Vegan here we come....

So, I have been trying to pull together the Vegan Challenge page. As you can see it is up and running. However, I will be adding more over there. More information, ideas, links, etc.

One of the resources I added was http://foodgawker.com/post/category/vegan/.
This site is like a food only Pinterest! Don't say I didn't warn you. I can get addicting!

Many of you have said you are interested in my Vegan journey. I'll be sure to detail it for you all. It should be entertaining. Anytime I try to cook new things, it gets entertaining. Who knows, maybe I will be a better vegan cook than a regular cook.

Little Man and my husband will not be taking this on with me. However, most of Little Mans lunches are vegan already. Yes, he takes chickpeas and such for protein in his lunch. He loved the Vegan Chili that I made a while back. But, they will be taste testing and doing some vegan meals with me. I won't cook two meals every single night.

Things will be interesting around here -- that's for sure! So, I hope you enjoy the rambles on this from time to time, as well as the recipes.

Organization...

I will be speaking the end of March for a few days at a local Mom's group on this topic. I plan on sharing some organization tips on here in the future. What areas of organization do you want me to cover? Chime in and help me plan my future posts. :)

I am in the midst of planning my next project--our garage! It so needs it (in my eyes). This is my husbands domain, but I told him that I needed to get my hands on it to keep it functional for him, but make it look better and keep the chaos controlled in there. This is an upcoming project for me. Our garage will be functional, organized and as pretty as a garage can get when I am done. Well that is the plan anyway. :) File folder with ideas has been started...

Speaking of organization, has anyone checked out the new show? The Amandas

Getting a Vegan Challenge page ready...

Behind the scenes I am working on a page that will have food ideas, links for helping you on this journey. I want to make sure that I am supporting anyone who is taking this journey with me. Meal ideas, links to help you, etc.  So, once I have a good bit of information on this page, I will be sure to get it out there for all of you.

We are less than a week away from this challenge and I am looking forward to this....

Beautiful Song...

Lead Me Not sure if I have posted this before, but I love this song. Simply beautiful. Enjoy!
Here is the story behind it... Link here...

I do share my faith on here (knowing some may love it--others not so much), but I ran across something that I wanted to share in reference to that, so read the following poem.

Poem

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way”

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble -
needing God to be my guide

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak
and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed
and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible
but God believes I’m worth it

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache
which is why I seek His name

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved

Valentine's Day.

Little Man made these for his class this year. Can I tell you this is the least labor intensive valentine that we have done in a long time! If you want to bookmark for next year, you'll need to go over to zakkalife.blogspot.com.

She has other cool valentine ideas as well. Little Man might have gone for the space ones if he saw them when we were deciding.

Photo from her website as well.

Vegan baking...

This came from .peta.org it's a great cheat sheet for those of you following me on the vegan journey.
