Diver Pose (Drinking Bird Pose) ๐Ÿฆ… 
What does a Yogini cook and eat? Why, the foods she loves, of course.
What foods does a Yogini love?

Living a creative life means create-ing daily; handmade delectable edibles are a piece-of-cake way to commune with the divine per diem (especially if you’re planning to eat anyways)!


Just keep COOKing (in silence for effortless enlightenment).
Spring goddess salad, chocolate pots, homemade ‘perfect bars’ plus oats, three berry muffins, classic stuffed bell peppers. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค❤️

EN-JOY

Procuring, preparing, serving, and bussing (week)daily dinner takes an immense amount of effort, consideration and sacrifice; therefore, it is imperative to nourish your family by making and sharing the recipes you yourself LOVE.

Badass Then, Badass Now, But Different … ~ Knee to Nose Pose

Knee to Nose from Three Legged Dog
Weight forward, shoulders over wrists, for the ‘badass’ version.
Wear leopard-like patterns and large gems.

After dropping the girls off at violin lessons this afternoon, I took the boys to the new North Boulder Library and parked right in front of an apartment that we lived in for two years. It has been exactly a decade since the one toddler days we spent there, but, as I did then, I still have a three year old. Patrick’s comportment at the coffee shop and playground nearby was so similar to Goldie’s ten years back that I came home exhausted from the surreal experience. I was badass then, and I’m badass now, but different…
