Welcome!

Welcome to our maiden voyage! If you've come over from Have My Cake, thanks for following us! And if you're new, thanks for checking us out!

My name is Tami and I love to write. I'm a wife, a momma to a little girl who lights up the world, 2 crazy dogs, and a sneaky cat. I'm a veteran. I love healthy food and healthy living. I'm an athlete. I care about the environment. I love to create things. Six out of seven days you'll see me dancing though the living room window. When I'm not managing the circus that is my home, I work with teenage girls in crisis and I help lead an after school program centered on healing through altruism. And I'm a personal trainer.

I believe it is important not to take yourself seriously…at all, to find joy in the ordinary, to live with purpose and to laugh…mostly at myself. I'm a big over sharer, so in following us you'll likely learn more than you ever wanted to know about me. Actually, you will learn the raw truth…about everything.

Welcome to the ride.

A few of the blogs I read on the reg, have done some of these taking stock posts. A fresh way of documenting what's happening right at this moment, with just a few words.

Currently I am…

Making: Springy leaf headbands.
Cooking: A lot of new vegan inspired dishes.
Drinking: Wine. Kidding…... Not really.
Wanting: A new camera.
Looking: At the website G Adventures, for an exciting trip for PJ and I to take.
Reading: The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory. I started this book during my final month of pregnancy and I just now find myself with a few spare minutes to pick it back up and continue reading it.
Wasting: Coffee. Sweet delicious coffee. Not because I want to. Because every time I pour myself a cup, something comes up or a living creature needs me, and I never get to drink it.
Trusting: That I'm doing a good job (fingers crossed).
Wishing: My laundry would do itself. And my little dog would stop crapping wherever he pleases.
Enjoying: Friends. I love my girlfriends.
Waiting: To sleep a full night.
Liking: ePantry. We get natural cleaning products delivered to us as we need them. It's amazingly convenient!
Wondering: How much longer I can sustain life, without a full night's sleep.
Loving: The weather. Hello spring. Please stay a while.
Hoping: I don't smudge my fresh nail polish.
Marveling: At how amazing it is to watch a tiny person grow.
Needing: A haircut and a manicure.
Anticipating: A girls weekend away coming up the first weekend of June.
Contemplating: A tiny piece of body art.
Smelling: A fresh espresso roast coffee.
Wearing: Grey leggings and a lime green tank.
Following: Loosely my training plan. I have good intentions, but I swear it is so hard to plan anything these days. I've been squeezing in runs right after putting Aria to bed, in the last hour before the sun goes down.
Noticing: Strength training is doing a lot for my post partum bod!
Knowing: That I possibly have the best dogs on the planet.
Thinking: About setting up a cute little desk nook in our house. I want to find a small old table to paint and use.
Exploring: Veganism.
Bookmarking: Bridal Shower Ideas for my sisters shower.
Opening: An Etsy shop! More info to come!!!
Giggling: At my dog farting.
Feeling: Overwhelmed but happy.

Have a great day!
