Shredded Carrot Fiasco

Take it from me: don’t shove shredded carrots down your garbage disposal.
Last night, I crammed a big handful of my shredded friends into the disposal. Next thing I knew, the drain was clogged and my sink was filled with water. I tried to plunge out the drain for 20 minutes until my arms were sore [...]

How Sweet It Is

Has the week started already? I’m still in weekend mode. It was a sweet weekend in many ways.
Carter and I enjoyed a movie date night — we saw “Up In The Air,” which was a fabulous commentary on what really matters in life. I loved it, and I’m not even a George Clooney fan.

Berry Nut Crepes

When I spotted Frieda’s French Style crepes on grocery store shelves, I was inspired to make a unique breakfast.
Using a crepes recipe from Frieda’s web site as my guide, I developed my own delicious crepe combination. Wow. Major flavor fireworks.

To serve 2:
1. Using a hand mixer, blend together 1/4 cup fat free ricotta cheese, 1/4 [...]

Snowed In and Hungry

We had a snow storm in the Philly suburbs this weekend! Surprisingly, my water-shunning dog loved playing in the snow!

Carter did not. My sweet husband spent a good hour shoveling and cleaning off our cars on Sunday morning. We’re not fans of the snow unless “we’ve no place to go.” And you can bet that [...]

A Mom’s Birthday & A Dog’s Christmas

My mom’s birthday celebration on Wednesday night was a lot of fun! I invited my grandmother, aunt, and neighbors over to celebrate. I think my mom’s favorite part of the night was just “hanging out” with everyone.

Notice that my aunt is holding a picture frame in this photo. In that frame are the pictures from [...]

Today I was officially accepted into a master’s degree program in counseling psychology! I’ll most likely be starting the program in January, and my goal is to work towards becoming an eating disorders counselor and/or a middle school/high school counselor. My heart is set on being an eating disorders counselor at this point in my [...]

Go With Your Gut

Today was a great day . . . for the most part. I started off the day with a trip to the dentist, who said I have a great set of teeth and absolutely no problems. That’s actually the bad part of my day. Wanna know why?

Sprinkle On The Fun

I’m currently listening to Christmas music on the Internet . . . because I can’t wait for the radio stations to start playing it! The thing I love about Christmas songs is that they always put me in such a peaceful, lovey-dovey mood. There aren’t many Christmas songs that I don’t like, and with less [...]

Sweet Things

I just can’t seem to start my blog posts these days without thanking all of my readers — but really, you make it impossible not to! Some mornings I wake up and feel very anxious knowing that I’m career-less for the time being, but I read your awesome comments which always put a [...]
