Nix the Pancake Mix

by Sabrena January 19, 2012

We’re more than half-way through January. I have almost worked through the last of the snowman sugar cookies stashed in my freezer which means a couple of things: The holidaze have come and gone I’m most likely looking fat-tastic (that is not actually a good thing) It’s time to start my New Year’s Resolutions Wait, [...]

Earth Friendly Christmas Cheer

by Sabrena December 15, 2011

With the countdown to Christmas approaching single digits tomorrow, chances are that at this point you’re not obsessing about how to make things more eco-friendly (that’s not a judgment, just an educated guess). Life has a sneaky way of trumping altruism, but there’s still time to make green choices before the Fat Man descends down [...]

by Sabrena November 17, 2011

Thanksgiving is just a week away. And while the holidays often seem choc full of consumerism and wastefulness, Turkey Day is one holiday with plenty of easy and accessible ways to Go Green.

Remember the ‘cool house’ that gave out full-size candy bars on Hallow’s Eve?

Family Fun at the Farmers Market

by Sabrena June 16, 2011

I used to be funny. No seriously, when I was chunkier, single and a lot more self deprecating – you might have even said I was “a hoot.” (For proof, I dare you to check out this little ditty).

Green Thumbs & Dirty Fingernails

by Sabrena May 19, 2011

I’ve got dirty fingernails. I’m sorry, I know we just met. Is that too much information? But seriously, this time of year my nails seem to be in constant need of some face-time with a manicurist. But I don’t really consider it a problem; it’s more of a blessing. Because this time of year is [...]
