A Green Smoothie. (It actually tastes good…. who’d a thunk?.)

January 17, 2013 9 Comments

green smoothie, spinach, oranges, healthy

Many of you know that I don’t like veggies, but I am happy to report that I’ve been managing to get a little more of them these days.  (Does anyone else find it mildly hilarious that one of my most popular posts is on how to store fresh fruits and veggies…?) This green smoothie is […]

The easiest make ahead chicken, ever.

January 10, 2013 4 Comments

I am trying to eat more protein these days.  Handsome Hubby eats chicken and salsa almost every morning for breakfast.  The boys are eating more and more and more…. everything. What’s a girl to do? Well, one of the things is to make sure there’s plenty of chicken on hand and ready to eat.  This […]

Better skin, using items in your pantry.

Recently, I have been getting comments from people who have expressed surprise when they learned my age (45) or met Devin, my oldest son (20), saying that they thought I was much younger.   (Really!? Tell me more!)  While lifestyle and genetics certainly play a role, I want to share a couple of my “beauty tips” […]

A big evening out (for a great cause) at the Diamond and Pearl Ball.

October 24, 2012 5 Comments

My camera and my laptop have decided not to speak to each other at the moment.    As a result, I can’t share a couple of Halloween projects I am currently working on.  So I decided to share a charity event that HH and I attended recently. My BFF is the National Spokesperson for the […]

Summer’s here! How to choose a sunscreen.

June 12, 2012 14 Comments

Sunscreen. This isn’t anything new or earth-shattering… but I cannot, for the life of me, keep it straight.I figure that there might be other people like me, who for some reason can’t manage to retain this information.  Every year, I ask myself these same questions: What does SPF stand for…?  (And what do the different numbers […]

What a real Valentine looks like.

February 2, 2012 18 Comments

I’m sick today.  (Like ready to go into a NyQuil induced coma, Sick Today.) I should be posting Valentine’s Day crafts, or romantic gift ideas, etc.  Instead, here it is mid-day and I’m in sweats, have a nose like Rudolph’s and am feeling (and looking) about as romantic as the Church Lady. All this Valentine’s […]
