We’re STILL walking for food. Three more days. After my week of “de-stressing”, I am thoroughly stressed. (I think selecting the first week of having my husband and kids home was ill-timed. More on this later.) This week we are tackling possessions, so you’ll get to hear the harrowing adventures of finding 7 items per…Continue reading Alene’s Note

Poorganic Food at Food Lion?
I know you have been waiting to hear about my reunion with Food Lion. (We broke up two years ago. I have moved on.) Okay, I don’t know if I was just in the right frame of mind, or if things have changed, but Food Lion was . . . Totally not bad at all.…Continue reading Poorganic Food at Food Lion?
The Garden Growers Q & A
A fortuitous thing happened right about the time I decided to try being a semi-locavorian walk-aholic. (If you haven’t the foggiest idea what that means, read this and this about The Summer of 7, an experiment in mowing down the excesses in our lives.) Since I am trying to eat local and walking for all…Continue reading The Garden Growers Q & A
Stress-less Summer
I have a confession. I jumped the gun a teensy eensy bit. My friend Amy was having this online bookclub, discussing Jen Hatmaker’s crazy book 7, and before I’d even read it, I agreed to write about the final chapter and the conclusion. I’d heard good things about the book, so what could it hurt?…Continue reading Stress-less Summer
I would be a Stil Meri
This is my FIRST heart observation for The Summer of 7, and I’m excited to HAVE a heart thing to report since some of this stuff feels like dumb legalism. One of the reasons that I had to change my Summer of 7 Food Challenge from only eating food I’d walked for and not eating…Continue reading I would be a Stil Meri
It’s So Arbitrary
I’m changing the rules. After only two days. (Read my first food post to get up to speed on this challenge . . ) See, I specifically designed this challenge to be conducted on me only. Firstly, because my husband thinks that putting yourself on voluntary restriction during the summer is stupid. (What’s wrong with…Continue reading It’s So Arbitrary
Pride Goeth to Food Lion
So today I start the Food challenge part of The Summer of 7. I bet you think that I will totally rock this, seeing as how I’m kind of a real food/ minimalist blogger and all that. Yeah, me too. I totally though that, for a few seconds. Then I remembered that the purpose here…Continue reading Pride Goeth to Food Lion
TSo7: My Schedule and the Button
Since I announced The Summer of 7 in the last post, there have been a whirlwind of events, so I’m going to update you quickly. If you think The Summer of 7 is a crazy legalistic cult-like bizarro exercise in aseticism, join my husband and kids for Boycotting the Summer of 7, beginning immediately. 😉…Continue reading TSo7: My Schedule and the Button
The Summer of 7 POST
Where you been, Katrina? Blog much? So, The Poorganic Life? Is that a blog, or just a Facebook page? That writing thing. That’s . . . not gonna happen; is it? No one has been asking these questions to me, but they have been reverberating in my head constantly as I’ve taken the last month …Continue reading The Summer of 7 POST
