Happy Sunday, hope everyone is having a great weekend. We needed to play a little catch up today with chores and yard work and I’m feeling a little wiped and sore after a challenging half marathon yesterday. Miko has just been a cute and cuddly sweetheart all week to remind us we should never go out of […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 3
Time to wrap up our LA adventure. Saturday was another long, but awesome day. After hitting the hotel gym and breakfast bar for loaded vegan oatmeal bowls, we headed out to the La Brea Tar Pits. I honestly did not know much about the tar pits beyond what I’ve seen in movies like Volcano, so […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 2
Day 2 of our Los Angeles adventure started early at the Griffith Observatory, an iconic spot in LA I’ve seen in plenty of movies but have never actually been to. If you’re not actually going into the observatory, just taking in the views and hikes – before noon on a weekday is perfect since the […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 1 for the List
We’re sitting at the airport waiting for our flight home after a fun and packed few days in Los Angeles. This may sound strange as a Californian, but it’s been years since I’ve vacationed in this area and after this trip we will be back soon. And goodness, I have so much to cover after […]
Smoky Peppercorn Dressing
We’re trying the dog beds with built in cuddle hoods again because the blanket chaos with the chihuahua beds is getting a little crazy. Leela is still not sure she likes this or has not figured this concept out even though she has no problems burrowing into blankets. I’m not giving up, eventually she’ll embrace these, […]
Smoky Roasted Potatoes
The last few days have been a drag for the pups, not enough walks with all the wind and rain. There has been a lot of pouting. And nasty looks. For some reason I have become obsessed with smoky flavors with all the rain, there’s something savory and comforting about a hot, smoke-seasoned dish. Where […]
Slowing Down for the List
Happy Easter! We’re getting ready to head to a family party – always looking forward to great company, good food and wine. Miko and Leela are not happy with me because the weather is wet and rainy again today and I need to figure out how to get them out for a walk soon. I […]
Hemp Heart Alfredo Dressing
We have been getting lots of rain and wild storms the last few days, the beautiful views of the clouds from our backyard have been breath taking. Rainbows and sunshine rain at the same time – such a gorgeous show from nature. And I am feeling better, working on more deep breathing, meditating, and listening […]
Simple Week Meals
While driving to work yesterday, I caught a story on NPR about climate change and the drastic changes we need to make now so the next generation has a chance to be happy. Nothing really new, but I found myself feeling the same way I have been on long runs lately – feeling like I’m gasping […]
Getting Better for the Weekend List
I am feeling much better and even had two decent training runs at the gym and a just okay long run outside today. The weather has not been very spring-like the last few days with chilly rain and storms. Since we’re getting sunshine today, we had to take advantage of that for yard work and long […]
