I hardly ever eat sweet stuff for breakfast, just because my palate wants savory and salty.  But when we found a French bakery on Duval street that sold that mornings pastries for 50% off, we stocked up for breakfast the next day.  I picked out this apricot pastry – holy balls was this insulin worthy! We walked around and shopped a lot.  We passed by...

While I have been canoeing before, even so far as to do a couple Outward Bound trips in the boundary waters between Minnesota and Canada, I’d never been kayaking before.  My Mom and Aunt Martha went the previous year and gave it two thumbs up, so we decided to go again.  I don’t exactly remember, but I think it cost us each about $50 for...

I am not going to lie – coming back to our frigid temps would make me pull out my camera and scroll through all the pictures of walking outside in tank tops and wearing sandals.  Part of me wanted to wear sandals to work last Wednesday, but it was super cold, and I would have to walk through snow.  Hoping that our weather near the...

It was funny because every day I would look at my weather app on my super cool iPhone 6+ (made my boss jealous that she didn’t have one – love it!) and every day, the next day would have a little rain cloud that there could be a chance of rain.  However, each day it never rained, and it would predict that the very next...

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...
