    My Favorite Instant Pot Recipes

    February 9, 2018 /

    Instant pot! What a God send! I have recently seen so much hype about the instant pot and I had to share my story with you.

About three years ago, I was watching TV one day and I came across an infomercial for a pressure cooker.  The infomercial was so good I ended up buying one.  Anything that promises me to have a delicious dinner done in half (or more) of the time is perfect in my book! I received it and immediately started cooking up a storm.  Since…

    Our Journey with Dog Arthritis

There’s nothing more heart wrenching than seeing someone you love in pain. That’s how I feel when I see Pickle hobbling around from her dog arthritis, walking so slow and taking breaks just on the way to go outside. Pickle has had both ACLs in her back legs repaired. She was also a very active puppy, and she has moderate dog arthritis in her right shoulder and severe dog arthritis in her left shoulder. It’s been like this for a couple of years and I believe her Cushing’s disease…

For more information, please see my disclosure page. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I got a little too fluffy when I was pregnant.  I’ve lost most of the “baby weight” but I’m not at a weight that I’m happy with, so off to Weight Watchers™ I went.  At the time, they had recently started a new program called Weight Watchers Freestyle™, and I have to say, I like it.  I thought it would be difficult when I first started…

    My Favorite Mindfulness Practices

    January 30, 2018 /

    I’m an anxious person, and have been most of my life.  Read about my journey with anxiety and how I’ve beat with without medication, and how mindfulness is such a big part of my journey. I wanted to dive deeper into that. Mindfulness is being present in the moment.  Often life gets us so worked up and it’s hard to focus on the present moment.  We’re thinking about what projects are due at work at the end of the week, we’re thinking about what bills need to be paid, and we’re thinking about things around the house that need to be completed.  We’re worried about the future all the time. …

Well, except for 5th grade, when I was the tallest kid in my class.  Yeah, that didn’t last long.  I get it from my mom.  She’s short too, and continues to shrink.  I remember from a young age watching her pin her pant legs so she could sew them to create a new hem.  She’d be sitting on the couch, pinning, watching 20/20 or something of the sort.  Well, now here I am as an adult, sitting on the couch, pinning, watching The Real Housewives…
