Loving Loomstate

[July 15]

In this ridiculous heat and thoughts of my growing belly, I’m dying for some of these Loomstate pieces to add a little style and sensibility to my days: Related posts:Happy Father’s DayHaiti and BeyondBaby GiftingPregnancy Week 8

Sunscreen

[July 14]

So I know this post is coming a little later in the season than I would have liked, but it took a bit of research and asking around to figure out how I felt about the whole thing. For some time now I’ve been very careful about making sure that all of my make up [...]

Oatmeal Brulee

[July 13]

Sunday morning rolled around and I just couldn’t eat another bagel with tofu (though I probably could have;) the bagel love runs deep).  I wanted something different from the usual and remembered seeing a recipe in The Food Network Magazine about an oatmeal souffle.  While that sounded delicious, it also sounded a bit overwhelming for [...]

Ground Zero (Just Over 2 Weeks Pregnant)

[July 12]

So there it is.  I’m pregnant!  Just barely, but still.  Last friday I peed on a stick and it came out positive.  So yay!  Here we go.  Down the long road of pregnancy. Now I know that most people don’t spill the beans on their pregnancies until after the first 3 months seeing as the [...]

Greenwashing. The post below is by no means new information, so I apologize if it is repetitive for some people, but I think it’s worth discussing, particularly from this point of view…….

Veggies, Veggies, and More Veggies

[July 8]

Most of the time I base my meals (especially dinners) around a grain.  Often at times it’s brown rice, but I also cook a lot of whole wheat pasta, cous cous, barley, whole grain garlic bread or whole wheat tortillas.  Sometimes I include a protein (beans, hummus, nuts, seeds), but I usually get more than [...]

Haiti and Beyond

[July 7]

In the wake of the oil spill, many of us have been overlooking tragedies in other parts of our world.  I believe we live in a global society these days and it’s important to do our best to remain aware of the world outside of our borders.  We are very fortunate here in America to [...]

Reincarnate Your Leftovers and Save the World

[July 6]

One of the best ways to cut back on your waste output is to reuse and recycle, right?!?  Eating leftovers, or reincarnating them, is a perfect and supereasy way to do that.  Cutting back on our waste and using everything we have to the fullest shrinks our carbon footprint one bit at a time. It’s [...]

4th of July Weekend 2010

[July 5]

4th of July weekend is somewhat of a tradition in my parents house.  While we’re not particularly big on national holidays, this one happens to fall directly before my dad’s birthday.  Every year we each make it a point to spend the whole weekend at the house (or back and forth to the Whole Foods) [...]
