This morning I spent some time reading some fitness/healthy living blogs of friends who I have “known” for the last 3-5 years of blogging. I have not done this regularly for months and months. It made me nostalgic in a strange way for the time when I read blogs and interacted with bloggers almost every day. […]

Last week, Brent and I met an older couple while riding the lift. We came down the mountain and ended up on the same lift with the couple again. Our third run down the man said, “We’ll just ride up with you guys.” We learned they spent half the year in the Outer Banks where he […]

I thought I was fit and then I snowboarded. I thought I was mentally stable and then I moved to the mountains in an RV for the winter. We got up to the mountains last Wednesday evening. Friday the boys and I went snowboarding. I only fell 10,000 times. The good news is I didn’t break […]

Earlier this week Thing Two and I headed out to explore the local food options in Rapid City, South Dakota. Thing One stayed home with Brent because he wanted to practice his piano. Our first stop was the farmers market where we bought some of our fruits and vegetables for the week. I was happy […]

Remember the 30 day paleo challenge I was doing? That’s okay. Neither do I. Here is  our adventures in eating local while on the road plus a recap of my 30 day paleo challenge and the aftermath.

I have three thoughts this Thursday. Life is Like Berries. A Healthy Dessert. 30 Days of Paleo    Thought One – Life is Like Berries. Two weeks ago after a busy week in NYC followed by a fulltime family RV rally, we decided we needed a few days up in the mountains to unwind. Nearby there was […]

Tuesdays are one of my favorite days. Tuesday mornings I pick up my CSA produce box and my raw milk. After I get my produce box I lovingly lay it out on my table and take a million pictures from every angle as if I have never seen a piece of fruit before plan my menu for […]

Yesterday, I was reading the comments on HEAB and came across this article which led me to the Nourished Kitchen blog (which btw I ended up subscribing too). As far as I can tell, The Nourished Kitchen seems to be a blog devoted to traditional food preparation.  A very cool blog, I might add. However, […]
