I’ve been in a funk for awhile now but I think it’s finally passing. I’ve been reading old blog posts and I can’t believe how far I let myself get from what I want. It wasn’t earth shattering but it has been significant. Fitness: I’m back at square one but I’m also back on … More Looking Forward
As I get older I realize more and more the importance of make-up. It’s getting really uncomfortable looking in a mirror. The result is that I’m now much more faithful about wearing make-up. I hate the extra work and REALLY need to shape up with the make-up removal process (and skincare in general) but today … More Revlon Love
Over the summer I was doing really well with my workouts, then life came crashing down around me it seemed and my workouts took a hit. I never totally gave up; however, I lost all my strength and gained 10 pounds (literally). Consequently, I’ve been avoiding jeans all year… The dark cloud over my mood … More Workout Update
We finally went on our honeymoon trip to the Castle in the Country B&B on the west side of the state. It was a gift all of the siblings had gone in for in 2011 and the Bs never had time to use before Mrs. B got sick. They were very sweet and gave it … More Honeymoon Highlights
Since we’re having all the kids over Saturday as a treat for Danny’s sibling I wanted to do something with Ann and Matt. I invited them over to dinner Sunday but she wasn’t sure her schedule would allow for a dinner date, thankfully it did. My favorite chicken enchilada casserole was already on the menu but … More Mexican Fiesta
Today Chris sent me an article about millennial and un(der)employment. It’s not good folks. He and I often discuss the fate of America, society and our generation and ponder potential solutions. We are generally on the same page but go back and forth about our solutions. He shared with me some comments from our co-worker and it … More Social Hour
It’s been a big movie production week for me. Gina requested a Gaius and Six video and I was more than happy to try my hand at it. It turned out better than I expected. Normally, I have something in my head and it’s kind of like putting pen to paper to capture the thought. … More One More Night
I saw this really cute memory jar idea on Pinterest. You write down a good memory and put it in the jar to remember throughout the year. I tweaked it a bit and made happiness jars for the girls at MEP. As teenagers they need some prodding to remember life doesn’t suck. Every week they … More Happiness

It appears to be simple enough. 21 Days no dairy, gluten, meat, processed foods or sugar. Week 1: Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, oils/seasonings and lentilsWeek 2: Add Fish (not shellfish), legumes, beans, … More Whole Living Cleanse
I discovered the most ingenious but depressing thing recently. I started drinking tea after I discovered Teavana. During my mini shopping spree last fall I bought a glass tea maker for $30. It’s alright. You fill the container with water, put leaves in the steeper that you place on top, place the lid on and wait a few minutes … More French Press Hack
