Homemade Toothpaste!

What we didn’t know about becoming vegetarians, is that Bethany and I would become more and more health conscious than we have ever been. Becoming vegetarians has opened our minds to the benefits of raw foods, healthy living AND the dangers of processed foods, chemicals, and pesticides. If I can eliminate a chemical from my life, I will. About a month ago …

¡Sprouting!

Last week I tried my hand at sprouting for the first time. It was surprisingly easy and really fun! I know that there are jars and lids made for sprouting, but who wants to buy all that?

Day 3, Tuesday – Paris

What can I say about day 3 in Paris? It was wonderful! We took over 520 photos in that day alone! We started off the day with a long walk to the Orsay. When we got there the line was sooooo long, even for museum pass holders, that we decided to hit up the Orsay …
