Paleo Cranberry Sauce Recipe
Mmmmm… cranberry sauce. Fresh cranberry sauce can be so delicious and good for you. However, many recipes call for an overload of refined sugar to take the tart edge off the natural cranberry flavor. Personally, I don’t mind the tartness much. But you don’t have to load refined sugar into your cranberry sauce to make it sweet. Maple syrup or honey make an easy and healthier substitute for all of that sugar. Local honey can even help with any allergies you may get this time of year. Try this delicious paleo cranberry sauce recipe I made this year. You’ll love it! Paleo Cranberry Sauce Ingredients 1 1/2 Cups Fresh Cranberries…

Surfing Around Matagorda Beach
For anyone else who tires of being a spectator, here’s something surfy from Chris’s point of view surfing around Matagorda Beach. These were all taken using Chris’s GoPro on a beautiful, clean fall day on the beach with some beautiful waves. Standing on the beach taking pictures is fun for a while, but soon enough you have to test the waters. For me, the point of view of the video really underscores the amount of effort it takes to get in there and the singleminded purpose it takes. Waves are messy (just like life). It’s literally an uphill battle to get out there – all for a few seconds sliding…

In The Company of Women Book Review
In The Company of Women, Grace Bonney of Design Sponge’s latest book, brings together interviews with over 100 women who are makers, artists, and entrepreneurs – and good company it is! I’m always fascinated by women who work as creatives and small business owners. How do they make it work? What did they do differently than I did? How did they get to where they are now? Years ago I followed what I thought were my dreams and went to art school. For someone like me who thrives on stability, the regularity and security of an office environment is much more practical if not as imaginative. I’m so inspired by…
