Victories, Defeats & Christmas in April
I’ll start off with the victories. I made it through the first block (4 weeks) of P90x. I can already see and feel improvements in my fitness and have lost some pounds and inches. I’m going for walks with my family and teaching my six year old how to play tennis. I’m finding some balance, […]
Polenta & Veggie Stuffed Red Peppers
I decided today to share one of my favorite recipes of late…polenta & veggie stuffed red peppers. And they are around 275 calories for an entire pepper! Now, I’ve never been a huge fan of peppers…until I overlooked the price tag and bought red, orange and yellow peppers. Oh my. They are sweet and delicious […]
Another “Crafternoon” & More Stuff for Lucketts
Back in August, I spent an afternoon crafting or a “crafternoon” with Emily… …and we made a herringbone cork board for her jewelry. (She’s such a cute, teeny-tiny thing, isn’t she?)

A look at my stash…
Last week I worked on organizing all of the junk (and good stuff) in my basement. I then worked on sorting and pricing and ended up with two main piles. One is the pile of stuff that I need to do something to – paint, upholster, fix, etc… The other main pile is stuff that […]
Minimizing Miss Mustard Seed
As I mentioned in THIS POST, I’m making some changes in my life to be healthier and lose some weight. I owned up to gaining 30 lbs since I started blogging. I didn’t gain weight because of the blog. I gained weight because I didn’t make my health a high priority. That changed last August […]
