I have found that one of the hardest parts of trying to make healthier choices, when it comes to what you eat, is the in between meals stage: snacks. To make it easier for you, each week I will bring you a new healthy option for snacking. One of the capstone projects I completed in…
#milechallenge2014 July update
Sadly we only got around to one hike this month. 1. because Trav was out of town a lot + I started my clinicals = not a lot of free time together and 2. because summer in the IE is boarderline unbearable. We planned to head down to San Diego to hike, but never got…

DIY: Mid Century Coffee Table
When I moved out of my last apartment, my cheap IKEA coffee table had to go. I had been wanting to DIY a coffee table for awhile, but the timing just wasn’t right. I knew if I got rid of the only one I had, I had to build one. For the first couple months…
Campfire Cones
Calories don’t count on vacation, right? I guess this dessert gets some healthy points because I threw in some peanut butter and fresh fruit. Anyways, I found a couple pins on Pinterest floating around for a new type of campfire dessert: campfire cones. They were easy to put together, and were absolutely delicious. If you…
Our camping menu
Did I mention we only took my little Honda Civic up to Tahoe. Yeah, it was filled to the brim with all the essentials. So it was pretty imperative that we didn’t pack more than we needed to. About a week before we left, I made lists, and then more lists, and then final draft…

ANDDDD we have passed the half way mark. Since June is the sixth month in the year, we are right on track to finishing on schedule. But now that summer is in full swing, I see many more hikes in our future. Especially since our summer bucket list includes finishing 3 new to us hikes….
second a day: June
And another month in the books. The end of June marked the half way mark of this challenge. If you watch closely, you will notice we missed two days in there. I’m not stressing about getting every single day in. Especially if they are boring days (hello week before finals). Like I said in the…
HIKING ADVENTURES: Rubicon Trail
WHO: Travis + Elise WHAT: Rubicon Trail WHERE: Lake Tahoe, California WHEN: June, 2014 WHY: We were camping up at Lake Tahoe, and wanted to check out one of the many hikes up there. We also wanted to knock out some miles for our mile challenge. We really do resarch into hikes before we pursue…
Summer Bucket List
For the past couple of summers, Trav and I have made up a summer bucket list. It’s a fun way to get out, do or try new things, and have some fun during the summer months when I would be home from college for the summer. We would always say, “We should do that” or…
