Fresh and Fancy: What happens when you say yes?
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-happens-when-you-say-yes.html
Thursday, April 4, 2013. What happens when you say yes? More and more I am learning to appreciate the life I am living. We have been back in Washington for a wee bit more than four months now, and just within the last few weeks, I feel like I have “woken up” from the fog and fatigue that come with big changes. I was trying to express to a friend the liberation I was feeling and she asked me if I could pinpoint a reason for the change in my mood and outlook. That is no small matter, I assure you. There ar...

Fresh and Fancy: Good Clean Food
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2012/09/good-clean-food.html
Sunday, September 2, 2012. Andy and I have been participating in a six-week challenge at our gym. Most CrossFitters have heard about the "paleo" diet. The two go hand in hand. The first week Andy tried CrossFit he came home telling me he wanted to try a new way of eating. On the off-limit list would be: dairy, grains, sugar, legumes and soy. My reaction was, anything that says you can't eat beans is not healthy. So we tabled the idea. Which just so happens to include this particular theory about food.

Fresh and Fancy: June 2012
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Off to a good start! It turns out that I am a really great starter, but not much of a finisher. I’m disappointed to learn this. Especially since the lesson has been quiet expensive. I probably should have realized it sooner (since Andy has been hinting at it for a while - when I told him what I was writing about he laughed really hard and said, “that’s funny! 8221;) but some truths about ourselves are hard to accept. I just spent a pretty penny on a 24-day diet challenge. After two...

Fresh and Fancy: May 2012
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. I had a bit of a shock this morning as I walked past my front-room window. I was running back into the house for one last thing before driving off to my morning CrossFit class. I did a double take as I neared the door. Please understand, I knew what I was putting on this morning. I knew because every night I look at the workout for the next day and decide what pieces of my workout wear will give me the best chance of success. Skintight capris it is! I can do a pull up. But throug...

Fresh and Fancy: October 2012
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 12, 2012. The Winds of Change. The winds of change have blown through our family yet again. I tried to write about it earlier this morning, but all my words came out emotionally heavy, and that isn't really what I was aiming for. Jesus was so accurate in his summation, "out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." The words that come out of me, written or spoken, often reveal parts of my heart that I forget to attend to, or try to keep hidden. Andy and I are not very good at pomp ...

Fresh and Fancy: January 2013
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 5, 2013. What's Happened in Washington? Exciting things are happening around here. Since we have moved back to Washington, there are a few things (silly, vague word. moments, occasions, thoughts, experiences. nope, just "things" and now I've used it twice. Ugh.) worth noting. Arizona was very hot. Washington feels very cold. I have accomplished my mission of developing a "Washington Uniform.". I got a job. Our house is almost done! I mean, paint colors in my purse close! So be prepared&...

Fresh and Fancy: What Dreams Look Like
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-dreams-look-like.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. What Dreams Look Like. Now that I’ve left you wondering about what these dreams I’m chasing are. It is time for some details. I started writing about them a few days ago and after I got through about four pages of words I thought, “I might need to break this up.”. So, this is the “what it looks like” edition. I hope to share more of the why in the future. But, exciting things are happening around my house that are fun to talk about and fun to share. Yes, it is true. Then, Andy a...

Fresh and Fancy: August 2012
http://freshandfancy.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Our family has become a road trip family, and I love it. Every month we get away for five days or so with just our two boys. Some months we stay in town at a small house that is available to the house parents in our company. But more and more, we have been finding excuses to drive someplace new and get out of the familiar. The trouble with vacations, is that so often they are a beautiful mix of “perfect” and “awful.”. The trouble with blogs, and don’t get me wrong, I am ...
