Wait, you threw an axe? Yes. Yes, I did. For about a half an hour, in fact. I went out to meet someone for bowling, but decided to go axe throwing before I went home. Why? Isn't that kind of unfeminine? Why not is actually the more accurate question. And no, it's not something only … Continue reading Axe throwing is more than a release

Christmas Cookie Exchange
I wanted something to bring to a cookie exchange but didn't want to cook something with a lot of sugar and carbs because I know myself and if it's in the house, I'll eat it! lol So I decided to give a new brand of Keto chocolate chip cookies a go. Maui Keto Treats makes … Continue reading Christmas Cookie Exchange
A Lovely Little Lemon Loaf
Yes, lately I'm feeling the alliteration. What can I say, it makes me happy. Almost as happy as making a lemon cake from Keto Bakes. No, let me be honest. Making and eating anything that is even close to lemon pound cake makes me much happier than picking a post title...lol This mix was easy … Continue reading A Lovely Little Lemon Loaf
Giving Gardening a Go
Container Gardening counts, right? I should clarify that I am a plant murderer. I have killed Peace Lillies, cacti, snake plants, ivy, air plants...everything that is supposed to grow, no matter what. Not just once, either. I've killed multiples of each of those poor plants. The only thing I haven't killed, knock wood, is my … Continue reading Giving Gardening a Go
Meditation with Marita
Meditation is something I've tried before, but never with consistency and focus until I met Marita. Now that it's been almost a year, I feel like it's safe to say I have developed a new habit. Which has always been my goal. Since the beginning, this blog and my life choices have been focused on … Continue reading Meditation with Marita

At least we hoped it would be delicious because the whole family was coming to the … Continue reading Happy Birthday to me…
Bumps in the Road
Wouldn't it be nice if the bumps in your life came with a warning too? The sign is literal, of course, but it was also metaphorical. At the end of this school year, I was exhausted. We had been in some form of altered teaching for 15 months and it had taken a toll. There … Continue reading Bumps in the Road
Cookie starts with C (even when they are Kalifornia Keto)
I had the urge to eat something sweet and couldn't find anything that fit the bill...until I remembered that I had a chocolate chip cookie mix to try. I decided I wanted it to be extra chocolatey, so I grabbed some Lily's baking chocolate chips and the butter and eggs and started mixing! I've never … Continue reading Cookie starts with C (even when they are Kalifornia Keto)
After Graduation
the hallways are so quiet Normally, I write about the things I do, try, learn, experience in a different way. But this has been sort of sitting here in a 'Hey, you should probably process this' kind of a way since the end of the school year. So here I am, getting personal. Promotion, graduation … Continue reading After Graduation
Paint Nite for teenagers…and their teachers
Paint Nite is something that normally conjures up images of wine and adults getting some of their creativity out on canvas while also getting in some 'adult time' to chat and have some fun. I wasn't sure what a Paint Nite with a bunch of teenagers and their teachers was going to look like but … Continue reading Paint Nite for teenagers…and their teachers
