When I was a kid, my mom was big into throwing birthday parties. Actually, she still loves to put together a party, but when I was a kid she really went all out. But with my birthday in February (the 15th, mark your calendars!) and us living in Connecticut, my parties sometimes had to be cancelled due to blizzards or icy road conditions. Womp, womp.

My paternal grandmother has always been a crafty lady. The back room in her house doubles as a guest room and a little mini artist's studio, where she'd paint mostly flowers and sometimes landscapes.

Are you guys snackers or do you eat big meals throughout the day? What about post workout/yoga sessions? I've always been a big meal eater. I still kind of am, I guess. I have four pretty decent sized meals throughout the day and a mid afternoon snack. The GAPS diet makes it tough to just grab something and go, so I'm looking forward to the day (maybe six months from now or so) when I can just grab a snack for after my gym or yoga sessions. Until then, I kind of have to stick to home cooked foods for the most part - meh.

Recently, I've been off the mat and out of the gym due to my sprained ankle which is always hard for someone like me who is a go-go-go kind of person. I just don't like sitting around the house. In fact, before yesterday, I literally hadn't left my house in three days and was starting to feel like I was going crazy. Being injured is more painful mentally than it is physically for me!
