This past week we've been trying to get some minor things done around the yard. We're *still* raking leaves, cleaning up branches, trying to get rid of a stump, and contemplating what to do with all the ivy we have. I didn't even notice the stump since it's pretty flush to the ground, but apparently … Continue reading Attack of the Killer Ivy!

What I Ate Wednesday
I've been making kombucha at home for a few months now and it's going so well! I bought this multi-green one because I've never had this flavor before and I think it'd be really neat to make a spirulina batch at home. Plus it was on sale and I like to use these bottles to … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday
My First Experience With Online Grocery Shopping
Yesterday, I tried out the online grocery shopping from Giant though Peapod. There are a bunch of things I really liked about it and a few things that make me reconsider using it regularly. First thing I saw when I logged on what my most recent/common purchases. Pros: Convenience. I love the online interface. It's … Continue reading My First Experience With Online Grocery Shopping
Weekend in Pictures – Fur Baby Scare, Lots of Leaves, and Online Groceries
This weekend, the weather was perfect, so we spent a lot of time outside. Friday, I found a little bit of purple peaking out from underneath the leaves. And I made chocolate chip protein cookies. (Recipe coming this week.) We had portobello burgers for dinner. I marinated the portobellos in balsamic and garlic, and used … Continue reading Weekend in Pictures – Fur Baby Scare, Lots of Leaves, and Online Groceries

What I Ate Wednesday
Breakfast was 1 banana, half a chocolate cherry chia protein shake, 2 slices of bread with almond butter and cinnamon, and a large cup of half coffee/half vanilla almond milk. I tend to eat larger breakfasts and then graze during the day...sometimes on healthy stuff. Snacks were a few organic animal crackers with vegan chocolate … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday
Homemade Almond Milk: Round One
I've been wanting to make homemade nut milk for a while, but it seemed like it wouldn't be cost effective since nuts are so expensive. I found a bunch of different recipes, some make homemade twice as much as store bought, and some would make it slightly less. I usually buy Almond Breeze because it … Continue reading Homemade Almond Milk: Round One
January Goals Revisited
Instead of a new years resolution, I had a few goals for January: Complete 33 days of p90x3. Success. I started on Dec. 30th, so by the end of January I completed 33 workouts. I plan on continuing this for February and March. No spend January. I'd say half success. I started off really well, and … Continue reading January Goals Revisited
Review: p90x3…5 Weeks Down
So I officially have completed 5 weeks of p90x3, and I really like it. I'm following the lean schedule and I've done all of the workouts. I didn't use any of the built in rest days, but I did skip a few days when I had a headache, and when my parents came to visit … Continue reading Review: p90x3…5 Weeks Down
Birthday Weekend
Friday was my birthday and I had a bunch of great surprises. The hallway is offically almost done (for now). I still need to touch up the ceiling where I got purple...I mean "grey" on the white. But I reinstalled the doorbell, which has been off since we moved in. My parents came for the … Continue reading Birthday Weekend
