Well, we have made it two whole days now on the whole30 and so far so good. Here are a few things I am learning/observing so far. -I like to cook! It isn’t that I haven’t cooked in the past, it’s just that the whole meal planning/”what sounds good to you?” thing has been overwhelming to me in the past. With so many options, I
It’s been a while. If you are still reading, bless your dear heart! I am here. I feel like a broken record that has been left to repeating itself for months on end; but in all sincerity I am here, I adore each of you who choose to check back in and in a little while, I’ll have more to offer you than just the

It’s February 23rd and it is officially frigid outside. The fact that my toes began to lose feeling approximately 2 mins after being outdoors, even tucked into my normally warm Sorel boots, tells me that we’ve hit a low here in Michigan. I’m not sure why I always expect February to show signs of winter passing, because every. single. year. My expectations are crippled, as
Perspective. There is always, ALWAYS something to be grateful for. Like many of your homes, the Hoffman household has faced the flu season head on this year.

I’m reminded how the ungrateful tendencies of my heart are quick to surface and slow
Today is one of those days, where I’m not quite sure where to begin. I have so many things swirling around in my heart and mind, I feel like a kid in a candy store, unable to focus long enough to make my prized selections.

You know those last few moments before you drift off to sleep? Your mind is switching gears, slowing down and preparing to re-energize. Sometimes, not very often, it happens to me in those moments that my mind rests in a memory. My eyes are closed, body relaxed and suddenly I am back in my childhood.
