I love the idea of making gratitude a routine... and stockpiling thanks has got be a good thing! Thanks for stopping by!!
Thanks for everything: keeping a gratitude journal
-By Lisa I don't mean to get all Oprah here, but I just have to say it. Keeping a daily gratitude journal has been huge for me. I'm not sure if The Secret works; maybe if I glue pictures of the things I want on a poster board, they really will fall in my lap the next day. But what seems to be...
I love that! Yes, no particular order. I thought "Tied for first place" would be a little awkward. : )

Seize the day and eat something yummy: Carpe Donut
-By Lisa As it turns out, I have not been Carpe-ing the Diem and living my life to the fullest. Carpe Donut has been offering these bites of organic, made from scratch heaven since 2007 and I just had my first one last week. I've seriously been missing out. These are mind blowingly good. I’m...

Time to crack that spine, girl!!!

What we’re reading: Simple Abundance
-By Lisa I don't think having a box of tampons on my bedside table would scream "girl" more than Simple Abundance . It's a very girly book. I am not a very girly person. But this book overcomes the shocking pink hue and the delicate, shiny ribbon bookmark. It overcomes those things for one s...

Dog days are (not) over: thanks to the CASPCA
My dog, Grace, taken with my cool new Instagram iphone ap -By Lisa We were looking for a puppy. While we wandered around the CASPCA two weekends ago, we were certain that the pain of losing a dog was something that just needed to be put off as long as possible. We wanted to delay the inevitabl...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to gush about a recipe that you made up, but I've decided to break with convention here... : )
A simple recipe: stuffed portabella mushrooms
-By Lisa I don't remember what meat tastes like. I was three years old the last time I ate any, so my palate's recollection might be a bit fuzzy. But I have a dinnertime game that I like to play with Husband The Omnivore; I ask him to describe the meat he is eating, using strictly non-meat r...
I'm sure it would work just fine!
Dim watts: installing a dimmer
-By Lisa Installing a dimmer is a one person job. Let me be more specific; installing a dimmer is not a two person job. It is especially not a two person job if that second person is someone with whom you share a living space and a desire for a future relationship. This little DIY projec...

Lose the lizard: the skin brush
-By Lisa “You’ve always had lizard skin.” – My mother It's true. My skin is unbearably dry and every dermatologist I’ve seen tells me to drink more water. I drink until I drown; it doesn’t help. I’ve tried lotions and oils and moisturizing soaps and body washes and nothing seems to make a di...

Yeah, this is where "simple living" feels far from simple. I based my info and my switch from the book Clean by Dr. Alejandro Junger, where he recommends nut butters other than peanut. I'm not an expert or a scientist, but from what I have read peanuts are more likely to be contaminated. But it is really hard to know who to believe - so I'm going with trusting my taste buds because I think almond butter is delish. : )
Thanks for reading and for the comment.

A (really) simple recipe: vegan almond cocoa treats
-By Lisa I think this might be it. I think this might be the simplest recipe in existence. And the result is oh so yum. It’s protein-packed and doesn’t contain processed sugar, yet it satisfies my notorious sweet tooth. The original recipe calls for peanut butter but I have recently started a...
