I love your stress tips. I’m a huge list maker (and definitely time everything out). Sometimes I wonder if it makes me more stressed though. I’m trying to drink more tea, say more prayers and ask for help more these days.

I just made couscous for the first time last week. Love it but I’m super jealous of the mix you got from Trader Joe’s. We don’t have one close but it looks so darn good!

Thank you for the hilarious list of adult truths and great stress-busting tricks! And I would be SO in if that list shirt existed. I live by my lists so much, it’s a little outrageous! :) Glad to hear today was better for you, Kristin!

I just get overwhelmed easily when work and life gets busy, and because I am a perfectionist it doesn’t help that little things like dusty furniture bothers me! I LOVE lists and prioritizing things too, it makes life so much easier and just writing a simple list can help me reduce the stress by a lot! And after a long day at work though I might just want to lay on the couch, a good workout always leaves me feeling 100 times better!
PS Love that TJs Harvest Grains! We had it with Mmmm Sauce from
Peas and Thank You last night :)

Two things: #20 is awesome. And baby chickpeas?! I die. Need to get some ASAP.

I have been reading your blog for a little over a year and love it because despite living in Portland I grew up as a Midwest girl and love your Midwest Iowa love:) I had a terrible day today and your 20 adult truth put it all in perspective. My husband and I had some great laughs and nods of agreements.
Alexa @ SimpleEats 11.08.2011
Couldn’t agree more with that list…3pm rolls around and I’m like “Well, I’m done for the day.” Ha!
Tori 11.08.2011
Bahahhaa I was seriously cracking up reading your Truths, because I agree with ALL of them! Especially: 1,4, 7, 17,18,19. Too funny. Thank you for making my day a little better! :)

Yum, I’m going to have to pick up some of that Israeli stuff, I haven’t seen it at TJ’s before. Looks good!
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) 11.08.2011
OH my goodness this list is awesome. Like every single one is so true! Number 5 made me LOL. I have no freaking clue how to fold a fitted sheet and I am 29 yrs old!
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) 11.08.2011
love the list. this post made me decide to procrastinate a little longer…
that dinner looks bomb! I’m going to make it next week!
Lindsay 11.08.2011
I absolutely LOVE the adulth truths. And they are all so true. Especially the folding of the sheet….ugh! Oh, and what is your final conclusion about Once Upon A Time? Yay or Nay? I watched the first one, and haven’t watched it since so I don’t know if it’s worth picking back up or not!
erica 11.08.2011
i get stressed when everything piles on at once (which is usually always the case) weeks of lounging around then BOOM! heaps of “to-dos” and responsibilities and obligations.
that list cracked me up! hilarious.
and i must get that trader joes blend!
kathleen @ the daily crumb 11.08.2011
israeli cous cous is one of my favorite grains — and i have a bag of that harvest blend in my pantry just begging to be used!
thanks for the stress tips — very much needed, especially today.
Leslie Means @ Her View From Home 11.08.2011
Life get’s crazy doesn’t it! My biggest stress is trying to do it all as well. Spend enough time with my hubby, two beautiful girls, work, house etc…
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sometimes..(many times) I pour myself a nice glass of wine, and that helps. :) A bubble bath and a great book/magazine is good too!
Nancy 11.08.2011
Glad you’re ok and took some much needed time to chill and catch up with yourself–and adjust to the time change too. Best!
Amanda 11.08.2011
I definitely get the most stressed out about the “to-do’s” in my life. Work stresses me out, but if I come home to a messy house/dirty laundry/empty fridge, I get so frazzled!! I just have to remind myself that I still have something to wear, can order take out if needed, and live with a little extra dust. Can’t always be superwoman :)
Jenna 11.08.2011
I was at a CPA conference a couple of weeks ago and our closing seminar was from a Gynocologis (who’da thunk?!) to teach us how to “tame the 25 hour day.” She was hilarious and brought up several good points on how to reduce stress, stay on track, and get things accomplished. Among the helpful hints, she gave us a few websites to help us out. Wunderlist, Remember the Milk, and Toodledo were her recommendation. I’ve since started using Wunderlist and find it very helpful.
If you want to learn more about her she gave us her website:
