I’m going to paint my bedroom. Â Honestly, I am at some point. Â I always get a little overwhelmed before a painting project because there seem to be so many steps to the process. Â I’ve painted many, many rooms in my time, but I still find myself starting and stopping because I’ve forgotten some important step …
My daughter is hilarious and she has this bit she does about soccer moms named Deborah and Barbara who go to PTA meetings and bake sales. Â Apparently, they also eat gluten free and are obsessed with Quinoa. Â So, now I’m officially one of her soccer moms because I’m officially obsessed with Quinoa. Â I also like …
The hardest thing for me sticking to a gluten free diet is not getting to eat desserts like cookies, brownies and cakes. In order to not eat those things and avoid feeling crappy, I have to have an option to eat something that is sweet and delicious enough to distract me from the seductive cookies. …
Valentine’s Weekend was no friend to me when it comes to the old diet. I ate pizza and cheeseburgers and many, many chocolates. But, I can’t blame all of the cheating on Valentine’s Day. The big problem for me with my diet is not being prepared with good food on hand to eat. This week, …
My sweet daughter is eleven, which means she is about 29 years away from celebrating Valentine’s Day with a real Valentine. In the meantime, I’m throwing her an awesome Tween Galentines Party. On a Dime. Because, let’s face it, we just had Christmas. ***Funny aside, my daughter and I just tried doing the math for that …

This model is the Fitbit Flex. They generally sell for $99.95. I got mine from Groupon for $59.99. (If …
I have a small problem with follow through. I went out of my way last year to declare that it was going to be the year of the Bedroom. I cozied up one little corner and I literally did nothing else. In fact, I’ve since borrowed the items I cozied up the corner with and …
I have a fantastic recipe to share with you today for a gluten free dessert that is actually delicious. I usually tend to stick with recipes that don’t require using a flour substitute, like this fudge or these muffins, but this one does and it totally works! I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 …
I completed the last week of the Bone Broth Diet and this is my final update.  When I say I “completed” week three of the Diet, I mean that 3 weeks have passed since I started the diet and so therefore I completed the diet.  I cheated a lot, though.  Even with the cheating, I still lost a total of 9 lbs! I’m …
