Just returned from my honeymoon in Nicaragua! A non-traditional honeymoon destination, I went on this trip seeking peace and relaxation.
Landing in Managua reminded me of landing anywhere in Mexico, with lots of green trees and patches of farmland. It also looked just like Belize, where I spent the last summer on an archaeological project. The trees looked the same but in Belize the locals speak English, not Spanish. I hoped I could remember enough Spanish to get by. Continue reading
Though when cooked outside of the turkey it’s called dressing, Thanksgiving stuffing is one of my favorite Thanksgiving foods! Here is a recipe for my favorite Thanksgiving Stuffing.

My woodsy paradise is located just two hours away from each Seattle and Portland. Elma, Washington is a sleepy, small town.We get to go camping there by the river just about as often as we can.
Once we drive through the gate and down the overgrown trails to the campsite, I am overwhelmed with the beauty and silence of the forest. Every time I go here I feel like my heart has been begging for the stillness and peace that you can’t find near a city. Continue reading
Organizing your closet can be a hassle. Placing clothes on and off hangers can take tons of time and seem pointless. Hanging clothes shouldn’t take up the majority of your morning, there’s an easier way to hang your clothes and enjoy them all.
I am a huge fan of anything that makes my life easier. I institute systems into my household to make chores like dishes and laundry easier. I have an elaborate system of washing, drying and hanging my clothes based on their fabric types and style. Continue reading
Fall and winter cold season is upon us! Every time I start to feel sick, I remember that garlic is one of the best ways to avoid it. Ever since my friend told me eating raw garlic was the best way to cure a cold almost 7 years ago, this has been my go-to method of medication. I spread the word as often as I can and those brave enough to believe me are blessed with a healthy, cold-free winter. Put down the antibiotics, and pick up a clove of garlic!

Put it in a spoon and swallow it with a glass of water the same way you would a vitamin. Continue reading
