Daily life and travel with food and cupcakes as a common theme.
Watching Alton Brown on the Food Network makes me kitchen-conscience. Immediately when he starts on about unitaskers, I mentally go through a check list in the kitchen of how many one function designated items I have left. I’ve been actively vetting all my kitchen wares for the past year.
Kitchen Timer- I like timers with loud [...]

Admittedly, I get myself worked into a frenzy when there are harvestable items in Arizona. I don’t want to hash out old news, but for those of you who have visited my blog from time to time, you’ll recall my citrus bandit phase this past spring.
I’m trying to control it, but it is prickly pear [...]

Do you prefer the sunrises or the sunsets? I’m a morning person, but I don’t necessarily like sunrises. I’m defiantly not a night person, but I love sunsets. Typically I’m up early on the weekends, in the kitchen, on my computer, drinking coffee and mentally putting my day together.
What I do on a weekend morning [...]

A few weeks ago I made it downtown to see a screening of a documentary called Handmade Nation, a complimentary film to the book by the same name from Fayth Levine. For me the film made me think about the difference between crafters, makers and artists.

We have the capacity to make change. My little sister’s favorite saying is from Ghandi; “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Last year, I decided to integrate a theme into my blog on ways I can reduce, reuse recycle. It was last year at this time that I spent a week [...]

At least four other people rode their bikes to work today. So, in the grand scheme of things, it’s not monumental that I rode my bike to work today, but in my little world it was super exciting. And what was more exciting than that was that I rode it to work toting my [...]

One of my favorite Phoenix blogs is Lunch Bucket Bento. Lisa and crew are a bento toting, Daring Baking group. A few times a week, she posts snapshots of what I believe are the coolest lunches in town. Sometimes her posts are a simple list of what was packed and other times, she shares simple, [...]

The theme around my office is that 2008 is going to be 200GR8 and I like the sound of that! I know to start the year off I need a green recalibration. So, where I was a true shade of green through the fall, I turned kinda mint green through the holiday.
The busy hustle of [...]
Grand plans. I had grand green plans for this Christmas. I was going to make eco-friendly presents for my friends and family. I was able to find a few very cool prezzies, but I can’t disclose them yet. BUT what I can do is send out a little reminder that one easy quick win to [...]

Comfort zone. Doesn’t it feel good to get outside of it?
On Thursday, I rode the city bus to work. A bus ride for me, is usually coupled with an overseas vacation. I can honestly say that I have not been on a public bus as a matter of living my everyday life ever.The rental car [...]
