I’m officially taking a break from blogging until January. I really enjoy writing and sharing recipes and health tidbits here, but I need to focus on finishing my last three weeks of undergraduate work ever (hallelujah!) and spending time with my family and in-laws for the holidays. I’ll be in Phoenix, Arizona for Thanksgiving and [...]

Waaaaay Belated Giveaway Winners Announcement
Posted in Uncategorized on November 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Oh dear. I’m afraid I’ve really dropped the ball on this. My three giveaways closed last Saturday, and I am only just now publicly announcing the winners. Yikes! It seems I have not successfully mastered the combination of houseguests and blogging.
Fortunately, I did at least take care of the most pressing business last Saturday afternoon by [...]

As a continuation of yesterday’s post, here are two more reasons I am enjoying juice fasting.
Extra Time
I spend a lot of time every day preparing food, eating it, and cleaning up afterwards. I am more aware of this than ever, now that I don’t have to do it! I’m also amazed by how much of my energy [...]

I never thought I could do a juice fast. Go without food? For days? Not on my list of fun things to do! Contemplating it, I even felt a little panicky. But this is my second juice fast, and I’ve discovered it’s quite a unique experience — one that I’ll continue to seek out in [...]

Two years ago, my new husband and I retreated to Traverse City, Michigan for a beautiful honeymoon. We stayed at Chateau Chantal, a vineyard and gorgeous B&B on a peninsula on Lake Michigan (check out the website for breathtaking photographs of the area). With fall colors bursting on the scene, sparkling blue water all around, and the [...]
Our Second Anniversary

I feel like the most blessed woman alive to be married to this man. What did I ever do to deserve him?
Did you know that on our wedding day he gave me a wonderful gift by memorizing his vows? Here he is, dear soul, working on it.
There was just one problem: he didn’t tell me he [...]
Hurricane Update

We are safe. Ike caused minimal damage to my parents’ home (just tree limbs and debris littering the yard), though surrounding homes didn’t fare so well. There are several downed trees, including one that crashed into a home behind us and one that was blocking the road this morning. My dad has been running the [...]
Hurricane Preparations
Posted in Uncategorized on September 11, 2008 | 6 Comments »
My husband’s company closed its campus today and tomorrow to give employees a chance to prepare their homes for hurricane Ike. We’ve been scuttling around taping windows, moving flower pots to the garage, packing clothing, and herding Goldens to get ready to leave for my parents’ home. They live about forty-five minutes north of us [...]
