1. Plants on sale I was shopping at Kroger, and they had a shopping cart of plants on sale that were a part of their holiday gift section. I found two cute planters with a healthy succulent in each for just $2. **They also had orchids for $6, but I am practicing keeping the easier… Continue reading Frugal Things
2022 Goal Updates Week 1
Walk 500 miles this year (10 miles down, 490 to go) We had the dreaded Covid right between Christmas and the New Year, so our holiday week was not so fun. But thanks to vaccines, getting the Omicron variant, and general good health, none of us suffered too much. All this to say.....I managed (between… Continue reading 2022 Goal Updates Week 1
2022 Goals
Listing goals to work on for the upcoming New Year has been part of my routine for the past few years on the blog. I will have to say that putting my goals on a public site and keeping you guys updated regularly on my successes and failures has really helped me. Looking back over… Continue reading 2022 Goals
2021 Goal Updates (Week 51)
Walk 500 miles this year (510 miles walked!!!) I blew through this goal early! This is by far one of the best things I do for myself each year. It keeps my back strong (herniated discs are bummers) and my weight (kinda) in check. **Thank you to Bodyfit by Amy for giving me fun options… Continue reading 2021 Goal Updates (Week 51)
The Best Books I read in 2021
One of the things I did new this year was to record every book I read and assign them star ratings. I am currently up to 98 books for the year (with a couple of weeks left until 2022, I hope to soar past the 100 mark) I wish I could go back in time… Continue reading The Best Books I read in 2021
Frugal Things
Free Groceries I came home from church a few weeks ago to two bags of groceries on my doorstep. Bewildered we looked for a sticker or a receipt to figure out who it belonged too, but there was nothing in or on the bags. So I messaged Instacart (and posted on our community Facebook page)… Continue reading Frugal Things
Things I am loving lately
Thieves oil We have had ongoing colds for the past three months now. Is everyone experiencing this?? To try and knock it out of our systems, I made up a batch of thieves oil this week. We have been applying it nightly and diffusing it during the day. Not sure if its working but it… Continue reading Things I am loving lately
2021 Goal Updates (Week 49)
Walk at least 500 miles this year (487 miles walked and 13 left to go) I've mostly been doing BodyFit by Amy videos on Youtube because Emma is still recovering from a challenging wisdom tooth surgery and then got hit with a cold on the sixth day so I didn't want to leave her to… Continue reading 2021 Goal Updates (Week 49)
My Week (12.1.2021)
What I've been reading: Never Let Me Go was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The story is so eerie because it could totally happen today. The book follows a group of friends who are a part of a program that grows organs for other people by cloning "donors". Sadly the… Continue reading My Week (12.1.2021)

I am… Continue reading A Year of Picture Books (October/November)
