Berox
(Don requested these)
I had never heard of them

 

These get 4-1/2 stars. I was going to give them 4 stars but Don says they need to be at least 4-1/2 stars. So 4-1/2 stars it is. This is a german pastry that is really tasty. I wonder if this is where Hot

Healthy Egg McMuffins Review!!

Healthy Egg McMuffins 

These are getting 5 stars. They are super easy, super tasty, and easy to change ingredients to make them taste different. Don loved these and ask for me to make lots of them to have on hand. He likes a quick breakfast on the go. He said this is exactly what he has been looking for. I will try these with turkey sausage, also 

Target practice!!

We went out to dinner at 


Then to the 

E.Salon.com review Update!!

I finally found time to redo my hair.
If you remember, I used this the first time and loved it.

BUT

a few days later I had grey back. I called them and they told me to redo it and leave it on for an extra 5 minutes. They sent it to me again at no charge. Sweet!! 

So, I redid it yestereday. Will keep track of how long it takes for the grey to come back this time. I want this to work so bad. It's only 19.99 a month. 

Here's the link to the post I did before

Recipes Coming Up For Review This Week!!


Baked Tacos
Kisha's recipe- Kisha's taco post

Sunday Social!!


1. Do you plan to change any of your eating habits in the new year?
I always try to eat healthy but I am going to try to eat even healthier.


2. Any workout tips to get us back in shape after the Holidays?
10 minutes of abs 3 times a week will keep a flat tummy. If you have a tummy, do your abs for 10 minutes a day for 2 or 3 weeks.  It should be gone or mostly gone depending on how much you need to lose. I do the Billy Banks ab workout. It starts out hard but after just a few times of doing it, it's pretty easy. You just have to do it..I try to do it 3 times a week/



3. Favorite thing you did over the Holidays
Enjoyed Christmas with both my girls. Awesome!!


4. What is something you hope that you accomplish in 2013 that you did not in 2012?
Get into a new business, have any ideas? 



5. Name 3 things happening this year you are excited about and why


  1. My vacation coming up this spring to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. My favorite movie of all time, (Somewhere in Time), was filmed there and I have always wanted to go. Very excited about this trip.
  2. That my daughter Kisha is moving to Florida. That way both my girls are in the same area so when I go see one, I get to see them both. Happy Happy Happy about this.
  3.   Don will love me more at the end of the year, than he does now. And he loves me a bunch already!! 

Happy Birthday Johnny!!!


LITTLE BROTHER 

I HOPE IT'S A GREAT ONE.


WISH I COULD BE THERE WITH YOU TODAY. 

I LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH.

A little motivation for losing pounds!!

Need a little motivation to help with losing a few pounds!!

If so, you need to read 

January issue

If this doesn't motivate you, nothing will.

Wow!! great issue.

What I liked most about it, is they all did it in different ways. Not one diet that you couldn't stay on if you wanted to. No surgery either. 

Awesome!!

Congratulations to all in this magazine that lost over half their body weight.

AMAZING!!

Unplugged!!



Don will be home any minute so I am going to get off of here.

It's Ok Thursday!!

IT'S OK 
if I don't get a lot done this week. I have been going strong for a long time. It's nice to just relax and do very little. I will still try to get my goals finished this week goals this week but maybe not much more. 

IT'S OK
if I have to wash all of the bed covers, blankets, pillow cases, sheets and Sammy's blanket. I changed clothes softener and I don't think it agrees with Sammy's skin. At least I hope that is all it is. We'll see.

IT'S OK 
if I don't go to Denver with Don for 4 days. I HATE the cold. It's cold and snowy. No thank you. 

IT'S OK
that's it's ok

We started out with dinner at Macaroni Grill  

Hello January!!


WELCOME!!

It is time to say good-bye to one of my favorite months and enter into January.  I will miss December and will be anticipating it all year. 

As we enter into January, we enter into a new year. A time for new hopes, new dreams, new friends, and new memories. 

I sure hope you are as good to me as December was. 

I don't know what we have going on this month but hopefully it will be full of happiness and love. 

I welcome you, January, with open arms.
