Family, 30 day challenges, future full-timers
Better Bean Company is a family owned company with a mission to, “get you to eat more beans.” They use organic and sustainable ingredients. Their beans are ready to heat and eat. Their mantra is, “for the love of beans.” When I contacted Co-founder, Hannah, about sponsoring us during our vegan challenge. She happily sent me many of their unique varieties that Better Bean has to
Well, we didn’t just give up Facebook. For the past 30 days we haven’t used any social media(unless blog related,) or watched any videos. We haven’t spent time on mindless sites, or playing video games. We don’t know what the latest thing to go viral is, or the impending doom lurking around the corner. For the month of August, Page, myself, and a group of
If your first thought is, “oh, hell nah.” Keep reading, at least for a couple more paragraphs. This month’s challenge stems from the fact that I am so curious about the benefits of a plant based diet.

Yebo, a positive affirmation, or “yes” is used throughout South Africa. When I told Page we were going to try Yebo Bars.

“That’s it. We’re moving to Italy so I can perfect my pizza crust .” Can someone tell me why I have to travel 15 minutes to get a pizza made with organic ingredients? Last night we wanted a pizza. In order to stay on my, “organic food is better for you” pedestal, I try to adhere to the advice I give people. Well, we didn’t have
I accidentally started an online bakery. Why accidentally? I just happen to have a “green thumb” in the kitchen. And while I can’t have you all over for dinner, I can bring the best part (dessert) to you. So in order for you to get a taste of our kitchen, let me bake cookies for you. Why I bake? While I generally limit my sugar,
Since giving up social media isn’t challenging(this is sarcasm) enough we are also giving up: videos, videogames, and mindless time wasting sites. Here are some of the sites that we aren’t viewing for our August Challenge: All social media: Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. Whatever else kids are into these days. News sites: CNN, Fox News, Drudgereport, etc. Entertainment sites: Reddit, Buzzfeed, Mashable Other: Youtube *Exception* If
After May’s Sugar challenge, we were ready for a non-food challenge. We wondered what it would look like if everyone in our group committed 30 minutes every day for month to learning one thing. Our one thing was coding for our blog. We chose coding because we knew it would be helpful to be able to make simple changes to our blog. I also wanted
