I absolutely hated gardening when I was a kid.
This past weekend was busy, but fairly productive.
Ryan and I had back-to-back parties on Saturday afternoon/ evening, and we spent all day yesterday getting as much cleaning done as possible.
Late April is always a lot of work around the house for us. I know a lot of people focus on spring cleaning (and we’re definitely not an exception), but for us, it’s also time for us to prepare for the potential upending of our lives: aka fire season.
In addition to getting all the deep cleaning done (it’s SO nice to come home to a clean house after a 16-plus-hour day), we do quite a bit to prepare for the unexpected wildfires that completely uproot our household.
A lot of that includes food. As much as I always try to do grocery shopping and meal prepping year-round on Sunday nights to prepare for busy office days and studio nights throughout the work week, I become absolutely militant about it during fire season.
I get very hangry very easily, so knowing I have a few healthy meals at the ready is one less thing to worry about when work beckons.
So with that said — my Sundays now focus on cleaning, running errands and prepping food for the week.
Here’s everything I ate yesterday while doing all of the above.
The Flagstaff highs are pushing 70 degrees all!
Summer is still a looong way off in the high country, but I’ve been dreaming.
And part of that dreaming is… ogling swimwear.
More grain bowls!
This past winter was mild. So, so very mild. I think we only had three snowfalls?
So, it seems a little premature to get excited about warm weather adventures, but… here we are!
It’s been a month since Ryan and I spontaneously adopted our husky pup Ochi from the Maricopa County animal shelter system, and what a month it’s been!
Namaste friends, it’s time for the next step in my yoga teaching career! This past weekend, I paid my deposit and reserved my spot in a month-long 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program in Rishikesh Uttarakhand: the BIRTHPLACE OF YOGA in the HIMALAYAN FOOTHILLS in northern INDIA!
To say I am excited is an UNDERSTATEMENT!
Preventing single-use plastic waste with the Azulita Project at the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival
Anyone who knows me knows that single-use plastics are one of my biggest pet peeves.
No joke — a few years ago at Friendsgiving, we were playing “Taboo.” My friend Lauren drew a card and-
Lauren: “Oooo, OOO! The thing Randi hates!”
Everyone at the table, all at once: “PLASTIC!”
So, when I discovered the Azulita Project, a Flagstaff-based non-profit focused on reducing single-use plastics, I was SO on board.
I’m already way, way behind on my reading for the year, yikes.
Ryan and I are back home from our quick weekend trip down to central Arizona to visit Arcosanti: A destination I’ve been wanting to visit for a while!
