No Spend January!!!
Okay, I am back with a vengeance. We looked at model homes again a few days ago (sans kids, so we could REALLY look) and I’m even more motivated to save as much in 2012 as possible. I’m not sure we’ll end up going with a new build, but it was a reconnaissance mission and boy,…

Getting Organized | DVDs, etc.
This is the first installment in my 2012 “Get Organized” Challenge. Happy New Year!! I’m always on a quest to purge and be more organized but there are a bunch of small projects that I’ve put off for years, figuring I would have to finish more important projects first. I decided last week, “who says…

Gettin’ my bread on 🙂
Ah, my new bread machine arrived today and I love it! I’ll try to do a full review soon but for now I’ll just share what I made. First I made a white rolls recipe from my Betty Crocker bread book. Everyone went crazy for them and out of 18, there are ZERO left! The…

The best thing since sliced bread!
Well hello, handsome! This isn’t my first bread-maker; it’s actually my third. He’s actually not even here yet–but my friends over at Amazon say he’ll be here tomorrow. Squeee!! I cannot wait to make all sorts of numminess in this machine–I have a KitchenAid but the bread-maker takes out just enough of the steps to…

There’s something about music…
I don’t know what it is! Maybe it’s because I’m pretty musical myself (it’s a little-known secret that I love to sing and I play several instruments) but good music really lifts my spirits like nothing else can! I’ve noticed over the past few days I get little rushes of joy and “everything will be…

Our Daily Bread
I’ve had my new bread machine for a few weeks now and my family is loving having warm, homemade bread or rolls on a daily basis. To say that we love bread is an understatement. My husband and youngest son are probably most often found stalking the bread machine–they can detect even the fainstest aroma…

Whitman’s Candy ~ Sugar-Free
Um, yum. I really like these. No, I LOVE these. Wow. Really? <stops to lick fingers> Where was I? Oh, that’s right. I ordered two kinds of Weight Watchers candy, by Whitman’s. Whomever developed these little disks of goodness knew what s/he was doing, I”ll tell you that. I got the “Mint Patties” and “Double…

It’s not easy…
…not being cheesy. So I’m craving cheese balls. Maybe I should have started trying to eat better after I had them. Meh. Carb withdrawal is so not fun. Even a huge grocery shopping trip hasn’t left me enough healthy, filling, points-friendly options. I’ve been headachey, grouchy and shaky-hungry feeling all day. Oh well, tomorrow will…

I can’t believe June is almost here!
It’s starting to get too hot to play at the park in the early evening, but we went Sunday evening around 6pm and as soon as the sun fell behind the horizon, it was quite comfortable. At least for those us [me] who weren’t running around like crazy. 🙂 There even was a slight breeze;…
