Sorry to burden you all again, but it's time to get out the soap box about education again. I've done a fair bit of stomping for the arts in past posts. Be sure to go back and check them out here and here and here. I am a definite fan of music and theatre in the… Continue reading It’s Time to Bring Back and Rethink Home Economic Classes

Trying Something New to Get Ogg This Stale Mate
This past week I tried "intermittant fasting." I went with the 16:8 theory for this first time trying out this new craze. You may be asking, "why do this now?" Well... I've been in a rut. My health progress has been stale. I've been hoovering at the same weight for about 3 months. I was… Continue reading Trying Something New to Get Ogg This Stale Mate

Another Week, A Few More Veggies
Most mornings during the past week, I enjoyed a smoothie of some sort. I did add onions, mushrooms, and spinach one morning. I ate salads all week for lunch... That's when I took the time to eat.

Adulting 101 – What’s Cooking?
I've made an observation that just amazes me... cooking is a practical skill that has been discarded along the wayside. It's not just teens who have forgotten the benefits of cooking nutritious meals at home. I was sitting by some ladies this weekend who were chatting away about how they "eat out" 3-4 times a… Continue reading Adulting 101 – What’s Cooking?
