Spring Cleaning – Kitchen
One of the best spots to spring clean is the kitchen. Of course, there are so many places you could start. The fridge? The pantry? The floor? Well, I don’t know about you, but I like to get some quick wins right from the start. For me, that means wiping down all the big appliances… Continue reading Spring Cleaning – Kitchen
Spring Cleaning – Photos
Taking photos on my phone is just too darn easy. Deleting photos is easy, too, but who remembers to go back through and delete the ones that are out of focus, were only reminders to buy something to begin with or are replicas?

One Goal Leads to Another
Reading one of the 12 nonfiction books of the year encouraged me to get the ball rolling on taking a photography class. “Stretch” explains why you should try new things as well as to take all of your different experiences to create new things. At the end of the book, it gives a few ideas… Continue reading One Goal Leads to Another
Weighed in at WW
I’m down three points as of my third WW weigh-in this morning! I’m super excited about the results, since it hasn’t felt all that hard.
