Well I did it. I made the deluxe cheezy mac from the Daiya brand to test it out. Even though we've enjoyed the allergen-friendly pizza from Daiya, and have heard rave reviews from personal friends, I still tried not to get my hopes up, just in case. Long story short, this week we bought two... Continue Reading →
It’s Okay to Rest.
I have been a start-stop-start-again-er when it comes to working out. Because of this horrible habit, I was determined that this round I was not going to stop. At all. No days of rest. I was too afraid that I would get back in that lull of Oh I'll just workout harder tomorrow. Only when... Continue Reading →
Small Change, Big Impact.
The other day, the hubby asked me if there was anything I wanted to do. At first I thought he was asking if there was something I wanted to watch on tv. Then he says, "I just realized you haven't been out of the house in months." Which is true. While he kept a normal... Continue Reading →
The New, the Loved, and a Coffee Cup.
Does anyone have a special mug they drink their coffee out of on certain days? I get up with the kids on the weekends to let hubby sleep in and I have one mug that I use at least once. It's a bigger mug so it's perfect for this non-morning person. Though the cup is... Continue Reading →
The Four Week Challenge
I am all up for challenging myself. Between paying attention to my body for health and dance reasons, I know it pretty well. I know what it is capable of doing and what it's not.

It cannot be blithely said. We must contemplate it, seek it out, and meditate on it until it... Continue Reading →
Reflecting on World Oceans Day
Yesterday was World Oceans Day. If you know me or you've read a few of my previous blog posts, you know that I have an enduring love for the ocean. It's a love that can only be explained as part of my unique design. So of course I celebrated the day as I could, by... Continue Reading →
Cheese Me, Please.
If you were to ask me if I like cheese, my immediate response would be, "No." But then I'd pull a Tenth Doctor and say, "Welll...." Because I do like cheese. Sometimes. On certain things. To me, cheese belongs on things like: Burgers, Pizza, and, of course, Grilled Cheeses. You will not catch me putting... Continue Reading →
The Indomitable Spirit
I was studying 1 John chapter 3 the other day and at first I was contemplating the verses comparing the world to Cain and the Body to Abel. I was thinking of how the world hates the Spirit of blessing and favor that resides in us and upon us. I was suddenly arrested by the... Continue Reading →
The Homeschool Game
How is it June already? It completely snuck up on me. According to a Facebook memory post, this is actually a regular occurrence. I'd like to think it's because I'm enjoying my life and not concerning myself with some future date. I know this year that's a big reason. Two weekends ago we celebrated our... Continue Reading →
