With the world glued to events across the world in Egypt, it’s hard to avoid thinking about the what ifs. Our own country is having its own problems, how much would it take to throw us into a similar spotlight? Needless to say, it’s easy to get bogged down in things like this. On one …

When life really wears on me, I need to step back, disconnect, and just lay low with my family. This past week was a challenging one. We have some health concerns in my family and this past Friday marked the one year since my father in law, Brodie, lost his battle with Leukemia. It seems …
A good morning I could get used to waking up at 8am. But then Frankie might gnaw off my ankles and then what would I do? I’ve been working on some of my landing pages, specifically, my recipe page. On several occasions, I would try to look up a blog recipe and have to …
Since I’ve put my life on hold for the past 3 days, and the last game of college football is coming to the end, this is a good time to catch up on the past few days of cooking, working out, living, and maybe some snow whining..maybe. Tomorrow is another snow day and you should …

Well, we are back at Baptist hospital. This time, it was for my Grandma’s surgery. Now, Grandma hasn’t been in the hospital since gallbladder surgery in the 60’s. But this is a much needed surgery to improve quality of life and she didn’t have much choice in the matter. I was fortunate that I was …
Usually around the start of a new year, I don’t make hard and fast resolutions. I try to get re-organized and do some massive cleaning. In the back of my head, I have some goals for myself like run more/better, keep the laundry under control, stick to my diet, etc, but nothing too hard or …
