New Year, New You?

I decided to check my Google photos from January of this year and the first week had a ton of snow pictures. We haven’t had any snow here yet, so looking forward to getting some in 2022 for winter. I don’t want to jinx things and say we’ve had a mild winter, but it’s beenContinue reading “New Year, New You?”

Aunt Ellen’s Fudge

One of the things I made while I was on vacation was fudge. It turned out really good and my nieces ended up taking the leftovers with them. Since it was so well-liked, I thought I’d share the recipe. It’s super easy to make. I forgot normal sugar so I used powdered sugar. And IContinue reading “Aunt Ellen’s Fudge”

My First AirBnB Experience

I grew up in Southern Georgia, but I currently have settled in Tennessee. The northern part of Georgia is like a nice mixture of both places. My oldest niece found us a great cabin in Ellijay to spend Christmas. I’ve personally never used AirBnB before, so this was an interesting experience. HERE is a linkContinue reading “My First AirBnB Experience”

Posting Streaks and Comments

Today will mean 182 days of straight posting on the Blog. It’s almost 2022 and people always talk about what they want to do for the new year. At the moment, I’m really happy with how well I’ve been able to dedicate myself to keeping up with the blog posts. I know that I don’tContinue reading “Posting Streaks and Comments”

Broccoli Cheese Soup

I got back yesterday and ended up just being lazy so I didn’t have a post ready for today. I had a TON of broccoli leftover from the trip. We planned meals and I didn’t use everything we planned for. So I asked my MIL for her broccoli cheese soup. This one is really simpleContinue reading “Broccoli Cheese Soup”

Girls’ Day Out

And then my ovaries exploded. Sorry. Whenever my stepdaughter calls me Mom, something deep in my soul explodes like a volcano. I’ve been making peace with myself that at 37-years-old I might never be able to have my own biological child. I’ve had one confirmed miscarriage. And a few times that I suspect I mightContinue reading “Girls’ Day Out”

Christmas, Christmas

Christmas, Christmas time is near,Time for toys and time for cheer,We’ve been good, but we can’t last,Hurry Christmas, hurry fast! Let’s be honest, when I think about Christmas. I remember the Chipmunks. I played the original soundtrack until the cassette tape broke. Not the remake. Now that the day has arrived. I can say whatContinue reading “Christmas, Christmas”

Twas The Night Before Christmas…

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;The children were nestled all snug in their beds;While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and IContinue reading “Twas The Night Before Christmas…”

Finch: Self Care Widget Pet

For the longest time, I’ve had Daylio as the application that was “supposed” to track my moods. I bought the app when it was very new and cost very little to get the Premium version (It’s still only a few bucks, but you know…). I just honestly haven’t been able to use it regularly. I’llContinue reading “Finch: Self Care Widget Pet”

Eating Anime Food – Japanese Curry

I’m pretty sure that the photo I used for the top of the post is beef curry, but I actually made chicken curry! My stepdaughter has been obsessed with Japan and Japanese things for a while now. Not so much for the karate aspect as much as watching anime, playing Pokemon, and being a GhibliContinue reading “Eating Anime Food – Japanese Curry”
