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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Friday. Who else is excited that it's Friday?! I should be packing because Miss Sunshine and I are heading to Richmond for a soccer tournament....but I have a tendency to wait until the last minute when it comes to packing. Remember how in last Friday's post, I mentioned that I had a day of [...]
Monthly Challenge. If you've been reading my blog for a while... ok... for a month... then you know that during my year of being 40 (which started a few weeks ago), I plan to challenge myself each month with a "30 days of...". I will make the announcement some days prior to the upcoming [...]
September 12, 1977. 2:41 p.m. Naples Community Hospital, Naples, Florida, USA. That would be the moment when I would make my grand entrance into this world. Today... I am 40. This age that felt so ancient in the days of my youth. This age that feels so young now that I am standing here. Hurricane [...]
Monthly Challenge. Yesterday I shared what I learned during my 30 days of no alcohol. As promised, today I'm announcing what my September "30 Days Of..." Challenge will be. 30 Days of no single use plastic shopping bags. Plastic Shopping Bags. Now before you roll your eyes, I did promise that this one [...]
This post has been updated as of March 24, 2025. There was also an update in 2020. As humans, most of us evolve and change over time. My views and experiences are no exception to that. Since this post is still being viewed *almost* 8 years later (which sometimes still boggles my mind), I think [...]
Friday. Edition 27. Happy Friday Everybody! I hope that you've had an amazing week so far. Mine has been pretty packed. We are on the countdown until school begins. Next Wednesday is the day. We did our big purge over the weekend. And while we definitely made massive headway (think... I can see the [...]
Friday. Edition 26. We're rolling into another weekend... the second one of August already! But before we get there, I'm sharing some of my faves this week. Back to School Shopping. Miss Sunshine and I did some school shopping. Back to school shopping for a female going into 8th grade is not for the [...]
