Ladies and gentlemen here it is! My first blog post on Dashboard! For months Sara and I have been working on various projects and she has been doing all the writing, so I thought we should mix it up a bit (and give her a break). The purpose of this post is to introduce…
I’ve always been passionate about food and for over 12 years of my life I made very careful choices but somewhere along the way, I lost touch with what was on my plate. Not entirely, of course. I still support local and I still know what the best choices are but I don’t always make…

As I write this blog, we’re in the middle of our 7th week of being completely plant based. We haven’t had a single animal product in 45 days and we’ve learned a lot in a short period of time. There are so many things we want to tell you about but today we want to…
OUR LUXURY MASTER BEDROOM The Final Reveal Holy sweet lord I can’t believe it’s finally here! Our Luxury master bedroom makeover is complete! OK, full disclosure time. In hindsight, I may have bitten off more than I could chew with this One Room Challenge. There were many moments where I felt like I was in…
