Gratitude for Music. Today is Day 11 of my December challenge. I have pondered each daily prompt of gratitude. And I have taken photos. I have shared little snippets on my Instagram story. And I have journaled. I collected ideas and thoughts and felt grateful for this amazing thing called life. When I came to [...]

What I Learned From 30 Days Of Preparing A New Recipe Each Day
November Challenge. Phew! I made it through my November Challenge. At the end of 30 days, I prepared a total of 36 "new to me" recipes. I found this challenge to be...well...challenging. I'm busy running a household and raising three teenagers and trying to keep a puppy from demolishing every scrap of paper or [...]
Recipes Tried In November – Round 4
November Recipes. I still can't believe that I have completed the process of making 26 "new to me" recipes. Only 4 more days to go! I was talking to my mom the other day and I told her that I thought I would crush my November Challenge. Her response was, "and do you know why?". [...]
30 Days of… December Challenge
Monthly Challenge. Can you believe that it's almost December?! Given that my November Challenge was a cumbersome undertaking, I thought that I'd take on an easier challenge for December. Holiday time tends to make life a little more chaotic as well. Right?! Commercialism tends to take so much away from the season that I've decided [...]

Recipes Tried In November -Round 2
November Recipes. This round of recipes that I tried for my November Challenge were more along the easy-peasy lines. If you miss round 1 of recipes, you can find that here. In Friday’s post, I talked about how insane my week decided to be. Yet somehow, I did manage to try out a new [...]
What I Learned From 30 Days Of Meditation
30 Days Of Meditation. That was the goal for my October Challenge. Contemplation. As this post goes to print, I will have or will be completing my 43rd consecutive day of meditating. My main thought as I contemplate the experience is... Why didn’t I start this sooner? Oh, I had the litany of regular [...]
Recipes Tried in November – Round 1
November Challenge. Even though we are only 6 days into November, I'm still excited that my November Challenge is going well. Since my review of making a recipe a day would be a rather cumbersome read at the end of 30 days, I thought that I'd break it into smaller posts and fill you [...]
30 Days Of…November Challenge
Monthly Challenge. Challenges. Life is full of them. Some we don't ask for. Others we invite, in order to help us grow. If you saw Saturday's post, then you already know that Miss Sunshine woke up ill for her 14th birthday. In fact, today she's home from school and still ill. On top of that...it's [...]
What I Learned from 30 Days Of No One-Time Use Plastic Shopping Bags
September Challenge. Remember that September Challenge? Remember how I said that I would crush that challenge? Well I did! C'mon, you really had no doubts in my ability. I made that first challenge super easy. Most of us have been using reusable shopping bags for more than a decade. Myself included. The hubby even climbed [...]
