I never imagined that by owning our own home, we would be constantly attracting unwanted animals. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of kittens and puppies, but when they show up uninvited, I find it a little harder to love them. What makes me even angrier, is that the cat had to come from … Continue reading »
Want a New Source of Protein? Say PEAS.
It’s no secret that I’m a snacker. I pack a little something in my purse every time I leave the house… you know, just in case Being that my diet is now gluten & soy-free, snack options have definitely dwindled a bit. When I heard about LÄRABAR ALT bars, The Alternative Protein Bar™, I couldn’t help … Continue reading »
The Art of Marriage, Round II
For the past two Monday nights, our small group has been getting together, which consists of four (including Jarid & I) relatively young married couples. When Jarid & I went to the Weekend to Remember, this series was talked about as a reference for after the conference. Granted, many of the ideas were the same, … Continue reading »
Feeling Guilty But Well-Rested
Friday night, Jarid and I shopped til we dropped…pretty literally. We closed down the mall, and ended up causing the Gap to stay open 30 minutes after closing time. We both needed some new summer clothing, and we’ve been online yardsaling like crazy (old clothing and things we never use), so we had a bit … Continue reading »
Packages a Plenty
I laughed out loud in my car when I pulled up and saw a boatload of packages sitting in front of our door. Our UPS guy probably thinks we’re doing something illegal…I can only imagine what our neighbors are thinking. I won’t lie, it feels like Christmas every time this happens. The excitement of what … Continue reading »
And Then There Were Eight.
Today marks Jarid & my 8th month of marriage. Yeah, we’re saps about sentimental dates (sorry, I’m not sorry). Personally, I enjoy “celebrating” the little things in life. It reminds me to always be thankful for what I have. I may or may not have sneaked a card to Jarid this morning, just to tell … Continue reading »
Comfort Zone Combustion
Things that make me uncomfortable: #1: Speaking in front of a group, especially, people I know. #2: Rejoining a group activity that I had left with sudden abandon…when I was Orthorexic. Both of which I’ve done over the past two days. First, last night, I went back to play volleyball at a gym that I … Continue reading »
Udi’s Gluten Free
You may remember a little while ago, when I mentioned that Udi’s Gluten Free sent be a huge box of goodies so I could try them all out and write this review on the blog! A gigantic thank you to the company and to Suzanne for being so generous. Living a gluten-free lifestyle isn’t always … Continue reading »
Mother’s Day Weekend 2013
Jarid and I haven’t had a date night in quite awhile. We decided that dinner, froyo, and a Redbox was just what the doctor ordered on Friday night, so when we both got home from work, we headed to The Pizza Grille for some grub. For six consecutive years, The Pizza Grille had been voted … Continue reading »
Orange You Glad It’s Friday?
I used to love jokes when I was little. I, however, didn’t stop at the classic, “orange you glad I didn’t say banana” joke. Somehow, I came up with my own… like… Q: “Why did the chicken cross the road?” A: “To get to the umbrella!“. I had quite the imagination. Now, my tastes have … Continue reading »
