This is a sad, sad day. Because my vacation is over. =C Well, I suppose all good things must come to an end- but I’m not looking forward to seeing my inbox at work after being out for a few days. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! The last Sweet Sharing Monday had a recordRead more
Well hello out there in bloggyland! I’m speaking to you from a disembodied scheduled post this time. Yeah, I knew I wouldn’t be around today so as soon as the party ended yesterday I plopped down like an oh-so-good blogger and prepped this post! So, while I’m here, I’m not *really* here. Anyhoo- can youRead more
Off and on I’ve lightly discussed my over-grooming tendencies. Essentially, I have a compulsion when dealing with stress where I over critique and “groom” my skin. Usually by way of scratching/picking pimples and blackheads on my face. The official name is dermatillomania. Sometimes until it hurts. Its shameful, and I’m reminded of my own badRead more
What day is it? Its TUESDAY! That means tomorrow is WEDNESDAY! And THAT means I am outta here! I cannot wait to pack up and go out into the wilderness. It might rain, it might be chilly, I might get eaten alive by bugs but IT WILL BE FUN! I think I just need aRead more
I know that usually around this time I go on some rant about how I am not ready for Monday. And, most of the time that is true. But this weekend, I’m looking forward to it. =D You see, Monday means I’m one day closer to Wednesday. And Wednesday after work I’m packin up andRead more
Can I just take a minute to say that I love Chocolate Covered Katie? I’ve made many of her recipes, and my favorite so far has been the healthy cookie dough dip. The basic concept of these dips (she has a couple) is to use garbanzo beans as a base and add your ingredients toRead more
Happy Friday everyone! I know I’m super excited because this weekend I get to prepare for a 5 day camping vacation! Hubby and I will be roughin’ it with NO electricity with my whole family for at least 4 nights. I’m so excited to go tubing, bike riding, swimming, and just generally relax. So, aRead more
Today I have the distinct honor of co-hosting Its a Keeper Thursday from Its a Keeper! I link up to this party every week- and its super nice to be able to host! Linky parties are the type of thing that just makes me smile. I’ve often said that the blogging world – particularly theRead more
Last week I spent some time in self reflection in the Who I Want To Be post. Since then, I have been working to make good decisions in regard to my diet, exercise and blemish control. I’m happy to say that so far I’m doing good! I use LiveStrong.com to track my daily progress andRead more
Happy Tuesday! The day too far away from Friday to be truly celebrated, but still brighter and cheerier than Monday! Its really like the second-to-last chosen kid in gym class. Everyone will take a Tuesday before a Monday, but we’d all prefer ourselves a good ol’ Friday, Saturday or Sunday if we’re honest about it.Read more
Oh my goodness is it already that time? I’m not ready for a new week. Not ready at all. I’ve been a busy bee around the house this weekend, and that leaves me feeling like I had little time for myself. I did, however get a minute to do a little self mani/pedi, put onRead more
I’m an ice cream purist. Very rarely do I ever like chunks of things in my creamy confections. I avoid chocolate chunks, candy and nuts in my ice cream and even strawberry seeds in my smoothies! But, when I was little my family lived by a country store. They specialized in Hudsonville ice cream (madeRead more
