My First Vlog – Monday Mingle

I am so excited to finally just jump in and do my first vlog.  I have been wanting to do this for a while, but always blamed it on my lack of a good camera why I hadn’t vlogged before now.  I thought a fun way to get started was to participate in Eighty MPH […]

Meatless Monday – Easy Pasta and Vegetable Salad

It feels like a while since I posted for Meatless Monday.  The main reason is because I don’t like to share a recipe without a picture.  When I look up recipes for myself, I like to see a picture, so I like to share one when I post a recipe. (I’m visual like that!)  This one […]

A School’s Responsibility to Provide a Healthy Lunch Program

I am on a committee to work toward a healthier lunch program in the school district my children attend.  Some will say that feeding our kids healthy starts at home and is ultimately the responsibility of the parents.  I fully agree with this, however, for the one meal a day that the school district provides […]

My Green BlogHer

Don’t Criticize my Food Unless you Want the Truth About Yours

My younger son and I are vegetarians.  Well, for the most part we are with the exception of the occasional really good quality piece of fish.  We have hosted small birthday parties and attended medium and large family gatherings and pretty much every time there is someone who thinks they are somehow being given free […]

Greener Living is A Good Habit

I think they say it takes 15 to 20 times to do something before it becomes a habit.  Like my husband’s drawers on his dresser never being completely closed.  Yeah, he has that bad habit perfected quite well!  Or that funny swallowing thing he does with his throat that drives me insane.  Another one of hubby’s habits […]

Wordless Wednesday – Crab Fun!

On the hunt for crabs! Found one! Look closely, it’s a tiny one!

What Excuses do you Make?

When I was a cheerleader in high school I pulled and then tore the ACL in my right knee. Yes, I said as a cheerleader. Although my husband will tell you different, it is a sport, at least at my school it was. Our coach was a hard ass and she pushed us to be […]
