We have the world's smartest dog. I kid you not, when Elle sees the camera, she poses. EVERY.TIME. She knows that when you lay on the floor, it means play time. She also know that when you spend long amounts of time in the kitchen, there is food. And she truly believes she is entitled to a human-sized serving of whatever it is (unless it is a pickle or carrot).

I woke up this morning to a message from the wing commander stating that only mission ... View the Post

I'm already craving it again so I think it's going to work it's way back onto the meal plan in the very near future. Drool. You guys know it makes my day when you send me pictures of recipes you've tried from the blog, or any pictures ... View the Post
Things I need to do more often – #6

Despite my regular workout routine, I am starting to notice the post-holiday (mostly due to excessive carb consumption) weight showing up. My pants sort of feel like sausage skin. I initially confounded our German dryer for shrinking them but another thought ... View the Post
