just our day to day life
This was a super-busted workout week – terrible. Having the day off on Monday, a lunch scheduled on Tuesday, and an appointment on Friday for which I had to flex out my lunch (which means my workout), means that I did 2 workouts all week …
Jules Gluten Free makes some of the better gluten-free flour and baking products that I’ve had. My friend gave me bags of the GF cookie mix, all-purpose flour mix, and oatmeal, and while I haven’t used the cookie mix yet, the flour is great for …
I like to make meatless meals every now and then, especially if it’s good enough that Lo can’t tell it’s meatless (trickery, I know). I cooked up a big bag of pinto beans and froze half of them. The rest I used to make Spicy …

I had two appointments yesterday – both of which I was kind of excited about. First was the dentist. I know that sounds weird, but I really don’t mind going to the dentist’s office. I used to have a sucky one, but now I go …
We are really bad at Fridays. Unless we already have plans, we never really come up with anything to do. I’m usually fine with this – especially in the winter when it’s cold and dark outside anyway. It started snowing on Friday afternoon and we …
