Live Below the Line Challenge ~ Day Two
Day two. Hanging in there. Didn’t feel the hunger as badly today. It may be because I made some changes to my planned menu to allow for peanut butter. The bit of protein goes a long way in keeping me feeling more full. I’ve found I’m a bit snappy and...Live Below the Line Challenge ~ Day One
I heard from many people that the first day is the toughest. I was admittedly a bit dizzy and shaky at times… especially in the half hour before my next meal. I also had trouble concentrating. I think I did okay and I hope today is what the toughest day looks...{Through the Looking Glass} A, B, C’s
Xander loves to play with his LeapPad2. One of his favorite games teaches you how to write the letters of the alphabet. He will curl up on the couch and play for hours… even when it gets dark. I used PicMonkey to edit this photo. I applied the Auto-Adjust first....{Striiving for Fitness} Day 19 to Day 21
Catching up again. 😛 It had been a busy weekend and these posts got shoved aside. Day 19 Friday was below average, but at least I didn’t sit around all day. The neighborhood rummage sales started on Friday and I walked around a few blocks to the closer sales....{Motivate Me Monday} Counting Sins
Sometimes I think people just need a...Live Below the Line Challenge ~ My Menu
I put together a menu for the 5 days of the challenge. I tried to keep it simple, because I will still be preparing regular meals for Ross and Xander. The menu doesn’t have a lot of variety and it’s definitely nutritionally incomplete, but I was able to...The Live Below the Line Challenge
Beginning tomorrow (Monday) I am undertaking a challenge designed to increase awareness about the difficulties of living below the poverty line. The organization explains it best… Live Below the Line is an innovative awareness and fundraising campaign...{Through the Looking Glass} Rummage Haul
This weekend was our neighborhood’s annual community rummage sale. We usually have around 100 families participating. I decided to skip having my own this year so that I could get out and shop the sales. I should have just had my own… I wasn’t really...{Through the Looking Glass} Blue
I love our cat Selune’s eyes. They are an incredible blue color that doesn’t always come across well in photos. I finally caught that blue in true-to-life color! I first edited this photo with PicMonkey. I applied the Black and White filter and then used...{Through the Looking GlassThrough My Lens} iMadeFace
Today’s photo isn’t really a photo. It’s actually a cartoon face I created using a fun app I discovered through another blogger’s Instagram feed. The app is called iMadeFace. As far as I know, it is only available for iOS devices. This...{Striiving for Fitness} Day 15 to Day 18
Not a great week at all. It went downhill after a great weekend and Monday. You can find out some of the why on my Photo A Day posts from Tuesday and Wednesday. Other than Monday, I paid very little attention to what I ate… I either ate way too little or too...{Through the Looking Glass} Full Moon
It’s a full moon tonight, so I took a picture and then edited it like crazy. I used Pixlr-o-Matic again. The Ivan filter, Subtle overlay, and Pinstripe frame created today’s...Is it Naptime Yet?
You may have noticed a distinct lack of certain content that I post daily and that there has been very little activity around here. I’m not checking out on you all… it has just been a rough couple of days. Xander has been having a round of bad nights...{Through the Looking Glass} Late-Night Snack
My good friend got some crappy news today about her dad. We had our knitting group tonight. We both didn’t feel quite ready for heading home and I had a hankering… yes I just said hankering… for french fries and a shake. We headed over to...{Witty Wednesday} 10 Rules of Staying at Grandma’s House
Grandma. Nana. MeeMaw. Nonny. Whatever name your child’s grandmother goes by, the rules are still the same… Originally published by...{Through the Looking Glass} Slots Adventure
Do you ever have one of those days? You know the kind… the one where you just can’t get yourself to do anything. I had one of those days today. I managed to finish exactly none of my checklist of posts that I need to write. I knitted one entire round of...{Striiving for Fitness} Day 14
Not much to say except that it was a great day for steps. I was on a roll! I blew away my 6,000 step minimum and made it beyond my 8,000 goal. I began with my 600 calories and added 935 from exercise, which gave me a total of 1,535 to eat. I ate 1,415 calories…...{Through the Looking Glass} Nim’s Island
I received the Return to Nim’s Island Blu-Ray that I won. It was some time ago, so I can’t remember which blogger. I would have loved to give credit! I’ve never seen Nim’s Island, but I’ve heard it was cute… so this gives me an...A Stressful Start
Oh, what a stressful way to start the day. I woke up this morning to discover that my… ahem… lovely former site hosts had completely ignored the fact that I canceled months ago and went ahead and charged me for another year. The icing on the cake? It was...
