It's become popular to do a cleanse, where you change your diet for a short period of time to eliminate toxins and reset your body, bringing you to a place of good health to jump off from and start treating yourself right. Most cleanses that you hear of are juice cleanses, and typically you have … Continue reading A Gentle Cleanse
Exercise Programs
Jillian Michaels is scary. Just her name is intimidating - you hear and shudder, "I never want to sweat it out in one of her classes as she yells at me and my body shrivels up and dies," you think. Okay, maybe she's not that scary. But the first time I did one of her … Continue reading Exercise Programs
Hey February and New Blog Name
Oops I'm a little late saying hi to February... the shortest month of the year. Should have done it a favor and said hello a few days earlier.

Grocery Planning: Cooking for Two
I think I've started something revolutionary for our meals, grocery shopping, and budget. I never thought this idea would work for me, because 1) I like grocery shopping, 2) We don't like to waste food, and 3) We follow a strict grocery budget.
