Two words: long. day. But my kitchen is now spotless and put back together. Psh, forget spotless, that sucker’s shining!! As well it should: 2 sweeping rounds, 1 dry swiffer, 1 wet swiffer, 1 hot & sudsy hands and knees scrubbing, 1 more wet swiffer. Whew. Repeat in bathroom. That’s now spotless too, although I’m…

Lunch Break
If you thought I was kidding when I said the wallpaper guys left a load of filth in my kitchen, take a look for yourself: That’ doesn’t even include the half a roll of paper towels I’ve gone through wiping down every hard surface that is covered in sanding dust! hehe I think half of…
Breakfast Sushi
I wanted cereal for breakfast. It’s all I wanted. But in the spirit of my No Cereal challenge, I’m not keeping any cereal in the house (and fortunately I am not a fan of Ross’ cereal, so no temptation there). Mornings like this are why I’m glad I’m branching out from my “cereal routine”. I…
Rue La La + Hot Messes
Rue La La. Isn’t that such a fun word? In case you missed my edit/add on to my previous post, here’s the scoop. There’s a site that, in a nutshell, has different boutiques every week or so. Right now one of the boutiques is a Vera Bradley boutique and you can get some crazy awesome…
Strength + Smoothies + Sounds
Hey hey hey! Got some light strength training in with Regis + Kelly this morning. I took it light, because honestly between moving and everything else that’s gone on, it’s been a couple weeks since I’ve strength trained (sad, because I actually really enjoy it!). So I took it easy, just listened to my body…
Eat What You Crave
As long as you’re craving wholesome, nutritious foods, why not eat what you crave? That’s what I did this morning! I really wanted peaches. check. I really wanted to try my first ever slice of Ezekiel bread. check. I wanted raw almond butter. check. check. And while I eating what I craved, I actually got…
Alachua Adventures
Good news! Strange men were in my apartment all afternoon stripping the old wallpaper! Bad news – it currently looks like crap haha. They came a little later in the day, so now they have to come back tomorrow to finish everything and paint. I hope they know what they’re doing, because based on how…
Coconut Agave Toasted Quinoa
Anybody who guessed my “mystery breakfast” had to do with either quinoa or granola, you were pretty close! Caitlin recently made Toasted Quinoa from a Body + Soul Magazine. My breakfast was inspiration off of that. The base? Coconut Agave Toasted Quinoa(2 servings) 1/2 cup quinoa (rinsed and patted dry) 2 Tablespoons agave nectar 2…
Sunday’s Summary
Our intentions this morning were to make peach corn pancakes. A cornmeal pancake batter that we’d add peaches to as we flipped them on the griddle. However, this was one of those mornings where what our plans were didn’t come to fruition. I used Veganomicon‘s Corn Blueberry Pancake recipe and the only reason I can…
Classrooms, IKEA, Whole Foods + Ry!
Good morning friends! Yesterday was so fun! I went with Ross to help him finish up his classroom. I was his official “artistic consultant” (read: I hung posters). He has a pretty snazzy classroom and I know he’s really excited for students coming on Monday! We departed Small Town, USA (his school isn’t in Gainesville)…
