Tulum 2
Just a few months ago, Zack and I hopped on a plane to one of our favorite Mexican beach towns ready to lock down the final details of our wedding plan. We put so much thought and effort into planning our wedding in Tulum (including compiling a very comprehensive website-photo-guide with every last hotel, activity, and detail) and spent over a week there ironing out our final game plan. Ultimately, we had to pull the plug on the entire thing a few weeks later and to be quite honest, the whole situation really sucked and was a big disappointment. The reasons were far from our control but in the end we felt that we made the right decision and at least we had an amazing time planning it.
Since we found a spectacular new venue in California last week (!!!) I've decided to finally share our recent Tulum trip along with the list that would have gone out to our wedding guests. It made me sad to think about this trip up until now, but today I'm really excited to share it. I've had a lot of people ask me what to do/see/eat in Tulum so here is everything I've got! Although Tulum is currently in high hurricane season (Sept/Oct), the best time to visit is coming very soon (early Nov), so I hope I inspire you to get on Google flights and start booking ;)
Now, I've shared a travel story from Tulum before [read here] but the crazy part is how much it has changed since then. The beloved Coqui Coqui has been raided, looted, and closed by the government (photos of it in it's previous glory in this post). New hotels, restaurants, and renovations are everywhere. Development is HAPPENING here in a real way. Many people would kill me for saying this but on this trip I thought to myself that some of the development was actually a good thing. There are many people living in poverty in the surrounding areas of this posh beach town and new hotels mean new jobs. I'm not going to dive any deeper into politics but I think it's a little too easy to whine about how something "used to be so much cooler/less developed/undiscovered/etc". Burning Man and Tulum are probably the most popular things to whine about in this category. Most of the new developments look really beautiful and follow the really unique style and aesthetic of the surroundings. I'm into it - there I said it.
Hotels are enchantingly chic here and I don't think you can go wrong if you stay almost anywhere along the beach. That is, if you're also down for a wallet whacking. Tulum is by no means an inexpensive Mexico destination. You can definitely do Tulum on a budget but I don't recommend doing so because the experience won't be the same. Hotels will offer bargain-basement pricing to appeal to inexperienced travelers during hurricane season (Sept/Oct) but it's really not worth the oppressive heat and high chance of being rained on the entire time. As Eric Werner, owner of Hartwood says, "Hartwood is closed in September: between the heat and the rains, there's no point in staying open". The ideal time to go is end of October through December. It starts getting pretty crowded and touristy from January through March (because the weather is beautiful) but I've been during this period before and it wasn't as bad as everyone says.
For the avid adventurer I think that Tulum might honestly seem a little slow and maybe even a little boring. Anyone dating or married to a surfer/type-A-for-adventurer can understand where I'm coming from with this bit. Setting the expectation that Tulum will be a slow, relaxing, and lazy beach experience is important. There is of course, LOADS to do in Tulum and the surrounding areas. My personal opinion is that it's really just best to flop out on the beach, take the occasional ocean swim, and enjoy fresh Mezcal cocktails and ceviche served to your beach cabana. Dance the night away at Gitano and Casa Jaguar under the stars, and do it all over again the next day.
Here are some of my favorite things to do once beach-burnout is reached:
- Yoga
- Cenote swimming
- Exploring the ruins
- Riding bikes to town
- Shopping the markets and stores in town
- Snorkeling / Kayaking / Ocean adventures
- Enjoying the huge variety of cuisines along the beach and in town
- Beach walking and exploring different hotels
Ok I lied, I don't really like yoga, but most people do so I had to include it. A simple Google search will lead you to a million and one places to do it.
My favorite cenote is Dos Ojos but you MUST go early, there are swaths of people later in the day. Definitely invest in a rental dive mask and don't be afraid to dive in and explore - it's a beautiful new world down there!
The ruins near Tulum are one of those cool things you need to see at least once. They have an incredible history and have been very well preserved. My only qualm is that it has been oppressively hot and crawling with massive iguanas every time I've gone. Not my cup of tea. There is also no shade so make sure you bring a hat. If you have a rental car it's totally worth driving out to Chichen Itza as those ruins are much more impressive.
Shopping is fun but there aren't many deals to be had. Locals are hip to the fact that almost everyone is a tourist, so stores tend to be a little overpriced in town. There are some gorgeous stores along the beach road.
I almost don't feel the need to suggest the best restaurants because if you closed your eyes you would trip over 5 of them - but here are my absolute favorites anyway:
- Hartwood - an "I've died and gone to heaven" experience! The menu is ever-changing but my favorites are the Ceviche de Atún and Roasted Beets with Avocado Habanero Crema.
- Gitano
- Casa Jaguar
- Casa Banana
- Arca
- Posada Margherita
- Taqueria La Eufemia - dollar tacos on the beach
- Wild
- Cenzontle
- Be Tulum beach bar/restaurant (fresh fish from the ocean!)
Here are my favorite hotels (find more info/reviews on TripAdvisor, prices are ballpark):
BE TULUM - The best of the best and my personal favorite - book here if you'd like to be in the lap of luxury
[500+ night]
AHAU TULUM - Private luxury thatched-roof beach cabanas and Bali huts at the water's edge

[160+ night]
COCO TULUM - Beautiful thatched roof beach huts, a fun beach bar with swing seats, and all-white-everything
[160+ night]
Some general precautions:
Please don't drink tap water while you are in Tulum. Be careful as well with things like ceviche or fresh fruit/vegetables because they can be washed in water. I was really careful and still had some stomach issues towards the end of our trip, you just never know in Mexico, but it's all a part of the adventure!
As always you should speak as much Spanish as you can without sounding like a gringo and it's polite to pay in Pesos vs. USD.
There is a travel warning for Mexico right now. When I was there this wasn't an issue so I can't speak to that but I would check the US Gov site for updates.
If you are pregnant or planning to be pregnant in the next year it's a bit risky to travel to this part of the world because of the Zika virus. CDC for more info.
Lastly, this was the intro to our wedding website. It still feels special, we wrote it together, and it sums up our feelings about Tulum so well:
We're thrilled to invite you to one most of the most beautiful places we have traveled. Located along the southeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, with its deep green jungle and Caribbean colored waters, Tulum is a slice of paradise. We have had many memorable experiences here and we're so excited to share it with you.

Max Pacioretty, left wing
The Montreal Canadiens have traded captain Max Pacioretty to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for left wing Tomas Tatar, centre Nick Suzuki and a 2019 second-round draft pick.
The Canadiens have also retained $500,000 of Pacioretty's remaining salary for this season, while the Golden Knights have retained $500,000 of Tatar's deal, which has two-years left on if beyond this season.
Pacioretty, 29, appeared in 64 games with the Canadiens last season, registering 17 goals and 20 assists for 37 points.
In 626 career regular-season NHL games with the Canadiens, Pacioretty has accumulated 226 goals and 222 assists for 448 points.
A native of New Canaan, Connecticut, Pacioretty was selected 22nd overall by the Canadiens at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He was named the 29th captain in Canadiens history on Sept. 18, 2015.
Tatar, 27, appeared in 82 games with the Detroit Red Wings and Golden Knights in 2017-18, recording 20 goals and 14 assists for 34 points.
In 427 regular-season NHL games with Detroit and Vegas, Tatar has tallied 119 goals and 109 assists for 228 points.
A native of Ilava, Slovakia, Tatar was selected in the second round, 60th overall, by Detroit at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Suzuki, 19, appeared in 64 games with the OHL's Owen Sound Attack in 2017-18, registering 42 goals and 58 assists for 100 points.
The native of London, Ontario, was selected 13th overall by Vegas at the 2017 NHL Draft.
The Golden Knights and Pacioretty have agreed to terms on a four-year, $28 million contract.
Pacioretty receives a limited no-trade clause, where he can list up to 10-teams he will not accept a move to.
He will earn $10.5 million in actual salary in the first year of his new deal, $7.5 million in 2020-21, and $5.25 million in each of the remaining two years of his contract.

Moms are usually juggling a lot at once, and every once in a while they drop the ball. Unfortunately, that "ball" is usually taking the time for a little self care. Self care means something different for every mama — from taking the time to drink a cup of coffee while it's still hot to planning a getaway without the kids — but one of the most important forms of self care we have is each other.
We're talking about building community. Communities provide us with a sense of belonging, and that feeling of belonging has a direct impact on our health and happiness writes CNN. For this very reason, one of Tinkergarten's goals for the classes is to help foster communities where children can play and where parents and caregivers can find friendship from like-minded families.
"The transition into motherhood is such a vulnerable time for women, and there's also so much vulnerability that we as mothers experience daily, to be surrounded by a community that understands that intimately is really powerful," Justine Nobbe of Adventure Mamas Initiative (AMI) so eloquently shared with us. And she is spot on.
AMI is a non-profit founded by Nobbe and her long-time friend Stephanie Feller, and its main purpose is to create a community of women that encourage and support one another to get outdoors for their own good. (Getting outside for some Mother Nature healing is another great form of self care.) We had the pleasure to talk to Nobbe about the importance of community, self care and adventuring — and we ended our chat inspired. Take five minutes, with a warm beverage in hand, and practice a little self care right now just reading what this wise mama had to say.
Early into Tinkergarten, the team learned that fostering strong communities not only helps kids learn, but they're an important part of taking care of yourself as a mom. What do you feel are the benefits of building community?
Just like kids need their friends, moms so totally need the same thing. Community is everything. We need one another. We need to be surrounded by people who affirm our unique values and help us enjoy our lives. It's all about creating alliances with people around us because they can help us realize our own dreams and manifest our goals.
What are the AMI communities like, and how are they built and fostered?
The AMI community is really dynamic. In our community you see a lot of people using social media at its very best, using it to implement positive change and authentic relationships and to transcend the keyboard to build really beautiful, strong communities.
We have a regional structure in North America with 15 groups across the US and Canada where women can connect with other women within their region. It's grassroots lead, which means we encourage women to step up and become local leaders within their community. You don't need to have a title to bring women together, you just need to have passion and initiative — and a drive to be that connecting force.
What do you think mamas gain from embracing adventure and spending time outdoors together?
For the women in the AMI community, adventure is our version of self care. We know that's kind of a novel concept, so I think the biggest thing women stand to gain in participating in adventure-based activities is that sense of wellness. Because they're doing something good for themselves.
I also think leadership, critical thinking, efficacy and strength, all of those things that we demonstrate and build when we're doing those challenging activities can be actually be brought back into the home and into your everyday life
Self care is an important tenet of AMI, and it's something we're focusing on for our Tinkergarten parents as well as for ourselves. And as a mother living an intentional life, I know how crucial taking the time for yourself is, but it doesn't always make its way into my daily life. What does self care as a mama look like for you?
Self care looks different from day to day and I'm okay with that. It really ebbs and flows. Some days I feel like I can't catch a break, and some days opportunities present itself and I'm able to sneak away to have a long climbing session.
I think it's about finding — and jumping on — those little opportunities that present itself. Maybe it's taking that first 30 minutes of nap time and saying, "I'm not going to start doing the laundry, I'm going to have a hot cup of coffee and I'm literally just going to sit here and drink it and enjoy myself." I feel like that's what my self care is a lot of the time. Or it might be having a couple minutes as the sun set and taking a little walk around the block.
What do you think are some of the challenges for mamas in terms of self care? And how do you recommend overcoming that?
It's everything from mommy guilt to some societal expectations of what it means to be a mom or a caregiver. I think those are the two big things. You feel guilty leaving your kid at home (if your self care is getting outdoors), but everything comes back to community. You need to surround yourself with the community that affirms your need to be outside, or to engage in self care in whatever fashion it looks like for you.
Now, it's time to take action! Look for experiences to connect more with the parent community near you -- whether it's a formal group experience, a coffee date with a friend or a hike with a few friends and their kids. If you're lucky enough to already have a strong foundation for community in your life, try to reach out to someone who looks like they could use a little support and connect with them. We're ever so grateful for our virtual Tinkergarten community and their support, and we invite you all to be a part of it!

Make Mornings Great Again
Breakfast. Is it important? Yes.
It energizes you for the day and jumpstarts your brain with proper nutrients.
Breakfast eaters have also been shown to be more focused and be at a healthy body weight ("Nutrition and Healthy Eating"). (1)
So, why would someone not eat breakfast?
Well, they might say:
1.) "I don't have enough time in the morning."
Answer - you can make time! If going to bed earlier or waking up earlier aren't viable options, you can still prepare healthy, convenient meals that can be scarfed down between showering, getting dressed, and starting your day. Here are some low-prep ideas you can whip up, without worrying about pesky time commitments (because sometimes it's easier to commit to the snooze button).
A.) Oatmeal: breakfast of champions. Individually prepared packets are simple and easy. Heat up a cup of water in a bowl for about 2 minutes, mix in the oatmeal and stir. Top with whatever you like: fruit, granola, gold flakes, etc.
B.) Granola bar: not all are created equal. Make sure to check the sugar content of the bars you purchase, because some are just candy bars in disguise.
C.) Trail mix: for the students who can't stop, won't stop. Super portable, and packed with energy. Again, watch out for varieties with excess sugar.
2.) "I don't like to eat in the morning."
Answer - To get in the right mindset, prepare your breakfast setting the night before. When you wake up and see your plate, bowl, glass and utensils laid out waiting for you, you may be more enticed to use them. Additionally, If your trail mix and granola bar are placed next to your keys and phone, you will be more likely to take the food with you when you leave for school or work.
At the very least, everyone should drink water in the mornings. It fuels your brain (which is 75% water, and dehydrated when you wake up) and controls your appetite by partially filling you up. (2) This tip is often overlooked, but it is the one thing you must add to your morning routine if you care about your body's overall wellbeing. 16 ounces (approximately two glasses) of water is about how much you should drink in the morning, adjusting as needed for size and weight. You will feel the difference!
3.) "I'm still not convinced."
Answer - Even though you may not enjoy eating (or anything for that matter) in the mornings, the benefits of doing so far outweigh the disadvantages of not doing so.
These benefits include:
1.) Increased brain function. People who eat breakfast supply their brain with necessary fuel.
2.) Augmented alertness. Breakfast eaters report feeling more awake and lively, as well as less groggy.
3.) Regulated appetite. Waiting until lunch to eat your first meal usually causes overeating and an excessive spike in blood sugar. Eating breakfast can give individuals more control over their portions because they will not be as hungry when it is time for lunch. (3)

On the cover of O magazine a few months ago? "A Miracle Course in Weight Loss (That really works!)" (BTW, I saw this month's with another set of weight-loss "secrets." If the last one worked so well, why do they need to keep running diet and weight-loss tips??!) Warning, triggering…
Cue eye-rolling, and yet, with the power Oprah has to influence so many people, it never ceases to amaze me that she is still looking for the miracle of weight loss… Oh, and there were no studies, randomized or otherwise to prove that the "method" in this article works.
Oprah writes about her "fear that keeps showing up as fat," and how the "unconscious mind will put the weight back on." Maybe Oprah puts the weight back on because she restricts (one episode she chirped about "no carbs" and gorging on lettuce with lemon juice…) Regaining weight is the predictable result of dieting between 85 and 90% of the time. It's physiology….
Once again she sets readers up for failure, "The results will come only from your full dedication and commitment to the process." Gee, how refreshing, so if it doesn't work, like with every other weight loss regimen, it's your fault. Basically the woman writing the book and featured in the article talks about spiritual giving-over of your self-hatred, relying on God and when you do that, the weight will simply disappear.
The brazen ignorance of physiology is breathtaking. Emotional eating may lead to weight gain for some, but resolving those emotional issues, whether it's through "God" or a therapist does NOT guarantee weight loss. Some will lose weight, some will stay the same, and some might even gain weight when eating competence improves. And never mind the assumption that just stopping the "emotional eating" will result in competent eating. (A great "how-to" for eating competence for adults is Secrets to Feeding a Healthy Family-Satter.)
Because, no, your body is NOT "merely a screen onto which your thoughts are projected" or personality traits. The article swerves dangerously here for me. If you're fat it's an outer sign to all the world that you are weak, emotionally shrunken, lazy etc. This isn't Chaucer, where the pox-marked ones were evil, and those with clear skin and beauty were that way because of their inner virtue, and yet, that is what is implied. "…learning to love Not-Thin-You, for she is nothing other than a product of fear, and fear, being the absence of love, is a call for love." This reminds me of middle-school math. a=b , b=c, therefore a=c. If you are fat you are unloved. You are unlovable. So love "Not Thin You" not to love her, and embrace this body and this world, but so you can get rid of her…
The letter to "Not-Thin-You" (180 pounds btw) describes her as unable to do cartwheels, doomed to wear flats, shouldn't "rock the dance floor," only to brag about how now she has avocados in the fridge, dreaming of 100 sit-ups and will soon say Good-bye to NTY…
I suppose I will spare you the rest, though I have crazily circled and exclamation-pointed several other paragraphs.
Just seems like more self-hating drivel, and so, so sad to me… And now I can throw this pile of steaming shame into the recycling bin…

Years ago I bought a book by Oprah's personal chef called 'In The Kitchen with Rosie'. It gave all the low fat recipes that Rosie cooked for Oprah at home, prior to one of the celebrity's spectacular weight losses (such as 'unfried chicken').
Nope,it didn't work for me. In fact I ended up gaining even more weight with rebound eating on all those fatty foods I had been denying myself. Even if you can fool your taste buds for a time, you can't fool your body.

wow…..so, is it bad that the only thing I really have a comment on is the "doomed to wear flats" line? Because…..I suppose I've heard everything else before. But what the hell? I wear nothing but sneakers. I can't stand heels, I can't even stand dress flats (they always fall off of my feet. Like the rest of me they're shaped weird – wide, but short. So if the shoe is wide enough to fit, it's got about an inch of empty space in the back, and with so many dress flats deciding they need to show toe cleavage, I can't find any shoes that will actually stay on that DON'T lace up)
Somehow the fact that heels are part of the "skinny you" is just so…blatant. It's so blatant with that line that this is about fashion and conventional beauty and girlishness, and not about health or individuality. I do still wish I could lose weight, and it's been on my mind recently, but it's never once been because I want to be "un-doomed" from flats

by the way I linked to this post and made a blog post with this one as a starting point. The end point might be really far away from Oprah but it sprang from there haha
She's never going to get over it. Never ever. She's just way too Vogue-struck. The only thing that will cure her is Anna Wintour saying that from now on, at least half her models will be size 12 or larger and a third will be over size 18.
And why am I not surprised that Marianne Williamson (still) buys into fat = Bad Relationship With God? (Not that I've read that book, but I've read others by her, and I can only imagine.)
I saw this month's with another set of weight-loss "secrets." If the last one worked so well, why do they need to keep running diet and weight-loss tips??!
Dude. I've been asking myself that for the last 35 years now.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Only fatties are expected to be perfect, appetite-free angels with no vices. I've never in my life been in a pizza joint, rib joint, donut shop, bakery, fast food place, etc., and seen only fat people eating there. Not once. I have, however, many times been in such establishments when I was the ONLY fat person eating there.

I've begun to wonder if the whole "emotional eating" notion hasn't been oversold. I'm sure that this is a problem for some people, but it sure seems as if the magazines and media assume that if you're over some official weight, then obviously you're pigging out because you're sad or tired or bored or unable to deal effectively with life. Every time I hear Oprah or some other expert talk about eating to "stuff down feelings", I want to bang my head on my desk.
I guess some people do this, but at the same time–best I can tell–people come in different sizes and have for a long time. And normal, healthy appetites and eating habits vary. I know thinner people who eat a lot and wider people who certainly seem to eat less, and vice versa. Some people–even wider ones–actually eat less when stressed or emotional, not more. I'm pretty sure you can't tell by looking at a person how, what or why they typically eat!
I mean, eating isn't a sign of weakness. Bodies–whatever size they are–actually need food.
Did you see Kate Harding's "Dear Oprah" post a couple of years ago? It looks like not much has changed.
The letter to "Not-Thin-You" (180 pounds btw) describes her as unable to do cartwheels, doomed to wear flats, shouldn't "rock the dance floor," only to brag about how now she has avocados in the fridge, dreaming of 100 sit-ups and will soon say Good-bye to NTY
So. Fucking. Sad. 180 pounds? Hahahahaha. That's my all-time lowest weight. Here's is me doing a cartwheel at 190 pounds:
And, why would anyone not wear heels if they wanted? I'm a good thirty pounds over her enormous 180 here…
Also, I can burn up the dance floor at whatever I weigh. And I have avocados in my fridge and can certainly do 100 crunches. It's just not about weight.
I have often lamented what a wonderful warrior she could be for the HAES cause…if she weren't so invested in hating herself. I read a recent "Day in the Life of Oprah" in one of those Sunday magazines that come with the newspaper, and she described getting up at 5:30 or 6, exercising and having meetings until something like 11am, at which point she would have a "green shake". She didn't eat again until 7:30p, when she made dinner for Stedman but didn't eat any of it herself. Instead, she had a rice cake with almond butter. (And she exercised again before having it.) I'm sorry, but if this were Kate Moss describing her day's intake, there would be experts all over the airwaves wailing about anorexia. Instead, we're supposed to look on her as an inspiration. It's sick. As Kate S. says, Oprah is really the textbook example of diets not working in the long term. If she can't make it work–she who has devoted a huge part of her life to unbelievable restriction in an attempt to control her size–how are the rest of us possibly supposed to do it? I don't have three hours a day to exercise, and I sure as heck don't have the desire to subsist on green shakes and rice cakes.
Kate S.
Oh Oprah! Love her or hate her, does anyone really think she is lazy? Or weak spirited? This woman is a dynamo who has created an empire from nothing. Honestly, I think she is one of the most compelling examples of how "weight-loss systems" dont' work and can't work because if anyone could change their body type through sheer force of will it would be her. Imagine what would happen if her influence was applied to eating competance and body acceptance.

Now's the moment you've all been waiting for - it's piñata time! And this is no ordinary piñata, it's the Bash Piñata Wall! We'll go one by one and everyone will select their own piñata to pull open. They all have different prizes and candy so each one is a surprise! The best part - no sticks so no one gets "accidentally" hit!
Fiesta Bash
We'll wrap up our Fiesta Bash with a dance party with party lights (and maybe even a freeze dance version of the Mexican Hat Dance)!

You and your team are in charge of a food truck named Café de Cumpleaños (Birthday Cafe) that you'll drive around town (the game board) and use to collect taco ingredients. You can earn extra pesos for your truck with Guac Cards. Each Guac Card has some sort of loco challenge to complete which makes for a lot of laughs! The team with the most pesos at the end of the game gets first picks at the Piñata Wall!
Bash Birthday Parties
¡Ole! Fiesta Bash is ready to guac your world! This Bash is all about the fun of a fiesta! We'll get things started by coloring in sugar skulls to add to our vivid party decorations.

The sweetest moment of your wedding reception bears a special importance and you must perform a thorough search for bakeries before you place your order, so, we thought it would help you to know why you should go for Publix wedding cakes.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
First off, Publix Bakery is the most well known in its field mainly because the personnel is extremely qualified and they come up with unique and interesting designs that are sure to leave an impression on your guests. So far, they have received but positive feedbacks from their clients who have confirmed that the final result exceed their expectations. Furthermore, apart from being design masters, the Publix bakers prepare the most delicious fillings that feature a diversity of flavors.
If you did not find the desired design in their portfolio you can anytime contact the bakers directly and share your ideas. They are very receptive people and always willing to discover new and original ways of adorning.
Publix wedding cakeshas its headquarters in Florida, but they have stores in almost every major city of the Southern area of the United States. However, they can also make home deliveries, if the destination is not one that will jeopardize the integrity and aspect of the sweet piece.
We must add that the Publix bakery does not only specialize in cakes, so you could also order wedding favors here, if you know that the majority of your guests have a sweet tooth.
The prices that go with these edible pieces of art depend, of course, on the quantity. So, the bigger the cake the more it will cost you, but the decorations that embellish it will also have a word to say in the final price. Some may find these prices a bit too high, but the truth is that beauty and the hard work always have to be rewarded accordingly.
It is rather important to have an imposing wedding cake to crown your big event, so choosing the bakery that will be in charge of it should be done with a lot of attention. Publix is renowned for its high standards and for the delicious flavors they manage to stir, therefore, if you live in the South (or not very far from it) and your wedding budget allows you, this is the bakery you should place your order to. The result will be a great wedding party and satisfied guests.

At Cy-Fair FCU, we're committed to weaving "good" into everything we do.
Started by 10 local educators, we have a special and historic connection to the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, and are honored to partner in its success as one of the top school districts in Texas.
Over the years, we've helped fund important education programs, as well as encouraged the dreams and aspirations of promising local students and teachers. Our support includes:
- $715,799 to the district in direct financial contributions
- $196,000 worth of scholarships to 196 high school seniors to help pay for higher education
- Thousands of dollars in classroom improvements through our annual Extreme Classroom Makeover initiative.
- Two years of mortgage payments ($48,000 total) and two New Car Giveaways ($30,000 total) to outstanding educators as part of our Spotlight Teacher Giveaways
In 2018 alone, we poured more than $293,000 worth of financial support into local organizations and people.
While we're proud of all the good we've been able to do in our community,
we've recently challenged ourselves to do more.
In 2013, we launched our Community Only Better Initiative—a 10-year, $500,000 pledge to invest in organizations and causes that strengthen our community. Each year since 2013, we've surpassed our $50,000 annual giving goal, contributing $77,310 in 2018, and a total of $293,139.
Community Only Better isn't just about financial support. With encouragement from our paid community hours policy, Cy-Fair FCU employees also logged 1,331 community hours in 2018, worth an estimated $33,695.
Our Social Responsibility Program takes a holistic approach to community impact. This program includes:
- Monetary support and ongoing financial counsel to our local partners
- Additional fundraising for our partners' work—School Spirit Debit Cards help raise funds for a local school of choice, and a credit card program that generates donations from a certain percentage of each transaction to local non-profits
- Encouraging staff and members to support partner organizations with their time, money and skills
- An employer match for employee nonprofit donations
- Promoting financial, social and environmental stewardship across our credit union—such as minimizing the environmental impact of our current and future branches
This $1.5 million partnership with Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District provides $150,000 annually in financial support for the school district's operating budget. Our sponsorship can fund up to three classroom salaries each year and will help continue student-enriching programs like art, theater, music, history, and debate.
Cy-Fair FCU has a long and storied history of giving back.
We want to do even more, to think bigger and more creatively in support of our great community!

Have you ever made an omelet only to wonder what the real difference was between the white and brown eggs? Well, surprisingly, it's shockingly simple. No, the white eggs were not bleached to be that color. It's actually a natural variation that makes them so clean and pristine. The chicken eggs correlate to the chickens themselves, and there is little different. So what's the real difference between white and brown eggs?
Brown eggs are laid by brown chickens and white eggs are laid by white chickens. As you can see, there's little difference between them scientifically. Of course, there is the occasional green/blue egg in the mix that come from the Ameraucana breed, also known as the Easter egg chicken. Other than color, however, there is little or no difference in taste between the various colors of eggs.
The Price Point of Eggs
Although the egg color may not affect the taste, there is certainly a difference in their cost. Generally, brown eggs are pricier than white eggs; blue eggs even more so. Barring differences between environments that include free-range, organic, grain-fed, the difference in price comes down to size.
Brown egg-laying chickens are simply bigger than the white-feathered chickens, so it takes more feed to keep them happy and healthy. This extra cost is then transferred to the consumer, which is the real difference between white and brown eggs. It has nothing to do with the particular egg shell color.
So there you go, the economics of eggs comes down to the breed of the chickens who laid them, be it home-raised chickens, younger chickens, or older chickens. Who would have thought? Now that you know all this fun information, what are you going to do with your eggs?
1. Scotch Eggs
Roll your eggs up tight in some spiced sausage, and deep fry them until crispy on the outside, and warm and eggy on the inside.
Just look at that beautiful golden egg yolk. Get the recipe here.
2. Baked Eggs with Mushroom and Parmesan
Get your omega-3 fatty acids, and enhance this natural pocket of protein by adding mushrooms, herbs, and parmesan.

3. Eggs in Hashbrown Nests
Make your eggs portable by crafting them little hashbrown baskets and baking them to crispy perfection for a breakfast full of nutritional value.

Decay can be a very beautiful thing. Time, war, weather, and wind have stripped away what was once considered a complete building. Now what remains is something altogether more meaningful. Revealed are the construction techniques of centuries past. Revealed are the imperfect building materials, mended and patched, that create yesterday's super structures. Revealed is the spirit of humanity and our ability to create marvels.

Collaborative Post
Getting your skincare routine down pat doesn't have to involve you splashing your cash, and when you are suddenly on a budget, you don't have a choice but to keep hold of that cash as hard as you can. If you lose your job or find yourself without the level of income to which you became accustomed, you need to look at your budget. Also learn where you can make some cuts. The one place – the last place – that anyone wants to cut their budget, is their skincare routine.
You should already know by now why you look after your skin the way that you do, to be able to justify where you spend your money on skincare products. Understand that cleansing your skin is rinsing and cleaning the day's makeup and sweat and dirt off your skin. Understand that toning restores the PH balance and removes any cleanser residue. Understand that moisturizing gives you back that moisture that you lose through the cleansing process. When you understand each step of the process that you use for your skincare routine, you can choose where you can cut your budget for it.
Here's the good news: you don't have to cut your budget by much. You can buy discounted high-end makeup to keep your beauty routine in line with the way that you've been doing things this whole time. You can make smart choices with your skincare routine that means that you can still use good products without paying through the nose for them. So, how do you change things up without cutting your skincare budget down too much?
- Firstly, use water. Wash your makeup away with water until the water runs as clear as possible. Then, use a tiny amount of your cleanser and create as much of a lather a possible. The idea here is that you can buy your usual cleanser, but have it last you a lot longer, making it an essential in your budget and not a luxury.
- Next, when you come to toning, you should switch out the cotton balls you've always used for cotton pads. They are slightly rougher, which can work as a scrub for your skin and help to tone the skin as you go. Using cotton pads can also stop you from using too much product at once, saving you more money than you think.
- Moisturizer is the last thing in the routine and so you can usually swap out your moisturizer for a different brand with the same active ingredients. Again, keep the usage minimal daily, but not too much. You can switch your evening moisturizer with a sunscreen instead of using the usual brand that you buy, making it last that bit longer and still protecting your skin.
Knowing how to make your existing routine better is going to help your budget while keeping your skin looking amazing. You don't have to compromise the quality of your routine just because your budget has changed; it's just about making little swaps!

Sea Cider Farm Wedding - Victoria BC - Rob & Jenn
Rob and Jenn are my kind of couple which simply means they are madly in love! These two connected all the way back in high school, dated for a while, but fell apart. Years later Jenn reconnected with Rob on Facebook rather mischievously and before they knew it, they went on a trip to Africa together! 5 years later their love is so alive and their wedding was filled with so many close friends and family who care about them so deeply. On top of all that, their wedding was set in one of my favourite cities, Victoria, BC. Part of the day we spent photographing in Beacon Hill Park which was such a treat because that's where my own parents had their wedding pictures taken, over 25 years ago! With getting ready at The Craigmyle, pictures downtown Victoria, and the ceremony and reception at the Sea Cider Farm, it couldn't have been a more perfect day! Congratulations Jenn & Rob!
Vendors that helped make the day great:
Hair and Make Up: Alison Alexander and team at Amplify salon
Dress: The Blue Bustle boutique (Victoria)
Florals: Rook & Rose
Catering: Toque
Desserts: Crust bakery
Decor: Party Mood

UnAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
What does it mean to be unapologetically black?
By personal definition, I'd say it means to be centered, conscious, and deeply aware of your blackness. It means that you recognize the beauty in of our complexities; from lifestyle, to shape and color. Our slick language, our code; the varying dynamics of our physical make up is nothing short of amazing. When you're an individual who is UNAPOLOGETICALLY black, you understand the connection your melanin has to the Creator; you understand the magic within us that breed's our resilience. It means you know why we got rhythm and flavor: our un-calloused pineal glands. It means that you have discovered the true virtue of our God given heritage and know that the Creator has bestowed many gifts upon our people. We are multifaceted. We are creators. We are innovators. This is how we survive any means or circumstance. When you're unapologetically black your knowledge of self and all its splendor walks before you and leads you every day.
Today, we pay homage to Carter G. Woodson, the unapologetically BLACK historian behind what we know today as Black History Month. He and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History started the precursor to Black History Month in 1926, when they deemed the second week of February "Negro History Week".
Wikipedia cites "This week was chosen because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and of Frederick Douglass on February 14, both of which [are] dates Black communities had celebrated together since the late 19th century."
"If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. The American Indian left no continuous record. He did not appreciate the value of tradition; and where is he today? The Hebrew keenly appreciated the value of tradition, as is attested by the Bible itself. In spite of worldwide persecution, therefore, he is a great factor in our civilization.
— Carter G. Woodson

Montreal's move to ban pit bulls has been causing controversy since September 2016, and the situation has reached an all-time low.
On August 21, the city of Montreal mailed out letters to around 500 local pit bull owners saying they have four weeks to get rid of their dogs. The letters suggest either rehoming dogs to areas outside Montreal or surrendering them to a shelter, but city officials made it clear that if the dogs aren't gone by the given date, legal action will be taken.
Backlash against Montreal's pit bull ban was predictable, PR expert says #HumberPR https://t.co/RUdkKu8Lex pic.twitter.com/Y2VKp5L4do
— Humber PR Committee (@humberPRcmte) November 25, 2016
The 500 letters explained to the recipients that while they met the March 31 deadline to apply for a pit bull permit, their applications remain incomplete. They were given until June 1 to provide proper documentation, but after a flood of pit bull owners trying to keep their dogs, the office in charge of processing the paperwork has been backed up.
Nathaniel Perl, one of the dog owners who received a letter, told the Montreal Gazette:
"I sent all the documents along with the police check on May 30. I didn't get an answer, so I called the city. They told me they'd received so many emails there was a delay, but they'd send me my [dog's] tag."

Perl's dog, Lily, is one of many dogs currently living in Montreal that may or may not fall under the city's vague definition of a "pit bull-like" dog. The original legislation dictating the ban states dogs that share physical characteristics typically associated with American Pit Bull Terriers, Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and their cross breeds will be included in the ban. Dog breeds are identified without expert knowledge, and it basically means every big dog with a large head and short hair is at risk.
Not knowing whether or not Lily fell under that category, Perl decided to register her as a pit bull just in case. He spent around $500 trying to comply with the city's demands and was shocked when he read the letter saying Lily had to go.
Montreal's controversial pit bull ban is officially in effect. https://t.co/uQ27wwQDic pic.twitter.com/Z3IN0msVLz
— Newsy (@NewsyVideos) October 3, 2016
Local animal shelters were also surprised to hear the news. They're arguing that four weeks is not enough time for responsible dog owners to find new living situations for their dogs. They predict that as the deadline approaches, more and more dogs will be abandoned by their owners in desperate attempts to avoid expensive fines and legal trouble.
Above all, dog owners are heartbroken at the idea of having to give up their beloved pets. Their dogs are part of their families, and many pit bull owners are planning to voice their objections and concerns at city hall. There's also a petition circulating calling for the ban to be repealed. You can sign it by visiting this website.
What do you think of the Montreal pit bull ban? Let us know in the comments below.

my fingernails are still dirty
I can't believe it's almost noon. I went to bed early last night so I woke up at 5:30 this morning. yawn. Somehow the morning is still managing to fly by...almost time for lunch and naps! yay! They have worn me out, these two, with the painting and gluing and markering and painting and gluing...
We had a really good weekend. James got some steel training wheels on his bike but don't worry, mom, he is handling them really well now. Sunday was pretty funny because his seat was too low for him to get any momentum to get going so he sat on the path watching other kids fly by. Patrick said it looked like he was watching them for clues...we were laughing and applauding his perseverance. He's quite a kid.
I finished a strange book this morning. It's called The Locktender's House and got so creepy that until it turned a certain corner, I couldn't read it at night. It's a sad and strange and weird and, did I mention creepy?, story. Unlike anything I've ever read, that's for sure. I kind of liked it but still am not sure I really "get" it. I think so but it's one of those books that I have to mull over for a couple days until I either come to terms with it or just move on. Have any of you read it? What did you think?
Vicki had asked me about my book list last week so I wanted to address that. Every time I go to the bookstore I browse the new fiction and non-fiction sections and take pictures (with my phone) of any covers that look good. I later add those to my hold list. I also browse through the Coming Soon section of bn.com (because a lot of times new books that have been ordered are already in our library's system and can be held) and check the Library's own Don't Miss lists around the first of every month. (It's where they list all the new books just entering the system...it has recently been organized so it's super easy to narrow down your search.) There. My library secrets and further proof that I am a geek.
I might update my list later but basically, I just got a lot of it done. We also managed to have some good fun this weekend and it left us all wishing every weekend could be like this. As Patrick was getting in the car this morning, James yelled after him to make sure he didn't hit a pickle in the road, eat his sandwich so his belly doesn't rumble and to be home by dark.
I need to take some more pictures of outside stuff but there are a lot already on flickr from the weekend. Time to make the hot dogs! xoxo

Our wonderful dog, Bart, went home on May 8, 2010 to be with his new guardian, Mari Ellen.
He is shown at left with the Shelter staff wishing him "bon chance" and with his new guardian. We miss Bart, but know that he has gone to a wonderful and loving home.
Here is a brief email we received from Bart:
"Hi! I'm sending you the photo Mari Ellen took of us on Saturday! Thanks for all the love and good care when I REALLY needed you! I miss you all so very much, but Mari Ellen is very nice to me and I'm sure I'll feel at home in no time! I'll be sending updates quite frequently so keep doing such a great job for all my shelter buddies and I'll come and visit a little later.
Good luck, Bart and Mari Ellen!

The men who lived at the Buckingham Side Camp and served in the Civilian Public Service (CPS) in northeastern Colorado would have worked nine hours a day, six days a week under the direct supervision of an employee of the Soil Conservation Service, such as Clyde Fuqua.
The director of the camp itself would have been Mennonite and most likely a pastor. He would have managed the needs of the men, overseen the maintenance of the facilities, handled community relations, reported to Selective Service representatives, and organized the Sunday worship.
Selective Service regulations called for the director of the camp to be responsible for an educational program. Education was in addition to work projects. The men worked very hard all day and then had to try to stay awake in the evening in the classroom. The CPS ideal was to prepare the men for peace-keeping and human service work.
At a Glance
Personal belongings that each man was requested to bring to Buckingham Side Camp for conscientious objectors during World War II:
• one suit
• coat
• rain coat
• work clothes- jeans, jean jackets, work shirts, gloves, boots, shoes, socks, cap
• underwear
• pajamas
• bedding and towels
• personal hygiene items
• shoe polish
• stationery/ stamps
• Bible, books
• mending kit
– From: "The CPS Story: An Illustrated History of the Civilian Public Service" by Albert N. Keim
Since Buckingham was a Mennonite camp, the men would have been schooled in Mennonite history, the church's mission, and the relationship of Christians with their community and the state. The men would have also been taught occupational skills. Lastly, it was hoped that the men would deepen their spiritual lives while living in the camp.
In their spare time, the men in the camp also participated in several recreational activities. That included the leatherwork, woodwork and carving that Mrs. Fuqua had mentioned to her guests in 1947. These were the visitors from Fort Morgan and Weldona who wound up at what had been the camp for conscientious objectors (CO's) near New Raymer until its dissolution after the end of World War II.
The CO's enjoyed playing outdoor sports, as well. Daily "bull sessions" while working or late at night before going to sleep were likely. A common theme of these discussions were questions such as, "How can we deal with the evil of Hitler without resorting to violence?"
Women in camp
The few other employees in the camp would have been women. The peace churches wanted women to live in the camps since they thought their presence would bring a civilizing influence to the camp as well as boost the mens' morale.
The camp director's wife was often employed as the camp matron. The matron served as a sort of "house-mother." She supervised men as they did their laundry and ironing, inspected their barracks for orderliness, ran the library, and hosted guests.
Most likely the camp would have employed a nurse, as well. She would have cared for patients, inspected the camp for proper sanitation, administered vaccines, and arranged for any medical discharges. Too often the nurse had to verify whether or not men were really sick. Because of the tediousness of the work they performed, some men faked illness or exaggerated how bad off they really were. Because of these "goldbrickers" the nurse had to develop a thick skin.
One of the most important jobs in the camp was that of the dietician. Although the men in the camp served as the cooks, she had to order all of the food, train all of the workers, and organize the kitchen crews. The dietician had to be very creative due to the lack of proper equipment and supplies. During the war there were food shortages and rationing because there were not enough available farm workers. It's possible that the Buckingham Side Camp may have had its own garden, and it may have received canned and dried food donations from Mennonite churches.
The only women allowed to live in the camp were female employees. If the wife of a conscientious objector wanted to stay near her husband during the war she would have had to find work on a nearby farm or town. If that were the case, she would want to keep a low profile. Although there are not a lot of official records of harassment from civilians towards the CO's and their families, hostility towards these "yellow bellies" or "canaries" certainly existed.
Next in the series: Discontent, problems arise at conscientious objector camps.

Lawn care has always been difficult to schedule. Especially when it comes to lawn care in New Port Beach, I have had the hardest time with finding reliable lawn care in my area. That is til I found GreenPal.

With less time worrying about lawn care, I have more time to plan out my neighborhood BBQ's. When I get back from my job at Newport Channel Inn, I can simply enjoy my lawn.
Once my son went off to Platt College he had no more time to do my lawn care. I tried for a few years, but it just never worked out. I tried to have the neighbors son do it, but he just wan't interested. So I turned to the internet, and that is when I found GreenPal.

About Newport Beach CaliforniaNewport Beach is a city in California, United States.
The Upper Bay of Newport is a large natural canyon. This canyon was carved by a stream during the Pleistocene period. The Lower Bay of Newport on the other hand was formed much later. This natural form was formed by sand that was brought in by ocean currents. These sand moments accumulated and formed the offshore beach that is now recognized as the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach.
Before the first settlers reached the coasts of California, the Newport area and surrounding areas were very prominent native American lands. Native American relics, including shells, can still be found today scattered throughout the area. Throughout the 1800s, settlers began to settle the area due to the large availability of land. The State of California sold one acre-plots of land for whopping $1 a piece in the Newport area. Anglo-American inhabitation in the area grew substantially following the events of 1870 when a 105-ton steamer called The Vaquero, which was driven by Captain Samuel S. Dunnells safely steered through the lower and upper bay of Newport where it unloaded its cargo.
After he heard the astonishing news James Irvine, quickly traveled from his home in San Francisco to the San Joaquin Ranch. Meeting in Irvine's ranch house near current day UC Irvine with his brother, Robert Irvine, and his friend frind James McFadden, all agreed that the newly found port should be aptly named , "Newport" thus where Newport Beach gets its name.
In the year 1905, city development began to increase after the Pacific Electric Railway established a southern terminus in Newport. This railroad connected the beach with downtown Los Angeles. In 1906, the scattered settlements of newport were incorporated as the City of Newport Beach.
In the year 1923 Corona del Mar was annexed. In the year 2002 Newport Coast, East Santa Ana Heights and San Joaquin Hills, were annexed. Finally in 2008, after a drawn out battle with the city of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach annexed West Santa Ana Heights.
