Splenda Swapstakes! I am so excited to share with you #SplendaSwaps! It’s nearly 2022 and every year I shout to the rooftops “New Year, New You!”  And that quickly lasts for about two weeks. Personally, I have an all or nothing mentality.  If one of the laundry lists of items I declare I am going to get done that day don’t all get done?  Well...

If I were to search my blog and see how many times I’ve said “hit the reset button!” or “the switch is now on!” I would probably have a million dollars and could have retired by now.  But, such is the case.  Since working from home and so close to my kitchen, I’ve been making all the things.  The only problem with that is that...

This past weekend my step-son and his wife were in town from Texas.  It was ironic that this same weekend on my TimeHop was a picture of Joe and Hannah – Joe was a sophomore in high school and Hannah was graduating 8th grade. FIFTEEN YEARS!  It’s hard to believe that much time has gone by.  And how things have changed.  Both are married now. ...

This weekend stores started opening up again.  Hannah and Jacob are closing on their house tomorrow, and they don’t have any living room furniture.  I offered to start their living room by buying them a new couch as a housewarming gift. We went to Bob’s Discount Warehouse and was surprised not only with the selection but the prices as well.  After sitting in at least...

It seems weird to say welcome to my blog, because in September it will be 13 years old, but it’s been a very long time since I did a bit of a reintroduction to me and my blog.  I have new subscribers from Instagram, so I thought now would be a good time to fill you in on everything you need to know.  I am...

I was diagnosed with diabetes quite by accident.  The law firm I was working at had a health fare, and my boss hadn’t been to the doctors office in over 25 years.  I was 32 years old, and while overweight, I thought I was in okay health. A month before this health fare, my sister asked if we could do Weight Watchers together. To tell...

After today I will be working remotely.  I am so looking forward to it.  Not only because I think I can be more productive without the daily distractions – people stopping by my desk to chat on and off throughout the day, etc.  I tell Hannah all the time that I love my job when I get to do what I want to do -ha!...

Bavette's in River North Chicago is an amazing restaurant. Awesome food, awsome service, $$$$, worth it, make reservations in advance!

Last week I reached out to one of my friends that I used to work with at The Chopping Block.  She hadn’t posted anything on Instagram for months.  Turns out she has a new job at a place called World of Whirlpool.  It’s literally 5 blocks from my office and I never even heard of it! Before I even walked in I thought “did Hannah...
