Angie - This week I decided that I had had enough of the blinding white that is my leg color these days. Its July for Pete’s sake, it’s the longest I’ve been into summer time without putting on a swimsuit or having the opportunity to soak up some glorious Vitamin D. Since the opportunities...

Jamie - My new thing this week was getting out of my comfort zone regarding reading.  I love fiction and stick to it mostly, but this week, I bought an American history book and haven’t peeked up yet! Trish - My new thing was silly… but I wanted to create happy reminders throughout my day. ...

Jamie - My new thing this week was to unplug for an entire day.  No cell phones (dead anyway) &  no computer (laptop cord croaked).  Instead I spent copious amounts of time hanging out with the kids, watching movies with the husband and generally living in a state of “now”.  It was...

Jamie - After multiple tries with the toddler and a certain art project I had in mind, I gave up.  That isn’t like me.  I usually stick it out and get whatever it is I want – in this case, a footprint out of paint.   Anyway, after attempt 5, I took a step back, reassessed the situation...

This week we collectively racked up a lot of new things.. For Jamie, well she had more kids spend the night with her than she’s ever had in her  life.  5 in all.  3 moms and 1 dad.  The kids were in charge. For Trish and I, where do we start? We drove up to see Jamie so that’s a first....

Jamie - I tried a new face wash that I love! Philosophy Purity. I love it so much I’m glad I bought the super duper size! Trish - My new thing was to try new foods that scare me. A crawfish is basically a cockroach of the river to me. But I was at a crawfish boil so I decided to try it. It was...

Jamie - My new thing was I took a hike. It wasn’t my first hike but one day when we found ourselves bored, we hopped in the car and headed off to a hiking spot rather than vegged out in front of the tv like we would’ve done usually Trish - My new thing this week was layers.  I have long...

Week 20 and we’re still going strong! Jamie - This week was the end of an experiment. I am what you call a flexitarian.  I eat meat rarely (maybe once a month.  I eat fish more often).  Personally, I think it’s a stupid name for someone who can’t commit (j/k to all those flexitarians...

What have we been up to this week? Find out! Jamie - This week, we took a day off.  My oldest (who is in 4K) said she needed some “Mommy time” and so we took Friday and kept it all to ourselves.  We spent the day vegging out in our jammies,  watching a movie (Sound of Music – again),...

Jamie - My new thing this week was a new recipe.  Shocker. It was a great almost-summer meal.  Light, but full of flavor! Summer Pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli and white beans Ingredients 1 pound whole wheat pasta shells (small) – or any type of smaller pasta will do 2 tablespoons olive...
