Happy Super Bowl Sunday, hope you’re having some relaxing fun today. We hosted a small family gathering and vegan taco party for it. I almost cancelled the plans after a tough week at work, I had a very nasty reality check this week on how bad job stress is impacting me that is prompting a […]
Getting Through It for the List
That’s what this week has felt like since it’s been very busy at work with a lot going on and not a lot of resources currently. Sweet Miko has been such a cuddly buddy always wanting to be in my lap or in the same room with me when I am home. And we have […]
Fresh Eats for the List
Back to the grind for the new year with busy work weeks, but Miko has been having a wonderful week getting walks, eating plentiful amounts of cooked sweet potato, enjoying his vast collection of warm blankets and using his ramp to freely enjoy the heated bed pad on our bed. I have been enjoying getting […]
2022 for the List
Happy New Year! But I am sad that we lost Betty White just before. What a legend and such a talented icon. I started watching Golden Girls again yesterday on Hulu and wowed at how edgy of a show it was and holds up today. It’s been a relaxing and cold long weekend here, Miko […]
Cruising into December for the List
Crazy that it’s December already and it feels like December weather this weekend being overcast, foggy, and cold. Miko is loving the excuse to snuggle in warm comforters fresh from the dryer, take in the fireplace and embrace his many warm blankets. But he does take breaks from his warm blankets to share meals with […]
Ready for Holiday Fun for the List
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 […]
