Footsteps , a photo by Rubber Dragon on Flickr. For 2012 I focused on increasing the number of steps I walked each day. I made an effort to drink more water and to make the healthiest food choices available. I was able to move from the sedentary hospital visitor of January and February to an…
Izze, a photo by Artisan All Unwound on Flickr. Have you heard of Izze? It’s a juice and sparkling water drink. A fruit soda, without any added sugars. I bought some as a treat for my kids the other day and it was a good thing I did. When we came I home I decided…
This is the second update on the Slow Cooker Freezer Meals that I pinned to my Pinterest “Recipes to Try” Board. Read “Slow Cooker Freezer Meals Part One” if you’d like to start at the beginning. All of these meals, like the ones in “Slow Cooker Freezer Meals Part Two,” defrosted in the fridge for…
I’m still pinning recipes to my Pinterest Recipes to Try board, and I’m still pinning some twice! 🙂 I’m also trying them out as I have time. Here are a couple I tried recently. First up are these Egg Bacon Muffins that use ingredients I already had in my refrigerator. How could I resist trying…
I’ve heard that commercial construction is on the rise. But this sign has been up for about 6 months and no building has been started.

I made more of an effort to wear my pedometer daily in October. I wore it for 27 out of 31 days. Unfortunately my life was very hectic and I wasn’t able to focus on increasing my steps walked per day. I was aware of my steps though because I made it a priority to…
As I’ve said before, a great way to save money is to eat meals at home. I don’t mean eat Take Out at home! 😉 I mean cook it yourself. Sometimes that seems nearly impossible because of how hectic our lives can be. I have been spending a lot of time in the car driving,…
Are your pantry and freezer well stocked? If so you already have most of the ingredients for this recipe. I always have pasta and a jar of spaghetti sauce in my pantry, and I buy raw Zucchini every week because we really like it. 🙂 Zucchini are the green squash that you see in the…
I’ve had more days where I’ve forgotten to wear my pedometer these two months. But I’m still trying to keep track of my steps every day. For August I managed to wear my pedometer for a full 22 days. I continued to exercise regularly in August and my average number of steps per day was…
