Whoa, Thanksgiving really is next week. Still trying to wrap my mind around that and looking forward to down time with family and friends. It looks very fall and festive here with overcast skies, turning leaves, and chilly temps. Miko has been refusing his early morning walks because it’s been too cold and misty outside. […]
Cauli Crumble Holiday Mac
These are interesting times which seems like an understatement. When I first started this blog, I was on a passionate mission to adopt a healthy, high raw plant based lifestyle and enjoyed spending lots of time in the kitchen experimenting with recipes and new kitchen toys. That has waned over the years and especially now […]
Manic November for the List
November has always been an interesting month to me, a conflicted month. It should be a great month, the holidays and fun times with friends and family are here and that is great. But there’s also a consistent, underlying anxiety. The stress of getting ready for the holidays and pressure to make them great. With […]
Enjoying Fall for the List
I am enjoying the extra hour this weekend for much needed downtime and taking in fall sunsets and scenes. Miko has been enjoying warm snuggle time on laps and his many, many blankets and beds all over the house because he is not a happy camper unless he has a comfy landing spot in every […]
Fall Fun Times for the List
Happy Halloween! Have any fun plans? We’re handing out candy, recipe experimenting, and drinking wine – not a bad way to spend it. Fall is in full swing here and it’s gorgeous with rain, turning leaves, and greenery returning after last weekend’s massive rain storm. A few weeks ago I snapped a pic of an […]
Just Hanging for the List
Here we are at Sunday again and me mentally preparing to face another work week – I can do this, yeah. It’s interesting times here and I’m sure everywhere. I hope everyone is hanging in there. Miko has been very happy to hang out chilling in the AC and being a sweet buddy to us. […]
Quiet Weekend for the List
It’s been a low-key weekend here, we didn’t even step out to eat because I spent some time working this weekend. Ugh, I hope things settle down soon. It was another hot weekend and Miko was perfectly happy to chill inside with us. I did get out for some runs to take in the scenery, […]
Over the 4th for the list
The older I get, the less I enjoy the 4th of July. This year was especially tough trying to protect Miko from firework anxiety with his heart condition and worrying about fires with it being so dry and in a bad drought already this year. Miko hates fireworks, hates them. So we usually end up […]
Celebrations for the List
Happy Sunday, I hope you’re having a good weekend. We got a little relaxing in this weekend and playing a bit of catch up with chores and projects after a few busy weeks. Miko has been having a great time with lots of cuddles, snacks, and fun at our backyard Easter family party last weekend. […]
I’m Back for the List
Happy Easter! It has been a crazy last two weeks or so, just crazy. I worked very long hours both days last weekend getting equipment ready for a new contract and didn’t have energy to do much else. We got everything done in time, but it was a scramble that burned me out a bit, […]
