For a variety of reasons, I’ve recently gone vegan. Gluten free too. It’s been a long time coming and so far I feel amazing, even though I’m still trying to figure out what on earth I can eat. Up to this point its been a lot of protein bars and fruit shakes, but I’m having fun trying new vegan dishes here and there.

I can’t wait to sit down and fully detail what I’d love to make happen in 2012. I checked a lot of things off my Life List in 2011, and I plan to do even more in 2012. But let’s start…

Happy new year! It’s 2012 and we’re all still alive! Barely. How are you feeling today? I’m bleary eyed and ready to head back to bed, but that’s not really helping anyone is it?

I usually keep it pretty basic,…

Turns out I had a pinched nerve in my neck and a bunch of dislocated ribs. Oh hooray! Thanks Lupus, I sure do love weeks like that. I lie. Anyway, there’s a lot of cool stuff being pumped out around the web so I’m…

Many of you know my graphic designer Alma Loveland and her amazing work. She’s seriously ridiculous. By which I mean totally, completely, amazingly talented. And Alma’s given me another few reasons to love her even more than I already do {practically impossible in every way!}. For starters, Alma has designed a whole batch of holiday card templates for $15. Did you catch that? FIFTEEN BUCKS will get you a template to do whatever you please for all your holiday cards….

I don’t think there’s anything better than a home made Christmas. Really. Anytime I receive a home made anything during the holidays I’m so grateful someone has taken the time to make something personal and give it to me. Moi. Yours truly.

So to help you along in your gift making {and gift giving!} I’ve rounded…
