Merry Christmas

We had a busy Christmas trying to see all of our families for the holidays. We managed pretty well, but to be honest I am always a bit relieved when its over and I can settle back into my house and my comfortable routine. Just a few more days until its 2014. . . i can't believe it.

our puppy is born on Christmas Eve !

kinda creepy looking, but i think he's cute!

I feel so blessed to be surrounded by people that love me unconditionally this holiday season. The amazing gifts i received don't' hurt either ;)

I begin a long stretch of overnight shifts through the new year. So i will be spending the end of 2013 with my patients, which i don't mind at all.

Hope everybody has a Happy New Year! 

Life Lately

went into the ditch

fixing my flat tire

attending yoga 3 times a week

dinner dates

With the holiday season we all have been quite busy, including me. I have been lucky enough to find my calmness among the chaos in a yoga class. 

I am so excited to spend time with family, relax, have a few days off from work and enjoy the christmas season. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

^^ I am loving the audio in this video. If you listen close enough you can hear a raven chirping the entire time in the background. It always amazes me the variety of videos, models, plots, and overall themes of these short clips.  And i can never believe how much Anna Ewers looks like a blonde Rachel Bilson.

 Thoughts?

Buy Local

Recently my hometown got a new restaurant. They buy their ingredient's local and organic. They are a huge supporter of being green and eliminate their waste via compost and other environmentally safe ways to discard trash.

The menu has such a variety.

I got Pyrohi. It is a dumpling/ pirogi style dish. It is filled with a potatoes filling and sauerkraut, this style is actually a Ukrainian dish.

^^ SO GOOD!

To drink I had "easy being green" a delicious blend of spinach, lemon, mint, kale, and green apple.


I think it is so important to support local small businesses. To have these types of places in your community is such a blessing.

Not to mention the amazing health benefits of eating and drinking green and organic.

Eating here as inspired me to due my major grocery shopping at our whole foods co-op.

I also indulged in one of their organic smoothies the other morning before work. Pb &J : almond butter, almond milk, raspberry jam and grapes. It was an excellent breakfast, you can always add chia or flax seed if you need something to fill you up for longer.

Since eating healthier, I have noticed increased energy, happier mood & reduction in aches and pains in my body.

You may pay a little more, but it makes sense, its quality food that is going to nourish your body.

Buy local. Support your community. Become a healthier you.
