Lately our lives have been one adventure after another. Not only have we been dealing with our day to day lives and everything that usually comes with it, but we made a hugely insane (but fantastic) decision to move ourselves out of the Pacific Northwest and back to sunny Southern California! Seriously. We made the… Read more
Tuesday Tea Time: Adagio Sour Apple Herbal Tea Review
Sunday I wrote about my Tuesday Tea Time, and intended to post that on Tuesday, however my blonde was showing and I ended up posting it early. Silly me. Now that it’s Tuesday I can finally say it’s Tuesday Tea Time! Today I am drinking the Sour Apple herbal tea I ordered from Adagio. I’ve… Read more
Tuesday Tea Time: Adagio Haul 2014
This past week was a waiting game for me. After spending so much time not buying things for myself and focusing on the nitty gritty of life, I decided to be a wild child and order some new teas from my favorite loose tea company: Adagio. Granted, they are my favorite since they are the… Read more
Cream Cheese Raspberry Bread
I’m giddy to be able to say “last year” and put all of 2013 in the past. It was a rough year and being able to officially put it in the past makes me much happier. During 2013 I don’t think I really accomplished much other than making copious amounts of caramel corn, drank way… Read more
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Vegan Cookies – Recipe and a Story…
Sometimes I shock myself with the random things that I do. They really make me question just how completely awesome I am.

The Whole30 (elimination diet) I talked about before actually became a Whole8 instead, mostly because I was feeling sicker and sicker every day when I was doing the diet. Most people start an elimination diet because they’re trying to heal… Read more
Elimination Diet – Crazy Or Fantastic?
I feel like my general goal for starting this blog has kind of gone to the wayside. I started doing this with the intention of learning better ways to make things I love, and also to make them healthier. I feel like I’ve gotten away from that and haven’t been actually making that effort to… Read more
Grapefruit Popsicles
I bought myself a new popsicle mold a few weeks ago, and I have to say I’m a bit obsessed. I decided that the little one that makes 4 is just too darn small, so I ordered this bad boy and had a little happy fit at work when it arrived. Not only are the… Read more
Blackberry Cobbler
Sometimes you just get a craving and you have to have it. The other night I was craving pie. Not just any pie, but blackberry pie ala mode. Sadly, I was just too darn lazy to go to a restaurant to get some pie, and had no motivation what so ever to start a pie… Read more
A New Decade
Today is a big day for me. I hit a new decade in life. Today I turn 30. I am terrified of getting older, of having to actually be an adult. I know I can’t be a Toys R Us kid for the rest of my life, but 30? That’s huge. Oh boy. Lets see… Read more
