Homemade Almond Milk – Take 1!

I recently was introduced to the blog Oh She Glows, specifically regarding a delicious homemade almond milk recipe. I've been wanting to try it out ever since we got a vitamix and this recipe seemed like the perfect inspiration! We got all the items, soaked the almonds and whipped up some almond milk. Here's what I …

The first week recap: it was a struggle

I would love to have lots of amazing things to say about the success of my grandiose plans for getting up early, exercising and focusing on minimalism. Unfortunately, it hasn't been a wild success on my part. Last week, I joined the YMCA in Norman but haven't gone yet. (Boo.) I was able to get …

A 4:45am life change

I might regret communicating this in public later. But I definitely want to keep myself accountable and this could be the best way to do that. I need to start working out. I mean, you don't just ride 190 miles without training right?! But when can you exercise?! I don't have the time, at least …

The Pan-Mass Challenge

I am SO excited to be participating in this year's Pan-Mass Challenge. I am joining my best friend, Morgan, in this incredible event to fundraise for cancer research. We have signed up for the 2-day 190 mile (yes, one hundred and ninety mile) bike ride across Massachusetts. We are each raising $4,500 (I am pleased …

A California Reminder: Earth Deli in Norman

Coming from California one of the things we've missed the most is farm fresh, local food (and, to some degree, health food in general). We've had to hunt for foods, stores and shops that have a little taste of home. Some of our best finds have been Grey Owl Coffee, the farmer's markets in Edmond/OKC/Norman, …

This Week’s Meals at the Vintage Vista

I've decided to post our meal planning strategy for each week (when we get to it!). Meal planning is so intimidating but it SAVES us. We do so much better when we are strategizing and buying the right ingredients. It cuts down on waste, allows us to do more home cooking and choose healthy options. …

Herbal Bliss

Yesterday, we brought home the newest member of the Huron Clan! Yes, that is thyme in our cup holder in the car. We have a variety of herbs already but decided to get a thyme plant because it was A) cheaper than the dried herbs (which can be as much as $10...) and B) will …

Sitting is Killing You

I have definitely succeeded at researching enough articles regarding the disadvantages of sitting vs the benefits of standing and how to be more productive with the hours in my day. I am now re-targeted with so many articles regarding these things that I can barely keep up. And, of course, I read every single one. …

Coffee Snobs Anonymous

I am definitely not, by definition, a coffee snob. I have a drip coffee machine and have had to succumb to the dreaded pre-ground coffee these last few weeks as we settled in to our new home. But I do have a deep appreciation for genuinely delicious coffee. As one of my previous supervisors (and …

Last week, we had a great day at home on the polar vortex day! I made a list and we crossed just about everything off of it. We did some drawing, lots of dancing to music, and made some banana muffins for snack time. Can’t wait for our next day of adventures ❤️
