Imagine if every business had zero waste initiatives? Bring your own mug. Bring your own straw. Bring your own bags. Bring your own jars. Bring your own everything. This may sound tedious, if you’re not used to these habits. However imagine a world where being wasteful was not an option. You always have to bring…

As much as I can’t believe it, it’s that time of year again. Time to look back and reflect on the past 12 months that were 2018. I know there’s still 19 days left in the year but I have zero running plans other than to have fun and enjoy the miles. Ironically, I’m taking […]

It hasn’t been a smooth season for me as far as body image goes. I started grappling with dysmorphia back in the fall. The discomfort has quieted down since then, but it hasn’t gone away. The last few months are the most consistently uncomfortable I’ve felt in my body in a good many years. I’ve…

Halloween has passed; you survived Thanksgiving, and now… Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! And with that, so is a lot of spending. Every single year, families will spend – and, for some, arguably waste – hundreds or thousands of dollars on toys. It doesn’t help that Christmas is conveniently tucked between Black Friday, Cyber…

This isn’t the first time we’ve discussed the pros and cons of daycare and preschools. Remember Nursery Fields Forever, the amazing preschool that teaches kids how to grow their own food?

My slow cooker has been a very good friend to me throughout the last twelve weeks of clinical work. I rarely use it overnight on weeknights the way I used to, mostly because I have to rush in the morning (and don’t want to clean it). But it’s a wonderful helper on weekends, when I’m…
