I decided before going on vacation that I wasn’t going to lug my DSLR around.  I was nervous about losing it, having to carry another camera bag around with me.  So I was happy that the Saturday before I left I was able to upgrade my phone after two years of having an iPhone 4.  I ended up getting the iPhone 6+ and I absolutely...

I think my Mom and I could have gotten home faster from London than Key West!  If you followed me on Instagram over my vacation (my bizzy kitchen – thank you if you did!) you’ll know that my Mom and I left to go to the airport on Key West at 10:00 a.m. on Monday and I finally drove into my driveway at 5:00 p.m....

Morning!  I am at my Mom’s house this morning.  Our flight is relatively early this morning to Key West so I spent the night last night.  We went out to dinner last night to an Italian restaurant near her house that she’s always wanted to try. Weird, we walked in at 7 on a Sunday night and there was literally just one other table.  Kind...

Over the weekend when I was passing the prepared food part of the deli, I stopped in my tracks because they were just refilling a sheet pan with pork carnitas.  Holy balls, the smell was intoxicating, and when I found out they were selling it for $5.49 a pound, I quickly grabbed 1/2 a pound to take home.  I had a taco on Saturday with...

I loved reading all the comments yesterday about how you were going to make yesterday great.  My new mind set is that I have to take each day as it comes – not worry about what I could or should have done the day before and not wondering what I should be doing tomorrow or next week even.  Just make conscious daily efforts to make...

Thanks for all your kind comments about Tony’s article in the paper.  I talked to Tony’s parents and they agreed that Rick Morrissey completely captured the spirit of Tony.  And we all agreed that Tony is smiling down from heaven about this! Hannah worked at the coffee shop yesterday so I swung by on my way to work and picked up a mixed berry parfait. ...

Much like the rest of the world, I am sick of winter.  The snow isn’t really melting and right now it is 1 degree, with a wind chill of –10.  I feel sorry for my sister who has to take the train to her job in Chicago, the only part I hated about working downtown was when I had to walk 8 blocks to my...

Hannah was working again yesterday morning at the coffee shop.  I told her that I would probably be getting a breakfast sandwich and when I got there, she had it already bagged up and ready to go.  The last time I got it I ate the whole thing, and figured out the calories after the fact.  It’s a big sandwich and I calculated it to...

Hannah was working yesterday so I stopped by the coffee shop she works at and picked up one of their Greek yogurt parfaits.  I kept telling her that I love the Greek yogurt that is in the parfait, and I was convinced it was Chobani.  Hannah checked it out and guess what?  It’s Sam’s Club Kirkland brand Greek yogurt! I chose mixed berry for my...
