Building Soils Naturally – Book Review

Building Soils Naturally

Growing up we always had a garden.  I remember as a child going up to my grandmothers and working the ground getting it ready for planting.  It was hard work, but there always was a sense of satisfaction every summer eating freshly picked veggies from the garden.  I wish that I had paid more attention to what she was trying to teach me but when you are 9 years old it was just a thrill to see the garden growing,  [ Read More ]

Revolt Now Fitness

The first week of the June Revolt Now Fitness Uprising happened on my vacation.  After last week being a complete bust for me, I was determined to make the best of it even if I was on vacation. The great thing about the Revolt program is that it travels with you. I had my laptop so I was able to do the workout at the hotel.  This week we did Tabata’s.  I was able to do these in the comfort  [ Read More ]

Revolt Now Fitness – Week 5

Revolt Now Fitness

Week 5 was a complete bust for me.  I spent the week getting ready for our vacation.  I spent much of my time getting ready to leave on vacation the next week.  Between cleaning the house and doing the outside yard work and a couple trips in town meant that I didn’t always pick the right foods to eat.  I had fast food from the local burger joint twice and missed a workout. In the past, when I had weeks  [ Read More ]

Revolt Now Fitness – Week 4

Revolt Now Fitness

I must apologize now for the late posts, summer and vacation got away with me.  I don’t have my stats to share with you right now.  I had them written down but my paper has gone missing, I think a certain toddler may have taken it for a colouring sheet… Week 4 -  I loosely followed the diet plan.  As you can tell, I haven’t followed the plan exactly to date, but I use it as guideline to help me  [ Read More ]

Rock and Rita’s – Las Vegas

All too often a restaurant only gets negative comments spread through word of mouth. Our dinner at Rock & Rita’s tonight was worth saying spreading a good word. When we arrived at the entrance, we were greeted by two young ladies, one of whom showed us to a table. The steaing was comfortable, there was no abundance of noise so we could hold a conversation quite easily, and the decor was whimsical (LOVED their take on the painting “american gothic”  [ Read More ]

We’ve landed in Las Vegas!

vegas

Sorry for the late post!  I’ve been having some serious site issues that I can’t seem to get resolved.  But I will post when I can! We arrived in Las Vegas yesterday evening.  It was a long flight, but it’s so nice to just get away! We flew United Airlines.  The tickets were cheaper than Air Canada, but the flights were much more uncomfortable.  The staff was fantastic.  We didn’t have seats together for one part of the flight and  [ Read More ]
