Minimalist Challenge | Day 3 | March 2021

March 3, 2021

I bought the black bin when I moved in… I don’t remember why. I just know I’ve moved it several times and it doesn’t fit anywhere. The foot tube has not worked in over a year and the box has been empty in my bathroom for YEARS!!!! Deep, long heavy sigh… xoxo, Tracy Deanne

Groceries from Amazon

August 17, 2020

I thought it was very interesting when Amazon bought Whole Foods. Don’t get me wrong, I shop with Amazon for many, many things. I started with books. Do you remember when Amazon was mostly books?

December and January are the busiest times at my office. We are finalizing details, packing and traveling to our location. We spend at least 8 days in a different city for the conference. This year (2020) was San Diego, California. All of this means, in an office that celebrates EVERYTHING, we celebrate Christmas in February. … More eating vegan @ | Merchant’s Restaurant and Grill

Crock-pot Black Bean Soup

February 11, 2020

In a world of Instapots and air fryers, I am holding on tight to my Crock-pot. It’s just the cheap, minimalist inside of me that will not allow any other gadgets in my home. The crock-pot has served me well for years and continues to do so. 1 cup of black beans, dried 1 yellow … More Crock-pot Black Bean Soup
