Whole 30 — Days 13 thru 16
Tonight I decided to be a little adventurous. All it took was seeing a 3-pack of portobello mushrooms on market’s weekly special list to start me thinking. I knew tonight was likely “pizza night” for the rest of the clan, and I’d thought about my own meatza or something. But, I also had pineapple and…

Whole 30 — Days 7 thru 12
The past few days have been full of all kinds of “excitement” that has prevented properly documenting my Whole 30 progress. To make a long story short, the horribly cold temperatures caused a malfunction in one of our sprinkler system pipes. Fortunately, when that happens, it alerts the nearby fire departments who responded & were…

Whole 30 Days 3-6 : Still Standing
Never fear! I’m still here…remarkably. If you thought I’d given up, thrown in the towel and consoled myself with a block of sharp cheddar cheese & a bottle of red wine, you’d be mistaken. If you thought I’d spent nearly every idle second fantasizing about those two no-no items, you’d be absolutely right! Although I’ve…

Whole 30 Day 2 — Forgot How Much This Sucks
The good thing about doing another Whole 30 is you remember how awesome you’ll feel soon. The bad thing is, you figure out faster the second time around how much it really sucks at the start. It’s kind of like having your second baby–the minute those contractions start, you remember EXACTLY how much it’s going…

Whole 30 Day 1–Made It!
This Whole 30’s Day One started off slowly. And, by slowly, I mean I didn’t leave my bed until after noon. I had an awful sinus headache yesterday which had me in bed sleeping most of the afternoon/early evening. That really doesn’t help a person fall asleep at a decent time at night. Add to…

Adding to the Arsenal
When completing my first successful Whole 30 this summer, I ended the 30 days with a list of things I wished I’d have had in the house. Luckily for this girl, Christmas came before the next Whole 30 attempt so that I could add some items to my arsenal–including things I only learned about in…

The Winds of Change
I know that making changes at the start of a new year is so cliche. But, I also know it is the ONE time of the year where I can be counted upon to be motivated, hopeful and concerned about the coming year. My birthday falls in January and as it approaches, I’m reminded of…

For the Love of the Kitchen
[Let’s ignore that it’s been two months since I’ve dusted off the blog. It was a crazy, off-kilter two months anyway & you have enough train wrecks to watch on reality TV]. Anyhoo, because of my successful Whole 30 over the summer, my realization that I need to do another like yesterday, and my increased…

Did You Know This?
I didn’t know this. I had read about the “j” feature, but figured out the “K” and “L” feature while typing around trying to remember the “J” feature. What other Facebook helpers do you know? Share them b/c this absolutely blew my mind.

Refusing to Take the Ditch
This weekend was rough. Not going to lie–I was off track quite a bit. I participated in a huge vendor event for two days. 14 hours total standing on concrete. No time to really sit or relax. It provided a HUGE boost to my Scentsy business, but not so great for sticking to any type…
