Walk a mile in someone else’s TOMS
Like any other Monday I woke up, let Oliver outside to run for a bit, and began to get ready for work. Then I realized the two weeks of Project Vegan are over. I had made it past the headaches, crankiness, the dark circles under my eyes, my skin turning blue (Iron deficiency, take your…

Bear with me here…
You might have noticed it’s been a while since my last post? I mean we’re talking somewhere in the ball park of 11 days of being MIA, but when I created this blog, I went in with the intentions of posting at least once a week. Well despite good intentions, and plenty of writing ideas,…
