The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
When I get home from work, I’m usually confronted with the I-want-dinner-now stare from hungry chihuahuas. Their dinner is always served before I start preparing our dinner so they can beg for dinner number two while we’re eating. I’m usually just as eager for dinner after a busy day, but like to keep things simple [...]
Hooray for tomorrow being Friday! It’s another freezing week here and I just had a brisk 3.3 mile run in 30 degree weather, great motivation to run faster! But I actually don’t mind running in cold weather, it’s invigorating and no muscle pain after. A good friend gave Miko a cute, cuddly stuffed dog for [...]
Halloween was pretty low-key here, hubby carved the pumpkin into an adorable minion from Despicable Me. And I dashed to Target after work to grab Halloween candy which probably wasn’t the best idea waiting until the very last minute, the candy aisle was total chaos with bags thrown everywhere and slow-moving carts trying to find [...]
Mint is taking over one of our planter beds, seriously! I adore the stuff, but am clearly not consuming it fast enough. I tried to change that grabbing a handful for a new salad experiment. And found out Miko enjoys mint leaves as much as I do. Apparently I wasn’t the only one grabbing dinner [...]
Yesterday’s celebration for the 4th at my father’s house was so pleasant after 2 days of insanity, it was perfect to disconnect and spend the day with family even if a little too much wine and food was had. It wouldn’t be one of our family gatherings without plenty of veggies, hummus and wine for [...]
Sometimes I wish I could party at home all day like Miko. And he’s ready to party more when I get home letting me know it’s toy-throwing and tug-o-war time. How can you resist this face? And a good growl session is very therapeutic after another crazy day at work. So is a bright and [...]
Doesn’t Smokey look so comfy? She just loves my pillow and never misses an opportunity to make make herself at home on it when I forget to make the bed further reminding me that I’m out of my game this week still recovering from a bladder infection and slightly goofed up on antibiotics. Ugh, I’ve [...]
Long weekends are great – it’s Sunday, but it feels like Saturday, love it! And it’s been a great weekend so far, I met up with my mom and sisters for lunch in Old Town Sacramento yesterday where the music festival just happened to be going on. There were bands set up to play all [...]
It seems the day after the Superbowl should be a national holiday off work, don’t you think? Even though I’m not a huge football fan, I was feeling the fun of last night’s party when my alarm went off this morning and dragged through the morning at work. But it was worth it. Before hubby [...]
The older I get, the more I appreciate the day after Christmas even though I don’t have kids. I used to hate the day after as a kid – no more gifts or exciting family gatherings. Now it’s a relaxing start to a quiet week of limbo before the new year where I can catch [...]
This has been a quiet week at work and that’s alright with me, it’s nice to enjoy a little low time before charging into the new year. Time to continue to snap away with our new camera, my poor pets. But I just love the lighting and detail of this shot, the flash on my [...]
This week has been busy, yet slow-moving. It’s been incredibly busy at work, but not as productive as I’d like. I’ve been spending a lot of time in wheel-spinning frustration while stressed that there’s so much on my plate. But tomorrow is Friday, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As [...]
