So it's been a while.....

I originally started this blog to log my new adventure into vegan eating thinking it was going to be a difficult ride. I really had no problem adjusting the the new diet and actually enjoy it. I feel more connected to the food I am eating and make more conscience decisions....I have also lost 15 lbs (can't complain).

My newest dilemma is my status as SAHM. I have been staying at home since 2007 after the birth of my first child. 4 years later, I am getting ancy. I guess I have the SAHM four year itch (is there such a thing?)

With an almost four year old, and an 18 month old boys, I am beginning to loose my mind. My days are long and I am getting stressed and upset more days than not.....has the nurture left me? My patience, which was once excellent, is now getting shorter. Some days I feel like I just want to do something....not quite sure what though.

I still do things: tutor at night after the kids go to bed, I've started up my own little business Colby Creations, and I irish step dance.

So I do have somewhat of "a life" outside of my mommyness.

Today, I was trying to look through a magazine while "trying" to get 60 seconds of peace in the bathroom and I came across an article (no time to read it..... I have become increasingly good at getting the gist of things by just looking at a picture and a headliner) and the two moms in it had started a little non-profit org helping out other families in the community. It got me thinking.....about nothing really specific except that I really wanted something else for me.


I am now going to document how I feel about my SAHM adventure daily......assuming I have time to write and maybe I can figure things out.

My addiction to dark chocolate

So there it is plain and simple...I love dark choc.

It has to be 70% cacao or more.........I just love it....need it everyday!

Day one of the food blog

Today I start putting down in print what I am consuming.....how I consume it......and really taking a good stab at my feelings and thought about my food situation right now. I plan on taking pics of some of the meals, what I think about before, during and after I eat them.....and whatever else I find appropriate.

Not that anyone will ever read this blog except me, I find that this might help me make things more concrete and easier to "digest". Maybe someone will find this helpful, funny, or insightful, but that is not the purpose just yet.
