I’m still here, I promise. I honestly had no intention of going MIA for 10 days, but that’s what happened. I’m kinda-sorta in a blogging funk. Heck, I’m in a general funk. All I want to do is sleep! Even though work isn’t too busy (though it will be soon since a coworker just resigned),…

Summer Highlights + Looking Forward to Fall
I’m beyond glad that today is Tuesday. Yesterday was one of those Mondays I just did not want to get out of bed—and then it all went downhill once I got to work. I’ll save the story for Friday’s pregnancy update, but let’s just say our new benefits administrator nearly sent me into pre-term labor…
September Blogging Challenge: Goals & Accomplishments
I don’t think it’s a big secret that I’m in a bit of a blogging slump. Ok, more like a blogging abyss. To counteract that and diversify my content—and hopefully learn how to type a blog post that’s less than 500 words (I’m wordy, ok?!)—I’m going to participate in Gracie’s September Blogging Challenge. Since we’re…
All About Hydration
It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized the importance of hydration. My love affair with water began as a way to limit my “boredom snacking” at work; stuck at my computer, I’d always get a hankering for chips, sweets, and less healthy foods. To help keep my stomach full, I kept refillable…
Meal Plan Monday 04.21.14
In an effort to prove that I actually do cook (well, that Mark cooks while I “supervise”), I thought I’d start sharing some of our meal plans. This probably won’t be a weekly thing—but since we spent half our life savings a good bit of money at the grocery this past Saturday (we hadn’t been…
Tropical Storm Karen: Ain’t Nobody Got Time for Her!
It’s the first weekend in October—which should be exciting—but the weather is leaving little to be desired. Stupid Tropical Storm Karen! She’s only the second named storm to “threaten” the States this year, and of course she has to fall on the weekend. The weekend when I should be enjoying sunshine, cool(er) breezes, and any…
National IPA Day + Blogiversary!
Although I actually created foodiEcology on July 28, 2012, I didn’t post my first entry until August 1st, so today is my unofficial 1-year blogiversary! I can’t believe I’ve been blogging this long. I feel like foodiEcology is still struggling to find its identity in the vast food/healthy living/lifestyle/fitness web-world, but I’m pretty proud of…
Crockpot Challenge #1: French Onion Soup
Since Mark and I have historically used our slow cooker for only one dish (red beans and rice), I decided it would be fun to participate in the Peanut Butter Fingers Crockpot Challenge. By March, I hope to have tried at last 10 new recipes utilizing this wonderful piece of equipment. Last Sunday, we enjoyed…
Bittersweet Weekend
This morning as I sloshed through the puddles and held tightly to my umbrella, I made the decision to laugh instead of curse my “misfortune.” If having wet pants for an hour and a head full of frizzy hair are the greatest of my worries today, then I’d say I’m doing pretty well. Each time…
Snuffy the Snow(wo)man
This is precisely how I felt today. [source] It’s humid and warm outside, and, of course, our new stairs in the office aren’t finished. In fact, they’ve begun to paint them. While we sit inside. With almost no ventilation. While playing terrible music! First it was the sprinkler fiasco, then it was the broken air…
