So I have officially made the decision to begin The Certified Nutritionist Consultant Program at the Natural Healing Institute of Naturopathy.

It was just like Christmas morning last week when a giant package showed up on our doorstep from US Wellness Meats! Check these beauties out! My personal favorite is the giant tongue.

It's pretty rare that I have a Sunday at home, but when I do, and it's raining out, we ALWAYS go to Costco... and believe it or not, it can be really fun. It just takes the right company, the right mindset, and the right knowledge of what the heck to buy and how to get [...]
