It’s been a week since Thanksgiving, and I don’t know about you . . . but I’m sick of eating turkey. I’m a stickler for eating leftovers first, but one can only eat so much potato filling and cranberry sauce, right? While I was at Wal-Mart doing some holiday shopping, I got a chance to check [...]
With Ben working second shift, lunchtime has become the “main” meal in our household. Usually I eat leftovers or cereal for dinner during the week, but lunchtime I like sharing a hot meal with him. Unfortunately, we always seem to have to cram a TON of things into our day before he heads off to [...]
As someone with diabetes and pcos, salads are one of my easy dinner staples, because they’re quick. low-carb, high fiber meal choices that are as variable as the contents of your fridge. Considering my love of Autumn flavors in salads, when Collective Bias recently challenged a handful of bloggers and myself to create healthy and [...]
About a month and a half ago, Ben and I upgraded our mattress from a Queen to a King. The new bed is a fantastic, but we underestimated the sheer mass of it, and our bedroom has been in major disarray ever since. So when I got a chance for coupons to try out GE [...]
I’d like to think I’m a pretty good friend with good intentions. Unfortunately I am also incapable of remembering other peoples’ schedules. So with my friend’s 47th birthday coming up in a week, I decided I would make her an awesome Fall-themed birthday cake. After a few minutes (okay, a few hours. There’s some sort [...]
With Easter being only two days away, Ben and I took a trip to https://www.kmart.com this week to shop for our Godson’s (aka, Little Dude) gift. We had the chance to participate in the #KmartEaster Build-a-Basket challenge, which was to make your own basket of goodies for $30. Before we went shopping, I got [...]
Last week I had an opportunity to do a 5 day challenge with #DialNutriSkin, to get my skin ready for Spring. As someone who’s dealt with extremely dry skin my entire life, I have probably tried every lotion under the sun. I’ve bought expensive stuff, cheap stuff, all-organic, homemade, etc. You name it, I’ve tried [...]
For as long as I can remember, I have considered myself to be a feminist. But, it wasn’t until my college internship at the university’s women’s center, that I really understood what that meant, to me. What I found was love and support – for any man, woman, or child who walked in those doors. [...]
When you sign the pledge to support the survivors of domestic violence on BraveWoman.org, you can download a copy of Jana Stanfield’s song, “If I Were Brave”. The song starts out with these lyrics: “What would I do if I knew that I could not fail? If I believed, would the wind always fill up [...]
This weekend, I finally got a chance to set up all of our new holiday table decor from Kmart, so I thought I’d take some photos to show how it all came together. My little sister had spent the night so I put her to work getting the centerpieces together. The centerpieces came as a [...]
