Weekly Check in | Date – Ants & Plants
I used to think flowers were a waste of money. In fact, I said that to my husband one valentine’s day, that he didn’t have to worry about buying me flowers, I’d rather the money go to something else that will last. I’ve never been a gardener, our yard for the most part has been…

Weekly Check in | Oct 12/23- I’m Back
After a summer long hiatus, I’m back. At least I’m resilient and don’t give up, I’ll give myself that at least. For the second summer in a row, I spent it eating what I wanted and again, ate all the vegan ice cream. Side note, seriously try it. There’s no need for us to consume…

The Calgary Stampede
This post is long and varied and will discuss my old self as a rodeo event supporting human to my new vegan self who sees the rodeo and chuckwagon races in a different light. I would be tickled pink if you stuck with me to the end. I would greatly appreciate if you could pledge…

Inspired by Birds| May 18, 2023
In 2021, my Aunt Hilde and Uncle Don visited from Kelowna and brought with them a homemade birdhouse, it was beautiful. We had never had a birdhouse and hadn’t thought too much of the birds. We installed the bird house near a tree on our back deck and a swallow family took the the house…

Weekly Check in | Exam Room LIVE in LA Podcast
I wrote about meeting Dr. Barnard and Chuck Carrol in last week’s post and this week wanted to share a bit about the podcast experience. Spoiler alert, I had a blast!! Dr. Barnard and Chuck remembered my name from the night before and greeted me by name when I got to see them again. I…

Weekly Check in | March 23/23 – BINGE
This is not a post that I’m thrilled about writing. I debated NOT writing it but figured I may as well be honest. I guess that’s why I started this blog, though the perfectionist in me secretly hoped starting the blog would mean I would sail perfectly to my goal. That wishful thinking is hysterical…

Weekly Check in | March 16/23 – The Black Hole
I can fall into a black hole of despair very quickly. While I do know what to eat for optimal health, knowing what to eat and following through doesn’t always translate. I love whole plant foods and have had so much success losing weight and keeping it off because when I eat predominantly whole plants,…

Weekly Check in | March 9/23 – My top 3 meals!
I’m always fascinated by what other vegans eat and yet am hesitant to share what I eat. Mainly because I am not a recipe creator, I’m not a nutritionist, and I often change the method or ingredients in recipes. It’s also lots of work to share recipe steps, so mad respect to all the recipe…

Weekly Check in | March 2/23 – Banned!
We ordered vegan pizza from Panago this weekend. Cousin Clint says I’m banned. Last month was the first time I had any sort of pizza since April 2020. Almost three years of no pizza and the second time I have it, my family issues a ban. Dammmmnnnn!! It’s comically shocking to me that I immediately…
