As I have struggled to adhere to the food avoidance diet for my son in the last 2 weeks, both my husband and I have occasionally questioned why we are making the effort to take this natural health journey at all. Read more...

I’ve almost done 50 of these 7 Quick Takes hosted by ConversionDiary.com. I love the format, but I haven’t actually been participating in the Linky part on the host blog. Therefore, next time I do a 7 Quick Takes, I am going to format my own graphic and call it just 7 Quick Takes. Read more...

My past: my fitness journey (Part I)

Jenny — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:30:57 +0000

My real health and fitness journey started somewhere around 2001 or 2002 when I first moved to Dallas from East Texas. I was single, starting my career, and searching for answers about life and love in general. I had a lot on my mind — a lot of internal demons to face and spiritual questions to answer. Read more...

Earth Day Lesson: Reuse, glass jars

Jenny — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:47:47 +0000

For the third Earth Day Lesson in our series (previously, Upcycle and Recycling), I thought I’d talk about how I reuse something around my house. Since I’ve been transitioning away from plastic containers as much as I can with a 2- and 3-year-old, I have been saving and reusing my glass jars. Read more...

Earth Day Lesson: Recycling in Richardson

Jenny — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:30:21 +0000

For the second part of my Earth Day series this year, I’m going to share some fun we had this weekend locally at the Richardson city Trash Bash. It’s an annual event here in our town (which is adjacent/connected to Dallas) where citizens can learn about the environmental services that the city offers, learn about local businesses and organizations that provide additional services, and have an opportunity to recycle large items that might not fall within our regular curbside recycling pickup, such as e-Waste.

It’s April, and that means Earth Day! I am attempting to feature educational content on green living throughout this month, perhaps simple things that we kind of take for granted when it comes to the small steps that help us live more consciously in respect for the things we have been given.

Reusing clothes: consignment by mail via ThredUP

Jenny — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:00:00 +0000

If you know me in real life, you know that I am huge fan of the giant twice-yearly consignment sales in this area. I get pretty much all my son’s clothing from these sales once in spring and once in the fall. Read more...
