What to Expect

Another blog, what can you expect!?

I am using this space to talk and share things I enjoy in life:

1. Cooking, Baking & Experimenting in the Kitchen- I recently, well Jan 2012, found out about Maximized Living (ML) and I have been trying to eat things that are approved by ML. ML is pretty simple, "if it is natural, eat it. If it's not, stay away from it". I have been adapting recipes and dishes to be ML approved and I have been finding a lot of new recipes that are already ML approved. Of course, desserts are the trickiest  I have been experimenting a lot in the kitchen with desserts that have no flour, no sugar etc. Luckily I have found quite a few that I hope to share.
   
   
2. Exercising- Also with ML, I have been working out with my favorite workout partner, Lora. We meet almost every M-F to do a Max T3  exercise. I really enjoy these workouts and maybe I will share some with you along the way. "Get Maximum Results in Minimum Time."
   
   
3. Craft Making & DIY projects- When I moved from a 1 bedroom condo to a 4 bedroom house, I found I have a lot of rooms to decorate. Therefore, I began finding crafts to do with empty wine bottles, wire spools we found in the construction dump site in our neighborhood, wreaths to make for my front porch door (for every season), and much more. Eric also enjoys things like this so we have "our" time on the weekends doing DIY projects and crafts. Last year I also got a sewing machine so I hope to be doing many more sewing projects.
   
   
4. Pets, mainly Moxie (Sorry Heidi & Jazzy)- In December 2011 we got Moxie, our little Cairn Terrier. We have had her in training at All Dogs Allowed with the amazing Karen Smith since 9 weeks old. She has been in obedience training with the goal to become a CGC Dog. She took her first test in late August but did not pass- which was expected at such a young age. However, I am still extremely proud of her and all that we have been able to teach her. I think it is safe to say I have a well behaved dog! Maybe one day, she will be a CGC dog. In the meantime, we started a tricks class which I think Moxie excels out. She likes tricks more than obedience.  She recently received her first title as Novice Trick Dog (more to come on that)! So in this blog, you will hear some Moxie stories- success, failures and just funny things dogs do! Oh, we also make Moxie some of her own "agility" equipment. Our latest weekend project was making Moxie a Teeter Totter to use in her tricks. So somethings you will see craft/DIY projects mixed in with Moxie stories!
