upcoming test. I have a sociology test on the same day, but at least there is [...]
