This never-ending winter is really starting to get to me. So much so that I don't want to do anything but eat and sleep. At this point I even dread taking Lucy for her walks because if I'm not slipping and falling on the ice on my own, she's so strong that any amount of … Continue reading Tuesday Tails

Wordless Wednesday

February 25, 2015February 25, 2015 Laura Runs a Latte Wordless Wednesday vegan, Wordless Wednesday

I actually do have a few words to say about this. I was hesitant to post this because while I do follow and promote a vegan diet (and lifestyle), a lot of the items on this list are not "healthy." I try to follow more of a whole foods, plant-based diet. The reason I decided … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday
