Oatmeal for Haters
I hate oatmeal. But it’s one of the best things you can eat for your gut health, so alas, I surrender to that slop on a daily basis. I really put up a fight when I started eating it. I’ve tried every flavor and every brand. I finally got into a routine of just mixing my […]

Chic Dinosaur Planter (DIY)
I impulse shop, often. But I wasn’t about to pay $30 for a majestic golden dinosaur planter at my local specialty food store. I recreated the look for about $10 instead. This was stupid easy. I bought a rubber dinosaur (about the length of my hand) at a craft store. I made sure […]
Becoming an Outdoors Woman Workshop: Spring 2016
I’ve now been teaching geology at Texas Parks & Wildlife Becoming an Outdoors Woman workshops for three years. Twice a year at each new (or sometimes revisited) location brings new experiences and I meet new people. The most recent workshop at Concan in April was no exception. Concan is probably my favorite location […]
