Do You Celebrate Lent?

Rhea — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:41:54 +0000

I have never “celebrated” (observed?) Lent. I honestly thought that it was something only the Catholic religion did and I remember thinking that my friend in high school was weird for giving something up since she wasn’t Catholic. As I’ve gotten older and more knowledgeable, I realize that many Christian denominations observe Lent and the [...]

Clean Eating Vs. Paleo Eating

Rhea — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:15:19 +0000

What is Clean Eating: Eating food in it’s most natural state. Nothing white (flour, sugar, rice, etc). Avoid all things processed and refined. Lean protein and healthy fats (like those from nuts) Lots and lots of organic fruits and vegetables. Shopping for organic and grass fed products. No preservatives, no fast food, no alcohol (gasp!) [...]

I Don’t Do Well With Nines

I was talking to my cousin two weeks ago about our upcoming birthdays (we are a week apart) and she very rudely informed me that I was not turning 38, but that in fact, I was actually turning thirty NINE. I was so upset! This entire past year I have been telling people that I [...]

Happy Happy Birthday!

Holy crap! It’s been a whole year since I hacked into Rhea’s blog! If you’re slightly confused, I took over Rhea’s little bloggy home this time last year, for a very special day. Today is Rhea’s birthday! Since I let myself in last year, I’m sure she’s expecting this post. Plus, I kinda asked her [...]

Recipe: White Bean and Chicken Soup

I stopped at the store one day on my way to work to pick up something for lunch. I was in the middle of my 21 Day Sugar Detox so picking something from the “quick fixings” deli counter was difficult. I’ve been really good about taking a lunch, but on this day I forgot and [...]

It’s my birthday on Saturday and I received a card today filled with very special birthday wishes from my surrogate triplets. It made my whole day!

Remembering my First Car

Rhea — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:28:47 +0000

I learned to drive in my mom’s Camaro, but I’m pretty sure I scared the crap out of her too many times so I certainly wasn’t allowed to keep driving that bright yellow muscle car past a few lessons. I think I took my drivers test in my parents boring beige Ford Escort Wagon…but I’m [...]

Sweet Personalized Photo Valentines

This is not a new idea (I’m not that clever), and I have come across a few different versions on Pinterest and just LOVED how they turned out so I decided to make my own. I am THRILLED with the results and the boys had so much fun helping to make them. They keep asking [...]
