I have found that one of the hardest parts of trying to make healthier choices, when it comes to what you eat, is the in between meals stage: snacks. To make it easier for you, each week I will bring you a new healthy option for snacking. Popcorn is a great source of whole grains…
Let’s talk business cards
I know I’m in the business of food + nutrition, but I love good design. Side note: If I wasn’t head over heals in love with nutrition + health care, I would’ve loved to go to school for design and open up a stationery shop like urbanic! Anyways, I think everyone needs a good set…
Saturday Snack / 001
I have found that one of the hardest parts of trying to make healthier choices, when it comes to what you eat, is the in between meals stage: snacks. It’s easy to revert to a bag of chips or cookies when it is right there staring you in the face. To make it easier for…
second a day: January
Another “challenge” of ours for 2014 is to capture one second a day on video for the entire year. Our close friends did a photo a day for 2013 and wanted to do something different. They found the 1SE app on their phones and decided to go for recording their daily memories through video instead…
#milechallenge2014 January report

Queen Bean Caffe
I’m a sucker for a good coffee shop-especially local ones. Since moving back from San Diego I’ve been on the hunt for a good local spot. Queen Bean Caffe kept coming up in my instagram feed via some of my friends-so one Monday Trav and I decided to take a drive and check it out….

DIY Lighted Letters
This is a DIY I’ve had on my never ending want-to-DIY list for quite a while. I saw the tutorial from the a beautiful mess girls and I knew I had to crank mine out. This project came together fairly easy, in an afternoon with the help of Travis. I rushed out to get the…
#milechallenge2014
I don’t do well with new years resolutions. I do much better with goals. Specifically measurable goals. On our first hike of 2014, we challenged ourselves to log 100 miles in 2014. We are a pretty active couple and know that this goal will probably be accomplished before the year is over, but we wanted…
T + E decorate a Christmas tree
We have been together for almost five years now and every Christmas we have spent together we have decorated a tree together either at my grandparents house, or Trav’s parents house. This is one of the Christmas traditions I absolutely love. Susan, Travis’ mom, has four or five huge bins full of boxed ornaments. Each…
