Yesterday was Earth Day. I missed getting this post done in time for it but it's a great Earth Day concept I share with you today - the concept of reducing waste. I firmly approve of the notion that the native American Indians "used the whole buffalo" when they hunted. A buffalo provided many useful … Continue reading Cut back on waste by using the whole buffalo

40 bags in 40 days, in theory
At the beginning of March, I heard about this challenge to focus on 40 areas in your home over the 40 day period of Lent. The idea was to remove 40 bags (or boxes, or items, or storage totes) of stuff from those spaces in order to declutter and spend a little time each day … Continue reading 40 bags in 40 days, in theory
Shopping smarter: Earth Fare vs. Heinen’s
It is said that ignorance is bliss. But ignorance about food can cause major health issues. However, being informed about food means that the pool of acceptable food choices grows ever smaller. Pesticides, GMOs, artificial dyes and flavors, growth hormones, and antibiotics are all chemical concerns from food. Then you add ethical issues of animal … Continue reading Shopping smarter: Earth Fare vs. Heinen’s
Packing for Nicaragua
Once again, I rely on a guest post from my sister! This time it's part of my strange obsession with packing light. She and a group from Heidelberg University are currently in Nicaragua on a spring break trip. While about 47% of me is worried about her, the other 53% is excited for her to … Continue reading Packing for Nicaragua

She's far more likely to actually do it than I am, however.As college students tend to do, she has accumulated a lot of stuff over the last four … Continue reading Surrounded by sorority stuff
Sometimes love means you have a lot of cups
Goldilocks came upon the home of the three bears in the woods. We all know the story. She tried their porridge - Papa bear's was too hot, Mama bear's was too cool, but Baby bear's was just right. She sat in their chairs and slept in their beds to the same effect. Papa and Mama … Continue reading Sometimes love means you have a lot of cups

The cycle of minimalism
It's basically this:
In Defense of Paleo
Sorry to bring things back into gear with another very enthralling food post, but I have some thoughts and a blog is the perfect place for me to express them! I've talked about labels, I've talked about food. What about labeling the way you approach food? The "Paleo" or "Paleolithic" diet is one supposedly based … Continue reading In Defense of Paleo
I’m alive
Dear readers,I apologize for my unannounced hiatus. It started as a brief respite from life, and then I just never went back to my blog. For a long time. I am up to some new minimalist endeavors and I have much foodie news to bring you (probably in a new blog. Because the answer to … Continue reading I’m alive
