Realistic Nutrition. Holistic Health. Full Life.
The night of my last exam of the semester we got started on the kitchen. We were having Christmas Eve dinner at our house in 3 days, so we had to get to work quickly. The first step was to remove the sink. The sink itself was nothing special and came out pretty quickly. The... Continue Reading →
Those of you who have graciously followed my blog over the past 5 years may have noticed a few changes. The site has never felt quite right, so every year I try to restructure or reorganize, hoping to fix that thing I just can’t put my finger on. Well, I think I am one step... Continue Reading →
Mid-July we decided to spend a little time improving the Master Bedroom. From the original bedroom post you can see that the paint was a huge improvement, but the old-lady ceiling fan just wasn't cutting it. We are cheap, so we refused to replace a working fan. Thankfully, the something went wrong with the... Continue Reading →
Mid-October J and I decided it was time to remodel the kitchen. The guy who owned the place before thought he was handier than he actually was - there were holes in the walls, old pipes capped and sticking out of the walls, and homemade plywood cabinets. I'm sure you can see from the pictures... Continue Reading →
Friday was J's birthday. After celebrating, Saturday we got busy preparing for our first ever cabinet installation. Neither of us had done this before and we were both very excited to see the results. Jason spent the past two weeks preparing the cabinets (sanding, staining, clear coat). This was supposed to be the easy installation... Continue Reading →

The project started over my spring break when we... Continue Reading →

That's what the authors of a recent study published online in the journal Atherosclerosis suggest. The LA Times ran an article yesterday. At first glance that article made me think twice about the morning egg scrambler* I was about to make. After reading the full-text of the original article, the fear subsided and I went...

That is right...a new study in the American Journal of Gastroenterology found that Celiac Disease is 4x more common now than 50 years ago. When you hear statistics like this you must remember that it is hard to say if it is more common, or if more people are being diagnosed. Either way, the prevalence of people... Continue Reading →
This was by far the best 1 hour project we have done yet. I picked up a package of 1'x1' sticky tiles to improve the grandma-like entry way that we inherited. The entryway was one of those things that we just ignored. It was super ugly, but we got used to it and... Continue Reading →
