Last week I had the opportunity to explore Boston for the first time. I lived in New England most of my life, yet I hadn't ever done more than drive by! Some of my cousins and I got together for the day and planned a fun trip viewing the beautiful architecture, learning more of the history of the city, and delving into some yummy Boston food. :) I took some pictures so I could take you along with me on a virtual tour of Boston. Welcome to the city! ...as was pretty much everything in the city! I thought this was a fun sign! Samuel Adams Part of my day involved a guided tour of the south part of the Freedom Trail. I would love to do this again, and tour the whole trail instead. I learned a lot during this tour! This building is called the Old South Meeting house. It was a very key part of the Boston Tea Party, and the largest building in the city at that time. On December 16, 1773, five thousand colonists crowded into this building to decide what to do with the tea. If it was unloa...

Do you see this, friends? This is my name. In print. As a conference workshop speaker. I'm sitting here at Starbucks finishing up my notes for the workshop, because ohmystars it is this Friday and wow, that came fast. I've only known about it since April, haha. They asked me to do a workshop on blogging for a group of Christian writers, and I'm all like, why me? I think I am the smallest most insignificant blog on the planet, and they want me to speak about it? The notes came together pretty well - I have a whole board of blogging tips to refer to, plus an amazing network of other bloggers that have helped me along the way. I even have a simple slideshow and handouts and that part is easy. But now I'm to the hard part, the most important parts: the introduction and conclusion , where I desperately want to encourage people that they can do it, show them that it is worth it, and ignite a spark of creativity. And now I just feel inadequate.  Because how do you encourage ...

The Healthy Living bundle is no longer available...thanks for taking an interest! Subscribe to my blog to read more about my healthy living journey and get a heads up when the next bundle is available.  ************************************************* We're doing something a little different around here today, folks. Instead of a typical hello Monday post, where we greet the new week with a smile and reflect on the past week, we're saying goodbye. Goodbyes are hard. Trust me, I've had my fair share of them! I don't want this to be a sad goodbye for you, however. Parting can be sweet sorrow, in this case! That is why I am giving you this one last chance to grab the healthy living eBook bundle before it is gone...because in just 8 hours (midnight EST) it will be, forever! So lets take a moment to say goodbye, shall we? Goodbye, over $1,000 worth of eBooks that will help me provide nourishing meals for my family, take control of my own health, and give me the knowledge to...

My own journey to healthier, greener choices did not begin until I was out of college. As I started to read blogs , research real foods and recipes, and make some healthy decisions for myself I found that I was quickly overwhelmed! Things like grinding my own flour, knowledge of herbs and herbal remedies, essential oils, etc. etc. went way over my head. Too much information, not enough time and money! It is easy to feel like this healthy living thing is just a fad, and sales gimmic, and a way for companies to get more money. But after learning more about what we are really putting into our bodies each day and the truly negative effects it has, I have come to realize that it is a very important topic! Our bodies can not function the way God intended if we do not have the support and nutrition that he designed for us to need. But it does take work, and it does take money...precious money we might not have. Trust me, I get that! I don't have the money to shop at health food-y, organi...
