I was sitting at the table doing my devotional this morning, when I looked up and realized all of my materials were naturally arranged so photogenically! I didn’t even do this on purpose. They were just sitting in this configuration. Of course, I had to take a photo when I was done reading. But alas,…
If you’ve been reading my blog the past few months, I’m sure you’ve noticed a common theme in my approach to life. Whether it’s food or TV or social media, I’m an all-or-nothing person. My husband is the exact opposite. For example, when I wake up one Saturday morning and announce that I’m giving up caffeine,…
I’ve had a love-hate relationship with social media since I first created a Facebook account nine years ago. Most of the time, the good side of social media outweighs the bad for me. I love being able to stay in touch (although superficially) with people I haven’t seen in a long time. I love hearing about…
I know we still have two days left in January. But because Sunday was the last day of my Whole 30, I feel like the month is over. For me, January wasn’t just about changing my eating habits, so I thought I would give an update on what happened this month. This first month of my…
If you’ve been reading my blog for long, then you know I have a thing for chalkboards. I love writing new words and phrases on my chalkboards to decorate for the seasons.

That’s it. I can’t believe I only have ten more days until I’m done with the Whole 30. When I began, I thought my emotion at approaching the end of this 30 day journey would be joy and excitement. Instead, I would say I’m nervous for it to end. Once I passed the half-way point, my experience…
As you probably know from reading this blog, one of the ways we enjoy winter around here is on our backyard ice rink. I say “we” because it’s not just the kids who get all of the fun. I love strapping on my skates and blasting my tunes on our portable speaker and heading out…
I’ve just complete the first week of my Whole 30 journey, so I thought I would give a little update. I would love to say that everything has been easy peasy, and I am now completely in control of my food choices. The truth is, the past few days have been really hard. I’m sick…
For the past few years, I have watched in amazement and sometimes a bit of annoyance this time of year as people posted their “word for the year.” I was amazed that people could think of just one word to focus on for the entire next year. How did they come up with just one…
A few years ago, I was complaining to a friend about my struggle to lose a few pounds. She suggested that I try an eating plan, called “Whole 30.” When she explained that the concept was to eat only meat, fruit, veggies, nuts and some fats for 30 days, I told her there was absolutely no…
