Samantha Barden 10/10/2018 8:39 AMMy dogs are appreciating the extra walk that they are getting for this challenge to walk 20 min a day; usually my husband is in charge of walking them, now they get extra time out in the 'hood. -

Samantha Barden 10/10/2018 8:35 AMI love the pumpkin stand/farmers market out at Sandy and 128th(?) awesome pumpkins, great carrots and all the other veggies are delicious. Last year we bought a 35 lb pumpkin (which was way too much). -
Samantha Barden 10/10/2018 8:33 AMI learned to make milk Kefir this last week, it's an odd flavor and food, but I'm really enjoying figuring out the timing, consistency and adding it to recipes. My dogs love it my husband does not.-
