Running and fun are two words that rarely come out of my mouth in the same sentance. Unless the word NOT is present. However, today I did a 5K with some friends and had so much fun. Yes I said it, I had fun running. Now if you are sitting there thinking I actually ran…
Today is a rant. Why do we still follow daylight savings? I get why it used to be done due to daylight hours getting shorter and longer depending on the time of year, but still in this day and age? Does it really reduce electricity use? I highly doubt it since every freaking light gets…
My friend came out of her office the other day completely dumbfounded. “My daughter sent me a text asking where to put the stamp on the envelope” she told us still reeling from the question. Her daughter had never had to mail a letter before, either she had done it for her or she used…
Growing up I always thought my mom was invincible and that she could do anything. In fact she could do just about anything she was my mom and my dad, my brownie leader, my 4-H leader, my taxi driver, and she mothered all the kids in the neighborhood. She made the time to be room…
It’s strange how a scent can take you back to another place and time in the blink of an eye. The smell of Avon’s Roses Roses always makes me smile and think of my grandmother. As a kid I absolutely hated the smell of it and would wrinkle my nose and tell her so (yes…

It’s the end of the first week of my 8 week Paleo Challenge and all in all I’ve done well. So far my husband and kids haven’t had an issue with any of the menus. They haven’t really noticed the missing grains or dairy. Sugar hasn’t been an issue since we did away with it…
Well it’s almost 2:30 am here and I’m still awake planning my meals for the week! WTH?!?! I have to work tomorrow and I’m still sitting here laptop teetering on the arm of the couch. I’m trying to figure out who is going to be here and who isn’t and their likes and dislikes…ummmm wait…
Yesterday my friend had a mommy daughter day (you can read about it here Daily Venting & Exclamations) and her pictures made me think about my daughter. Since she moved out on her own last December we haven’t had very much time together without her dad or her brothers. As I sit here thinking about…
My post from yesterday (Bringing Back the 70’s) and getting ready for another Paleo challenge has me thinking about comfort food. Good thing the challenge is starting after the holidays because all but one of my comfort foods is a no no when eating a Paleo Diet. Mac and cheese, potato soup, oatmeal, and mashed…
