Mom, me and Katrena  A huge thanks to my family for driving all the way to Austin to help make over our flower beds! They look so much better than they did, and I love the color that we have now. Here are some before, during and after pictures. Derrick Dad Jeep Me Derrick and […]

I discovered a new blog a couple of weeks ago that has some great healthy recipes.  Because I am in love with burrito bowls from Chipotle, I loved coming across this rice recipe.  I have failed at trying to make my own burrito bowl at home many times, and now I know why.  I forgot […]

Exercise/Fitness Tip of the week: Do squats or pushups during commercial breaks while you’re watching TV. Or if you aren’t super motivated, how about a little bit of stretching? The idea is to maximize your time, so if you just can’t miss that episode of Grey’s Anatomy, but feel guilty for skipping your workout, do […]

I have been reading like crazy since Christmas when my sweet hubby got me a Nook as my gift, and my awesome family loaded me up with more than $250 worth of gift cards. I’ve read lots of books that I haven’t recommended because I tend to keep reading even when I’m not really interested […]

A lot of the blogs I follow have days devoted to tips or recipes or other things. So I decided to start Workout Wednesdays.  I’ve been exercising regularly again for the past few weeks, and I feel so great. I’d like to share some of my workouts and tips with everyone, and if you don’t get […]

Because you can do that now! There will be lots of “Kramering” going on at my house. 😉 Those of you who don’t know what that is, don’t ask! Here are some before, during and after pictures of the installation. I didn’t do great with the before pictures because we had already moved stuff out […]

I’ve never been great at gardening, and I’ve killed many plants.  However, I like to blame some of my failure on the hot Texas sun because there is just no where in our yard to get away from it. Our house faces west, so we get lots of bright sun, and we have zero trees […]

I wanted to wait and make my next post about our beautiful new floors with before and after pictures, but since that may be awhile, I’ll give you all the low-down on what’s going on. The install started on Saturday morning, and we expected it to be a one day job. However, we were given […]

Good Monday morning everyone! Derrick and I had a nice relaxing weekend, and we needed it because things are about to get super busy!  We got some much needed cleaning done on Saturday, and I still have more to go.  I will be cleaning closets this week.  Donating old clothes and shoes, and trying to […]

Peachy Breeze by Sally Hansen I bought this nail polish at Target the other day because the bright color caught my eye.  Then I read Insta-dry.  Hmmm, could that actually be possible and not turn out looking like crap?  The answer is: YES!  It totally works and looks great.  I painted my nails on my […]
