Did you know the word for mom begins with an "M" in the majority of languages? There's madre (Spanish), mère (French), mater (Latin), mama (Italian), mer (Vietnam), and mutter (German), to name just a few.
Whatever the foundations of the word itself, it's also a name. And it's one of the proudest and happiest names I have. From the moment I heard my daughter utter the first syllables remotely close to mama until today, I have been in love with the sound of it.

My latest Namely Marly podcast is with celebrated author and photographer, Karen Walrond. She authors a blog, Chookoloonks, where she parallels her stunning photography with her powerful words of insights about life. She is a contributor to the book Expressive Photography: A Shutter Sisters' Guide to Shooting from the Heart. And she’s even appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show talking about motherhood. She recently wrote a book called The Beauty of Different. Some come sit with me in a talk with Karen Walrond about names and living an inspired life!

We weren't impressed with the Huffington Post's article America’s Top 10 New Sandwiches featuring fatty meats oozing with artery clogging cheeses. So several vegan bloggers teamed together to create tasty and healthier versions of these cholesterol-laden sandwiches.
Today's post in the countdown is Sandwich #9, The Bulgogi Steak Sandwich, prepared, written, and photographed by Allyson Kramer at Manifest Vegan.

Looking for a sweet and easy treat for Valentine's Day? This recipe has it all. And it's vegan to boot! If only it came with a faster metabolism. But at least these are bite-size. That way you can fool yourself into thinking you're eating lots of them.
