A few weeks ago it was one of those perfect Colorado spring snowdays. We had received about 4 inches of snow overnight but it was warm enough to go play outside in just a sweatshirt. My son was asking to go to the park and we were running errands on the South side of town… Continue reading 15

On eating my words….
Something I end up talking to people about all the time at work are the "never say never" moments we've had... things we SWORE we'd "never" do either in our personal life or with our kids. I often find these to be really humorous and I thought I'd share with you some things my "never… Continue reading On eating my words….
Why we are working SO hard to get out of debt
So anyone who has interacted with us even a little bit knows we're kind of crazy about Dave Ramsey. His Financial Peace University and the book Total Money Makeover have completely changed our lives. In the past we'd talked a little about trying to get out of debt but it was never really a big priority… Continue reading Why we are working SO hard to get out of debt
First Magnesium Update
Wow!! Where do I even begin to say what a difference the magnesium is already making? I'm taking it orally twice a day and then I also made a batch of this body butter that I *try* to put on daily (tomorrow I'll be making a batch with 1/2 the amount of magnesium oil for my… Continue reading First Magnesium Update
My Magnesium Journey Part 1….
So the other day I can across this article from one of my very favorite bloggers- CHEESESLAVE. It was about Magnesium deficiency. I had actually been told years ago that I had this and had taken Magnesium for a while and stopped when I got pregnant and forgot all about it until I found this article.… Continue reading My Magnesium Journey Part 1….
My Thanksgiving Meal Plan
I am cooking my first full Thanksgiving meal this year and I'm both excited and totally terrified! Family meals are tough for me because we eat so counter to the Standard American Diet that I really do enjoy having more control over the food we are able to eat and I'm making almost everything from… Continue reading My Thanksgiving Meal Plan
How much meat comes from a cow?
I always wondered about beef and how much meat comes from an animal. In my pre-crunchy days I didn't really care a whole lot about my meat- I just bought what was cheapest. But as I've learned more about how animals are treated, the ideal diet of cattle, and started following a Weston A Price… Continue reading How much meat comes from a cow?
Moving!…. Wait- what?!?!?
So... a funny thing happened last weekend. We found out we had to move this weekend. Yup... Not fun news!! I don't like moving, at all, we've lived 6 places in the 7 years we've been married and had hoped to stay here until we were able to buy our own place. Not gonna happen.… Continue reading Moving!…. Wait- what?!?!?
Changing of the Seasons
I haven't written in a while. To be honest I get depressed in the winter... I isolate myself and get blue when it's cold and snowy. Not to mention the fact that we've been super busy and my son has been battling sickness for about 2 months now! Ugh... I get in this cycle where… Continue reading Changing of the Seasons
Flax Seed Hair Gel
This worked great when J had his hair cut into a mowhawk (somehow we didn't get any pictures of that... I think we're going to need to do it again this summer). And has worked well on my super thick hair the couple of times I've tried it too. It's super easy- just use 2T… Continue reading Flax Seed Hair Gel
