I like so many others, have to store off season clothes due to space. For years and years this task would seem impossible and I would dread it.
Taking the clothes off the hangers, putting them in a box. Then taking the new clothes out of the box, put them on a hanger, repeat.
A couple years ago I had an “AHA!” moment. It seems to silly now but it totally has made my life worth while and will take me all of 30 minutes to change my summer clothes to winter today. Continue reading
This is straining my positive vibes big time as we have to head back to the vet again today. It has been 6 days of utter “heck” in our house and I am feeling the tension and I so need to release it!
Look at that poor dog’s face? Now that the pancreatitis is almost over, 6 days later and she still limps a bit, now she has a “hot spot” underneath her neck that will NOT stop bleeding. There is one little pore that no matter what you do to it it just bleeds, bleeds, and bleeds. It is not like it even bleeds a lot but just enough to make me worry and it soaks through anything and everything. Continue reading
This made me laugh and I need something to make me smile this morning so I am making a quick post about it.
The other day my daughter and I were driving in the car and a rap song came on the radio station and my daughter says, “Mom, do you like rat music?”
I said, well I like some rap music but I have never heard of rat music, did your dad have you listen to an older group named Rat?”
She says “Mom, this is rat music on the radio right now.”
Me “Oh sweetheart you are too funny, it’s called Rap music.”
Her, “Mom, it’s called Rat!”
Me: “Again sweet heart, it is Rap music, you just heard it wrong, it sounds like Rat but it’s Rap. Continue reading
My dog has been “off” the last couple days and yesterday I took her to the vet. There is something really wrong and I won’t know until today what it is. I did get to bring her home but she is lethargic and sad and more then anything…hurts. I did not get her in early enough yesterday so they have to do all her tests today. My poor dog! She is my girl and it is killing me not to know what is going on with her.
I guess I am posting this because this is putting a huge damper in my positive outlook today. She looks so sad, it’s killing me! 9:00 is not getting here fast enough. To try and kill some time by blogging as I am not able to sleep. I am thinking too much! Continue reading
So my newest at home workout venture is Turbo Fire. I have been doing it 4 weeks now and have finally sat down to post about it.
It has been busy around here with my daughter starting Kindergarten so the blog posts have been less:( Maybe next year when she goes more then 2.5 hours a day, I will feel the satisfaction of having some Mommy time during the son’s nap.
I will break down the workouts in future posts but wanted to report my stats, as they are pretty exciting! Continue reading
Today was a good day. Well it was a not so good morning but it ended up being good.
See…I have been having arguments with my husband over the past 2 years about our daughter’s bedtime. He thinks since she does not have to get up early that she should be able to stay up. My argument is that kids need to go to bed at a decent time because they need more sleep. He does not see the tired fits in the morning, even if she sleeps in til 9am, so he just never got it.
Today he got it…YES he got it! Continue reading

Have you seen the movie called Date Night? If not, I would recommend it. It holds a dear place in my heart, as the husbands bad habit in the movie, matches one of my hubby’s habits.
Leaving his doors open, the kitchen cupboards open! You name it, he does not shut it!
In the movie the wife walks into the open cupboards and drawers all the time. It so happened I watched this movie with my hubby and every time I would say, “see it hurts!”
This picture of his dresser was taken AFTER the movie, so obviously he did not get it.
I even tested him! Go to page 2 at the bottom of the post to read how I did this.
I love tacos and have tried over the past couple years of my healthy journey to figure out how I can eat them, frequently and not feel guilty. Tacos can be very unhealthy and I LOVE Mexican food so I was NOT going to stop eating them. I have found that making my taco meet a few ways to do this.
I have started growing my own herbs and a lot of them. In fact I grow 10 and next year will add a few more to the mix. I have found that making taco meet and flavoring with herbs is “key” when needing to cut down the sodium. I add whatever comes to mind and I have a taste for at the time. Then I add some cayenne pepper and Chile powder. This allows me to get away from using the prepackaged seasoning, which is mostly salt.
Instead of using grown beef I use ground turkey. I do not like the turkey that has mostly white meat though. On the fat ratio I think it is 97/5 and I buy the 85/15 one. So it is not quite as good, fat and calorie wise then the 97 but still a whole lot better than beef. If I use the 85/15 meat then it does not taste like turkey. Continue reading
I was born and bred (till age 13) in Canada and still visit yearly. I had to share this awesome new comparison shopping website with my fellow Canadian family and friends.
I just ran across this web site Canada Post and I just spent the last thirty minutes reading about them and looking at different products to compare and found it rather informative. In fact they will help you compare the best prices for lot’s of merchandise. Check out the comparison for motorcycle parts. It gives you a bunch of buying options. This is one product of many you can search to compare.
Another thing that I know bothers a lot of people I know, up in the beautiful land of Canada (Hi Grandma!) is that most shopping websites are geared to US dollars and they have to go through the trouble of all the conversion formulas in order to find out what they are “really” going to pay. This Canada Post is already in Canadian dollars so finally a website that gears itself to the Canadian population and you won’t have to convert from US to Canadian currency.
Now not every store is Canadian owned, if fact you can also browse many US stores too, but you get to see what you will pay in Canadian dollars so that is another huge perk.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my Canadian heritage with you and pass the word along. I may not live in Canada anymore but still have a ton of Canadian Pride!
Have a great day!
