Last weekend I had the THRILL of visiting the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in Poolesville, MD for their annual Thanksgiving WITH The Turkeys celebration.
It was AWESOME!
I got to meet the turkeys
And even pet them:
This turkey’s name is Opal and she was rescued from a factory farm, barely alive. Her feet are mangled so she cannot [...]

Well I have to admit that my little idea of refraining from eating sweets for a week has been a complete and utter failure! I think I lasted about one day!!

Favorite non-dairy milk? Homemade vanilla almond milk.
What are the top 3 dishes/recipes you are planning to cook? Rice and beans (a staple at my home), scrambled tofu (we have this every week!), and Crispy Cajun [...]
D. and I have a problem in bed.
HA! No…not THAT. I’m talking about the fact that I am a Reader and he is Not a Reader.
I LOVE to read before I go to sleep.
I like to climb into bed and read for about 1/2 hour or so until I get so sleepy that I turn [...]
There are certain things in life that you know are good for you.
And there are certain things that you know are good for you AND you happen to enjoy them as well.
Let’s call these things “Healthy and Good.”
My list of Healthy and Good include eating healthy food, taking the pups on long walks, playing my [...]
