You’re on the Path to Freedom when…

You have no concern for how others may think of you.

Tulips

Even though I’m a tad bit manic today trying to prepare and pack for our upcoming trip, I thought I’d take a sec to share some photos of the tulips Pops brought me on our anniversary. I love that he got me flowers I can plant in the ground and enjoy for years to come [...]

Confessions of a Guilty Traveler

I have something to confess…. For all my efforts at making our household greener and more eco-friendly, I fail terribly in one specific area – TRAVEL. I do feel a lot of guilt about this. Unlike my normal reaction to guilt this guilt does nothing to move me to change this behavior. It all began [...]

No More Paper Towels

This may not sound like such a big deal to you. In fact, I really hope it doesn’t – then you may be more inclined to join me. Last year, I made the commitment to not use paper napkins in our home any more. So, all year long (and still today) we’ve used those “fancy” [...]

Meatless Monday – Stuffed Peppers

I had a most serious “SENIOR” moment today! I just now at 7:43 pm realized what happened! This morning, I downloaded the pictures from my camera for this post. As I was downloading, I realized that I haven’t backed up my photos from my computer to my external drive in quite some time. So, I [...]

Your moods are fewer, lighter and more unguarded

Happy Anniversary to US!

Yep, 16 years ago today I joined the “Hunter” crew. I gained an amazing spouse and soulmate and two beautiful daughters. Wow, how time flies. I can’t believe it’s already been 16 years of marriage (17 years together). I can’t imagine a different life and feel so blessed I have this one. CHEERS, ~ Lita

FOOD!!!!

(I’m warning you ahead of time, this is a seriously rambling post…way more than usual) I’m seriously having a FOOD obsession crisis! As in, that’s all I think about..what should I eat, what shouldn’t I? on and on and on….. So, I’ve told you I’m part of Nia’s  Fitness Challenge over at Nia Peeple’s Elements [...]

Bradventures

Since beginning this blog, I’ve really cut back on the freelance design projects I used to work on (outside of my full-time job). It could could be because I’m getting old(er) and find that I simply can’t do as much as I used to do. Or it could be that I simply don’t want to [...]

Meatless Mondays – Vegan Chili

I found this recipe on the C’est La Vegan site (one of my all-time favorite Vegan Recipe sites)..and let me tell you, this is now one of my FAVORITES DISHES! It will be a staple meal in our house!! Ingredients: 2 Tbsp. oil 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup chopped white onion 1 lb. defrosted [...]

You stop thinking about how much money you may or may not have.

Cure for the Blahs…

It’s true, last week was pretty blah for me, but, today… I found the cure. It’s these 3 guys…Westly, Pops & Hunter. Pops loves to take these two monkeys to the park on Saturday mornings. I felt like today, Bubba & I had to show up unexpectedly and invade their “boy” time to join in [...]

Fabulous Friday

Using the word “fabulous” in the title is my secret way of trying to uplift myself today. Sorry, I’ve been a slack blogger this week…I kind of have the blahsssssssss….. AND I can find no reason why! Which, I suppose, is a good thing. I started trying to figure out “what’s going on”, “what could [...]

Spring-like Morning

(warning…if you’re town/house/state is still under snow, this could be depressing) Today, on our morning walk, Pops and I noticed that the trees are starting to bloom all over town. We did agree, that this is probably a bit early and fear that some crazy cold-snap could easily still be heading our way. Usually, said [...]

More Vegan Blogs!!

This morning, I happened to catch a post over at “The Kind Life Blog” which rang out a call to all the vegan bloggers out there to submit their blog for a potential “feature” on their site. Of course, this blog is by Alicia Silverstone author of the book that inspired my whole turn to [...]

Winter Weekend in San Francisco

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!! Though the “big” fun we had this weekend had nothing to do with watching the big game, I hope all of you are having fun cheering for your favorite team – hopefully with a big crew of friends and lots of high calorie snacks. Our “big” fun this weekend was heading [...]

It’s Not Saturday!!

So, I got up this morning ready to do my “It’s Saturday” jig when I realized…. IT’S NOT SATURDAY!!! Ugh, the nerve of Friday being here and ruining my joy over thinking it was Saturday. There is one thing wonderful about it being Friday… I have my weekly trek over to Philz Coffee today with [...]

Bloggy Moms February Blog Hop

Vegan Blog Hop yesterday, and now Bloggy Moms February Blog Hop today. Why? Well, because I love vegans and I love being a Mommy (and I’ve met the most fabulous bloggy moms on the Bloggy Moms site). Hope you’ll join in the fun!!

Vegan Blog Love

During this past week’s giveaways, I was overwhelmed by the responses to the Vegan (animal-friendly) handbag. There are so many incredible Vegans out there and I wanted to create a Blog Hop so we could all share our sites and inspirations with each other – and so I can simply find and link to all [...]

New Garden Shoes

I’m not really a “shoe” person per se. Well, at least I don’t think so. The last time I was really, really excited about shoes would probably have been in my teens when I was getting a new pair of toe shoes for ballet class or tap shoes for tap class – and even then [...]

Susan Nichole Vegan Handbag Winner!!!

The moment has finally arrived….WOW I simply cannot believe all the comments on this post! The most I have ever received on a post (151) and I’m so touched and honored and have so enjoyed reading about everyone’s favorite thing to wear!! I really got some great inspiration there! I will definitely be trying to [...]
