A Review Of Packaged Keto Snacks (And What I Eat Instead)
I’ve been keto since 2017 and recently I’ve been noticing more and more “keto” labeled snacks pop up on standard grocery store aisles. I usually ignore these offerings because in my past experiences, they were not actually keto. Continue reading “A Review Of Packaged Keto Snacks (And What I Eat Instead)”
The Month Of Snow: January 2023 Recap

The Month Of Maine: September 2022 Recap
And just like that, it was fall 🙂 . I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season. It’s definitely more pleasant to run in, I’m enjoying the warmth of tea in my belly and a fluffy blanket on my lap when I (inevitably) read a book in one sitting. Consider me a changed woman 🙂 . So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!
The Month Of New Hampshire: August 2022 Recap
2022 continues to pass by with the speed of a bullet train. I guess I’m having too much fun 😉 . This month we continued our exploration of the northeast – we like to come here in the summer if possible since it’s cooler than other parts of the country. We started by saying “hi!” to family in New York State and then moved further east. So let’s see what I got up to!
