The original plan for our January adventure involved large amounts of salty air (not from the beach, unfortunately, but from Antelope Island) and plenty of outdoors time for all three of us, but the real January adventure ended up involving large amounts of really, really old bones and some pretty delicious gluten-free fare at a …
As I mentioned in my blog post about my new year’s resolutions, I’m trying out a new project this year that’s meant to reignite my passion for cooking (which has severely petered down the last several months due to all the dietary changes I’ve been making). There’s a theory that says that you need to …
Thanks to the habit I started in November of reading about 40 pages on most days (by reading ten pages of four different books a day), I got a decent number of books finished before the year petered out. I thought I’d pass along a few of my thoughts since I know that many of …

BUT! Today—today I have joyful news to share with …
Partly due to my failure to complete any of my resolutions last year and partly due to all that I’ve learned and postulated about habits vs. goals in the past few years, I’m doing my new year’s resolutions a little bit differently in 2016. After much informal research (aka, me learning by trial and error), …
With all the valuable lessons I learned last year, you’d think I would have crushed my new year’s resolutions for 2015. Well, not exactly. Actually, I didn’t complete a single one.
