30 days of No Sugar
For our May 30 day challenge we invited our friends to join us in giving up added sugar for a month. Honestly, I didn’t think it would be that difficult, we already ate a diet that didn’t consist of much added sugar.

Washington, D.C. with the Trimbles
My 28th birthday was by far the strangest birthday I’ve ever had. We were traveling back from D.C., I didn’t have cake, and I went to bed while it was still daylight.

Sugar, it’s over.
Wellness Mama does an excellent job of thoroughly explaining the harmful effects of sugar. I love a challenge, particularly a food challenge. We are blessed to be able to make choices regarding the foods we eat. I’m done with sugar. Today my Mom said, “Amber I stopped eating sugar…you inspire me with your will power.” Oh my lawd. If I’m unknowingly inspiring people, I better
Easter Weekend: Harrisonburg, VA
Our first road trip with a baby. Thankfully, G napped and was super chill the whole time. The drive to Virginia was a slow one, there are no direct interstate routes from Durham. Page has road rage,but managed to make our drive only slightly terrifying. I have several irrational fears, most of the time I feel like death is imminent in the car. I normally calm
