As your schedule gets busier it’s important to eat healthy while on the run. It’s not always necessary to pick up take-out or heat frozen processed foods in the oven to feed yourself and your family. Cooking fresh ingredients can be done as quickly as tossing things into a pan and tossing the pan in…… Continue reading Gearing Up for Back to School and a Full Schedule
I recently watched a short video-poem about turning off the devices and social media to truly live life in person. I thought, ‘yes, this man has a great point’! I think I’ll try it sometime but not today, I need my smart phone, I need to stay connected. Less than 24 hours my smartphone crashed due…… Continue reading On Being Disconnected
I went on an overnight girl’s getaway to the King Arthur Flour Co. in Vermont a few weeks ago and we had a great time. King Arthur Flour has a nice big assortment of gluten free items for those who need it or desire it; they also have a nice little restaurant with many healthy…… Continue reading Life Doesn’t Come with a Remote, You Have to Get Up and Change It!
We all know how to juggle – maybe not in the circus clown sense but in the sense of life’s responsibilities we do. Some juggle better than others and that’s perfectly normal; no two of us are exactly alike and that is what makes us all uniquely special. Some of us juggle household & family responsibilities,…… Continue reading Juggling & Keeping Up the Pace
From a very young age we all, men included, had an idea of what our lives might look like when we grew up. We had dreams of what job we would be doing and those characters changed as we changed, as our lives changed. For some of us those dreams were just that, dreams -…… Continue reading When the Life You Imagined Isn’t the Life You’re Living
Ryan chose to cook tonight, kind of a last-minute decision because he wanted to make cabbage soup that he saw on the internet. The weather today has been very cold, low 20’s, with a few hours of light snow flurries so of course a warming homemade soup was welcomed! This is how his version of the recipe came…… Continue reading Ryan’s Night to Cook
Albert Einstein has been quoted saying, ” Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” What is Webster’s definition of insanity? Deranged or unsound state of mind, unreasonableness or something utterly foolish. Do these two definitions agree with the other? I believe they do. I’d like to add my little thought,…… Continue reading The Same Routine Gives the Same Results
While talking with a friend the other day I was asked if I have regrets about a path I chose which ultimately put my big picture goal at least two years behind. I answered without having to think long about the question, “no, I have no regrets”. I have no regrets due to many reasons such…… Continue reading Regrets? No, I won’t waste today on regrets!
There is an Italian proverb, “between saying and doing many a pair of shoes is worn out”. We are all guilty of this at one time or another and I suppose that’s just human nature. For some though, it’s normal behavior. Too often excuses are made and they’re made in such a way excuses sound like…… Continue reading Between Saying and Doing
I love books. I love reading. I’m most often guilty of reading several books at the same time-well, not exactly together but no doubt in the same day or hour. I own a kindle, it was given to me as a gift and I love it! This brings me to my minor dilemma; when I…… Continue reading Paper or Plastic…or rather Electronic?
