Do you use your crockpot? Do you have one? Do you use an InstaPot? I don’t have one. This week, I worked hard on a meal plan. We are trying to save money. We are discovering that we overspend needlessly. We eat out way too often which isn’t good for our health OR our... Continue Reading →
Community – it’s a practice
I’ve been thinking a lot about community lately. Community, relationships, circles, sisterhoods… They are important to our lives. We need connection, we were created for connection - community. We have a friend that we have created community, well, really we created a new little family. We get together usually once a week or so. We... Continue Reading →
SNOW DAY!! ⛄️
So, we woke up to a beautiful blanket of WET snow… It was a total surprise. I didn’t see it coming. DH’s work usually puts out a weather alert the night before we get any kind of usual weather that might impede driving into work, but there was nothing… we were completely blindsided. I woke...

Healthy(ier) eating
I'm really trying to get my health going in the right direction again... one meal at a time. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy. You know what is easy? Running down the street to Culver's, or downtown for Mexican, or Italian... But... it's easier on my pocketbook and my cholesterol if I cook... Continue Reading →

A controversial discussion… sort of…

No, it's not politics and it's not religion either... well, that is unless, you make food your religion. Here it goes. Why is food such an important part of EVERYTHING? I mean I get it...

Christmas in July part 2
I don't know about you, but I've been needing a little escape from all the ... craziness in the world (well, mostly the United States). It's been overwhelming and exhausting. So the other DD and I took a Christmas break! Yep, we just did Christmas all day. We baked cookies, we ate cookies, we drank... Continue Reading →
A Big One…
I had a BIG birthday last month. Yep, I am now 50 years young. You may be thinking... "ahh... that's why she's been struggling!" Nope. That's not it. It's a million other things that I don't feel like I am able to share on this platform. Turning 50 has actually been great. In fact, it's... Continue Reading →
Soul Searching
The last few weeks, I've been kind of soul searching. Kind of trying to find myself again spiritually. I've been feeling a bit lost... not sure who I am, where I want to be, even what exactly I believe! This soul searching has moved me away from my computer, from social media. I've been reading,...
