Wishing all the mom's out there a very special day.

Wishing You a Very Prosperous and Happy New Year!

I can't quite remember how I came across this book, but after reading a brief description about it, I was hooked. I'm only 195 pages into it so far and already it's putting me into the mindset of eating healthy, eating "clean". I needed a way to revitalize my love for food, we've had a love hate for so many years now. The guilt of eating this not that and all those fad diets of eating more protein and no carbs has really played havoc on my relationship with food. So far I'm really liking what I'm reading, it just makes sense.  I'll write more about it as I get further into it, but I highly recommend reading it! 

How To Store Fruits and Vegetables to Keep them From Rotting

Ever wonder how to store your veggies and fruit so they will last longer?  Thanks to Pinterest I found this great site that tells you exactly how.

It's been a while since I've Blogged, very sorry for that but I hope to make it up to you with today's post.

I made this tonight for dinner:

You can find the link here for the recipe Shrimp Quesadillas with Tomato Avocado Salsa. It was so darn good, even the kids loved it!  My oldest son who hates anything green loved the avocado mixture inside. 

Be sure to check out all the other wonderful recipes that Skinny Taste has to offer!

If you picked mostly A's from each group you are a Winter.

If you picked mostly B's from each group you are a Summer.

If you picked mostly C's from each group you are a Fall/Autumn.

If you picked mostly D's from each group you are a Spring.

"Winter": Winters should wear colors that are sharp, stark and clear. White, black, navy blue, red and shocking pink all go well with winter complexions. For lighter colors, wear icy tones rather than pastels. Avoid subdued tones like beige, orange and gold.

"Summer": Summers should choose pastels and soft neutrals with rose and blue undertones. Lavender, plum, rose-brown and soft blue suit summers well while black and orange do not.

"Autumn": Autumns should select colors with golden undertones, like camel, beige, orange, gold and dark brown. Avoid colors with blue tones, like navy.

"Spring": Springs can wear warm colors like camel, peach, golden yellow and golden brown. Avoid dark, dull colors.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I love smiling, it's my way of saying I'm thrilled to be alive.

Isn't that the truth!

Gung ho for the holidays

I know it's only the start of November but for some reason I'm really looking forward to getting prepared for the holidays this year. It's still way to early to deck the house but I've already begun thinking about how I'll be decorating and I've already started some of my Christmas shopping. If you know me, this is very unusual, I'm always the one doing last minute gift shopping and last minute mailing of gifts to friends and family. This may be because business wise this is the busiest time of year for me and it's rush this and that. I'm really hoping to be able to take it all in this year and enjoy prepping for the holidays. How about you?

Happy Halloween!!!

Wishing you all a safe and fun Halloween!
