Bloggers’ Biggest Loser!

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. I’m just looking for something normal to do today. Something that is unrelated to the recent events. Something where I’m not waiting for a phone call, a decision, or a reaction. I just need a piece of normal. One…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Crash}

I’m living in a kaleidoscope. The world is spinning around and around, all of the facts and fictions are dancing together.

Food Fodder: Turkey Burgers with Mushrooms & Onions

It’s the middle of Winter here, and while there’s barely any snow on the ground, it’s still too cold for me to stand over a grill outside clicking my tongs. I don’t love burgers that much. I do love them enough to make them on my stove, however. When I started The 17 Day Diet,…

Food Fodder: Meal Plan Monday

Hi! How was your weekend?  We were away at my in-laws this weekend and our scales are about 6-7 pounds off, so I’m going to weigh in tomorrow to get an accurate weight.

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Sundays: Then and Now}
