Hello, friends, Happy Monday! It’s time to clean house. Don’t sad sigh on me now, we can totally do this, one week at a time, which is exactly what we’re going to do. Last year was the year of if-it-doesn’t-kill-you-it-will-make-you-stronger. It almost did me in, 2014, but guess what suckas? (I’m referring to the universe, not you) I’m still here! My baby girl has turned a corner and is slowly, slowly but surely getting a little better every day. Things…

Weekly meal prep is where it’s at, yo, especially if improving your health and spending less are on your priority list this year. I love to eat healthy, wholesome foods and do right by my body, and my family, but my reality isn’t quite so simple. The truth is, some days there just isn’t enough time to prepare 3 fresh meals from start to finish, and then clean it all up. Then the drive-through window with the chicken sandwich, diet…

I confess. I spent the bulk of last night wrapped in a blanket, watching the Golden Globes. Mostly just for the clothes. Of all the shows recognized last night, cinema or television, I think I’ve only seen 3. But, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler? Pretty darn funny. The George Clooney Lifetime Achievement Award joke was probably the best joke of the evening, along with “…to prepare for my role as Human Woman.” Amen. Other highlights: George Clooney’s speech, Michael Keaton’s…

Time for a 2015 calendar, because it’s almost here! The new year! 2015! If one of your goals is to be more organized, may I suggest starting with a pretty 2015 calendar? I use my smart phone calendar for some things, but I’m still a bit old fashioned and like to write things down and see them all at a glance without my trusty smartphone. I’m talking about using a nice paper 2015 calendar for jotting down all of your…
