Making Mealtime Special Making mealtime special can involve doing something out of the ordinary, like dusting off and using that “look-but-don’t-touch” teapot and teacup combo for breakfast. It can also include preparing meals as a family and eating them together around the table (or via FaceTime, if you’re unable to be with your family right now). Eating together as a…

The Resilience of Fresh Mint
Even though my container garden has gone from bountiful to barren due to neglect, I’m grateful for the resilience of fresh mint… Coming in clutch for my morning smoothie! 🙂
Kicking Off Your Goals For the New Year When You’re a Week Behind Schedule!
During the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, I came across a variety of articles detailing how to “start off the new year successfully” and social media posts sharing how people were using that time to “mindfully set their intentions and goals” for the New Year.

While living in Austin, TX, I discovered the wonders of Ramen… the soul food of Japan. And the restaurant responsible for my ramen noodle re-education—Ramen Tatsu-ya.

Ramen Tatsu-ya noodles are tender, served…

My family doesn’t always share the same diverse food palate or level of experimentation as I, so I have no qualms about going out on food adventures by myself. This was the case during my recent outing to the Austin culinary hot spot, Uchi. Uchi…
Working It Out
This is a blast-from-the-past blog re-post from my first blog, Words of Wellness. These tips still hold true, so I figured I’d share them once again! I enjoy watching a show on Fine Living Network called “Bulging Brides.” At the start of the show, the brides-to-be are lamenting the fact that they are unable to fit into their wedding gowns…
Take The First Step Toward Achieving Your Goals
Take the first step! “What first step?” you ask. That step that will lead you in the direction of your goals and dreams. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his infinite wisdom said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” It all begins with the first step. Each of us has our own…
