I just could not imagine having that happen to you as a child.. to be removed from your home and having to wait until you could be adopted to have a stable environment. Those thoughts were in the back of my mind for a long time, I never really acted on them or even talked about it {Read More}

We are very different.. except that we are very strong willed. And that is not a pretty picture.. a bit like this, some days.. But you know what.. I’m learning. I’m learning to let my “agenda” go. I’m learning to see another side. I heard Heather T Forbes say recently {Read More}

Have you all read Dave Ramsey’s Book, The Total Money Makeover? I did, last year, and I loved it. My husband and I have a significant amount of debt and we really needed to get focused on stopping spending and paying it off as quickly as we could. Dave Ramsey was just the ticket for me to get that focus. He talks about being “gazelle intense” when it comes to paying off debt- and I am totally into that, my {Read More}

Mmm.. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cupcakes.. These little babies were AMAZING.. so worth the $4 price tag. I would go back to that place and spend $4 over and over to have them.

Who doesn’t LOVE chips? Chips are the best! It interesting, a while ago I listened to a show on NPR and they mentioned the science of why people like crispy things like chips. Come to find out, it’s hard wired into us! We get multi-sensory, including sound and mouth feel, enjoyment from them. Pretty cool, right.. and why most of us really like chips. So because of this when I got the opportunity to taste both these Green Giant™ Roasted {Read More}
