Let me start by saying, I don’t know what’s up with me. I really have had NO desire to write, journal, eat good, or even get out of bed for the last few days. I’m just NOT motivated. As everyone knows, especially those with kids, you just gotta deal but boy I’ve been kinda [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted a Sensational Sunday and even though this weekend wasn’t my best on the food front I still like to recognize good days when I have them.

Did I tell you I’m watching my Niece this week? I think I did. Anyway, she is an absolute angel! I’m not going to get into family dirt but she had a rough start to life. She has come a long way in 3 years.
The only problem she’s having now [...]
