As a vegan, two of the most common questions I hear are, "was it hard to give up cheese?" and "is it difficult living with a non-vegan?" Not at all, and not really. It wasn't hard at

Here are a few pictures from my recent trip to Ceour d'Alene and Sandpoint, Idaho.

As I scrolled through my photos looking for something to write about, I came across this recent picture of my baby girls. Just like humans, dogs (as well as all animals) have many emotions and express

Here's a very green photo as well as a throwback. I've always loved climbing trees, even in adulthood, even in college. This was taken on the campus of the university from which I graduated in 2013. I

Since my last post, I've realized that I am a little mixed up about the #colorchallenge. The first day of the week is Sunday, and the first color of the rainbow (ROYGBIV) is red, so naturally I thought

This is my entry for the daily photo color challenge. I took this picture while hiking in the Cleveland National Forest last weekend. (Check out my previous post about our hike to Eagle Rock!) When I snapped

Finally! For once I am actually posting about something on the day it happened! Today we hiked to Eagle Rock. I was very excited about this hike because it's a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail. Babe

Photo source It seems that most of my blog ideas come to mind when I'm at work and unable to write them down (usually because I have an armful of dog food or I'm helping a customer). However, some ideas

When I was around fifteen…no, I have to go back even further…Almost as far back as my memory goes, I've had a fascination with the ocean. After watching Free Willy (at three years old) I was obsessed with

If your birthday falls on a Wednesday, which weekend is the official birthday weekend? Since I wasn't too thrilled about turning another year older I just claimed both. Michael had a surprise outing planned

Before I post anything about our recent adventures, including our hike to a giant potato chip, I still have several hundred photos from Vegas that I have yet to share. Don’t worry, I promise not to post

My man loves American football, I love real football, but we both love baseball. I grew up watching it with my grandfather, and Michael not only watched it but also played little league and junior varsity.

Today I am interrupting my Las Vegas series to wish you all a happy Star Wars day and share some pictures of my Leia posing as the real Princess Leia. I took these pictures a few years ago when I still

Remember how I said there are lots of things to do in Las Vegas besides gambling? Visiting the Hoover Dam is one of them. Technically it's not in Vegas, but it's only 45 minutes away. If you visit one

As a traveller I’ve always wanted to see all the great cities of the world. But one city that was never on my list of places to visit was Las Vegas, Nevada. My boyfriend went there last year for the first

Don't worry; I did not fall off the face of the earth. On the contrary, I am alive and well, just very busy but extremely happy. Since my previous post I got a promotion and have been working more hours,

On the 26th, my eldest canine kid turned four years old! According to several online dog age calculators, Leia is approximately thirty-five. Yes, I know what you're thinking: that doesn't add up. Well,

My day job involves a lot of manual labor, so I have a lot of "free" time, basically all day, to think about whatever I want. One of the million things that crossed my mind was today's color

Earlier this evening I was trying to think if I had anything to post, and since today was an ordinary work day with nothing standing out as post-worthy, I began thinking about the color challenge. Someone

Don't you love it when you go to a fun event, like Disneyland or the beach with family, and you get a great sunburn as a souvenir? If you read my previous post you know that I attended the San Diego Yoga
