Menu Plan Monday
Last week our biggest hit was the southwestern 5 layer salad, which we made with the chips on the bottom and layered like nachos. Oh my good golly grief! We stuffed ourselves and enjoyed them for lunch again the following day!
Monday ~ My mom made us pigs in a blanket (ours are the cabbage roll [...]
Stepping Lightly v4.0
As many of you remember, that I started blogging about living simply and stepping lightly after seeing the phrase over and over again. But the real kicker was when I heard from one of Eckhart Tolle’s group to Step Lightly and to not walk with any burdens. That put me over the edge. That made [...]
Homemade Tortilla Recipe
As I move toward a more simple life, my goal is start learning how to make my own things and especially starting in the kitchen. As I made my grocery list this past week, I knew that others made their own tortillas. Why can’t (shouldn’t) I do that too?! I didn’t put tortillas on my [...]
Garden Pizza Recipe
We love pizza around here, but my usual cheese pizza biscuits were getting a little old. I ran across a garden pizza recipe, and I just had to try it. It turned out really yummy, and we’ll be eating leftovers for lunch today. I think next time I’ll add green peppers, or garlic, or crushed [...]

I have found that these past few weeks, I have really began to question [...]
Monthly Grocery List
Since we live in a small town and it’s hard to find organic products (or products for a reasonable price), we travel about 60 miles once a month to go to an employee owned grocery store. We have a lot of options there, and we find the things that we like (organic foods/produce, organic beauty [...]
Reiki Self-Treatment 2
This morning I woke up with a headache and thought that I really should do another reiki treatment on myself. Read about my first one here, or about reiki and how I began practicing.
I went into our library and turned on a classical music cd called New Morning, and I laid down on my bed [...]

Cheap Maternity Clothes
Have you ever noticed how expensive maternity clothes are?! They are pretty outrageously priced, and I can understand why so many people have 1 or 2 pairs of maternity pants and a few shirts that they mix and match. Maternity clothes are enough to break a budget, especially these days!
So I have treated myself to [...]
