How can it be mid-April already!?!?!? I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for two weeks already-And I love that this food diary is keeping me accountable. I hope it isn’t too boring to read.

Every Sunday, I tentatively plan my week. Every day, I plan the daytime hours while the kids are at school. I have to or the bathrooms would never get clean, blog photos and posts would never get done and I would just wander around lost. I’m not a morning person, but if I’m not productive in the morning, the kids…

I like food, especially comfort food on long days or during bad weather and there has been a lot of that lately. We are coming out…

You guys, I don’t know why I do this to myself. I get my health back on track and feel great, then I backslide. WHYYYYY?! I’m so sick of feeling sick. I did an 8 week stint of eating clean and slowly adding foods back into my diet. I felt awesome. I wasn’t bloated, addicted to sugar, snacking mindlessly or…

The room was full of unfamiliar faces and small groups of chatting coworkers. It was an introvert’s nightmare. I longed for a glass of wine in my hand, but I had given up drinking for the year so I was on my own, so to speak. My husband and I were at his company Christmas party. I longed for a…

When you think of minimalism, do you immediately think of empty show home-type rooms? Or clinical white walls? That is what I thought, too!!

Arrange mindfully. Let…
