I will let you know which links are affiliate links. I will set up all links to open in a new window so you can continue through the post without losing your spot! First, Read more
One thing that is hard to find gluten free is soft pretzels. Sure, they have frozen options. I’ve tried several and they were all meh. Nothing that made me go, ohhhh I will buy this again! And I’ve never seen a gf option at a restaurant. I had kinda given up in ever having a soft pretzel again. Until Mom’s Place Gluten Free sent me a package for March’s Nourished Festival. I saved them for Read more

In 2021, the backbone fire ripped through parts of Coconino National Forest, including Fossil Creek. Fossil Creek is home to the waterfall trail which was destroyed. Wildfires are devastating. They destroy beautiful landscapes that take years, sometimes generations, to recover. The waterfall trail is a short, easy hike that ends at a gorgeous… waterfall (didn’t see that one coming, huh? 🤣) After wildfires, areas like Fossil Creek are more at risk for flash floods. The Read more
I’m heading into taper time. The marathon is less than a week away. How am I getting ready? Well, I’m making a list and checking it twice. I want to have everything set so all I have to do is get up, eat, and run. And run. And run some more. I need to finalize my route. I need about 10 more miles from the route I’ve been doing for long runs. Deciding on which Read more
Do you consider baking self-care? Or is trying new foods considered self-improvement? If so, I’ve done a little of both this week! I usually find baking to be a fun hobby. Except when a gluten-free recipe doesn’t turn out but that’s a whole other story! Usually, baking something is a fun way to relax. Usually, I don’t eat (or drink) anything pumpkin because I am not a fan of pumpkin spice, which is always in Read more
Who else struggles to keep up with your goals? I’m sure I am not the only one. As we work through September, let’s fall back into goals! We still have plenty of time to make some great gains or even reach our goals! Take a moment to think about where you are in your goals for the year. How far along are you? Are there any adjustments you want to make? Are you like me Read more
September is self-improvement month. It’s also a good time to “fall” back into your goals. A few months ago we talked about a goal refresh. Have you stuck to those goals or, like me, have you gotten a little off track? I find it’s helpful to review your goals every few months. Since we are all about self-improvement this month, let’s take some time to recommit to those goals and take care of ourselves. What Read more
July was a tough month for me. I couldn’t focus enough to read. It happens sometimes. I was only able to finish one very short book and one average book. I decided to not post a July blog and combine it with August. The Photographic Story by David duChemin Summary: A short read that breaks down photographs to help you tell a better story. Each chapter covers an element of storytelling, provides examples, and gives Read more
What kind of gluten-free/celiac blogger never logs about food? It me. I’ve been a little behind on the food front. I have a ton of things I need and want to make! I have a ton of mixes I was sent and I need to make and review. I just haven’t been feeling like baking much after my last disaster. But I finally made a plan to start working through my mixes with one a Read more
