My intention was to start this post as a little snippet on micro and macro nutrients. Within a minute thoughts of "systems", "concurrent", "GIGO (garbage in garbage out) and now you are reading this post.

What does fun look like, usually fear
Usually fun is cleverly disguised as fear. A month full of fun was met with much objection from one of my kids as we proclaimed a venture we excitedly anticipated.....the Mount Everest of water. A ride through class 5 rapids. The previous year it was kicking and fighting and prying her hands off the railing … Continue reading What does fun look like, usually fear
What Does Money Buy, a story on procrastination
"I for one, quite contrary to what many people say, believe without a doubt, that money does buy happiness".

Whether you practice "Meatless Mondays", "Fish Fridays" or thinking about going vegetarian, tofu is a champ! Many folks use cost as an excuse to avoid eating healthier.

A classic no knead bread
Bread, the once staple in a "diet" now has so many turning to gluten free products. My family is not much different. About 20 years ago in becoming in tune to how certain foods affect my body, I reduced and almost eliminated bread from my diet.

Financial Programming
Although I would love to start in following Steve Covey's words "with the end in mind" (retirement), lets get right to the programming of finances. Let's point the finger at the who's, why's and whats, in remembering that when you point one finger, three are pointing back.

Healthier Quinoa Cookies
