Whole30, Here I Come!

What To Do About That Stinky Gym Bag!
I've got a very sensitive nose and that gym bag... you know? It doesn't matter what sport. I don't need to say anymore, right? When it comes to sweat, and especially sporty boys, that smell in that gym bag is downright nasty. You need to keep on top of it and air it out as much as possible. Even … [Read more...]
Paleo Update
So, after last week's post, musing about the possibility of trying the Paleo diet, I just kind of quietly went for it. I didn't have grandiose dreams of sticking with it for a month, or even a week, but just took it one day, one meal, at a time. I did it. And am still doing it. Here's what I … [Read more...]
