Book: The reviews for “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo are quite amusing. Here are the major points of the book. I like how they are highlighted in bold. That way I can just read the bold font and skip over the rest 🙂 Let’s start with one of the funniest …
Exercise/Diet Update: How I lost 5 pounds this week. I know many readers here have subscribed or came from my “How I lost 33 Pounds…” blog post that went live on Money Saving Mom last year in July.. It’s been a strange year to say the least. I gained 5 pounds – which I …
Book: I started reading “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr. It is one of those books on Amazon with 5000 reviews. Scratch that – it now has over 8,000 reviews with almost 5 stars! Recipe: This recipe is a healthier version of beef stew from America’s Test Kitchen. Adding a lot of …
These bowls are just too fun and cute! I love being able to eat my bowl and soup at the same time. Squash is everywhere this time of year and makes a great soup. Need a shortcut? Trader Joe’s and most other grocery stores sell butternut squash soup in those cardboard containers. That way you …
Below I have a summary of updates, a product review and recipe for my new FAVORITE side dish right now: Cauliflower Popcorn! Update: Boy, do I have some cool crafts waiting for the blog! This summer we made chalkboard coasters from the 2 cent tiles at Lowes and pom pom flowers out of $2 tissue …

Book Update: The “new books” section of the library is right by checkout. Since I have had the kids nonstop for… 3 months now… I’m not able to really preview anything there. I grab my books at the library and hope for the best! Like clothes at Old Navy or bras at Victoria Secret. Or …
Book Update: This month’s book club book is “Skeletons on the Zahara” by Dean King. It is a true story of a twelve American sailors who shipwrecked onto the west coast of Africa in 1815. Almost 5 stars on Amazon as well. I’ve been perusing my old Good Eats books (Volumes 1, 2 and 3 …
Here is a photo of me and my daughter right before “Oklahoma!” She got a little wet playing in the sink while I did my hair and make-up. Book Update: I finished “Why Calories Count” and found it a great companion to “The End of Overeating” in that it goes more into studies about what …
