Why I Think It’s Ok To Mourn For Paris

November 17, 2015November 17, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

I am not into politics, and absolutely stray away from the social media maelstrom related to any and all current events, but the recent attacks on Paris hit home for me. I just returned from Turkey where I felt we are basically at the heart of the fight against ISIS, my family has spent loads of timeRead more

We’re Back In The States!

November 16, 2015November 12, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Most of the people who I’m friends with on Facebook already know this, but recently Aubrey and I, along with our two dogs came back home to North Carolina. We’re getting a lot of questions about why, and what’s going on in Turkey so I thought it would probably be a good idea to offerRead more

Homemade Lemon Lime Spritzer

November 13, 2015November 13, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

This recipe is so simple I kind of feel ridiculous calling it a recipe, but when it comes to learning how to use your essential oils I’ve found it can be helpful to start with some guidelines then tweak to your personal preference. I make this mocktail all the time when I tire of plainRead more

Two Ingredient Slow Cooker BBQ Pork & Roasted Curried Carrots

November 9, 2015October 19, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

This is seriously the easiest BBQ Pork recipe you will find. It involves two ingredients (plus a little salt and pepper of course) and time to cook unattended so you can carry on with life in the meantime.

Sunday Cooking (or Meal Prep if you prefer)

November 6, 2015November 6, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Sundays are a slow business around here. Breakfast usually involves some form of pancakes or waffles, NPR is streamed from the computer, and Will and I spend the morning sharing a french press of coffee and laughing at Paula Poundstones’ hilarious self. The afternoons are spent grocery shopping and meal prepping for the week. BackRead more

 “…Make believe you’re brave, and the trick will take you far. You may be as brave as you make believe you are….” A friend posted this quote from The King and I tonight on Facebook (why is all my inspiration coming from Facebook these days??), and while it’s applicable to her situation because she justRead more

November 2, 2015November 2, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

A few weeks ago we found ourselves at a real life, genuine, Oktoberfest, in Germany.  Some friends of ours stationed at Ramstein were planning to go and since we were going to be there while Will was TDY there for some cases, we gladly accepted their invitation to join. Last year we had planned toRead more
