Another 3 Things

 3 Things are my favorite:

I'm loving Panera's cleaned up ingredients for their menu options.  I tried the Chipotle Melt and it was quite yummy.  I got chips with it and it was, as always, delicious.  Hunter's Italian was very tasty as well.


We did Christmas Bingo with Hunter's family and it was so much fun!  We had two piles- one for kid items and one for the grown ups.  We grabbed a mix of things like gift cards, adult coloring books, and Harry Potter jelly beans for the kids.  Those were so much fun!  Everyone's reactions were fantastic.  Here's just a glimpse of mine when enjoying some delicious dirt and sausage jelly beans:


I am making this.  I'll hold while you salivate momentarily...

I'm most excited for the fact that I recognize every ingredient as items I have in my kitchen right now.  Scratch that, I'll need to get fresh carrots and celery.  I may also tweak it after researching more to see how I can convert it to an egg drop type base with everything else as the recipe calls for.  I have a feeling when we have our colder Florida months in January-March, this will be a popular menu item for us.

Here's to a new week, a new year, and anything else you want to give a go!

Time Blocking

When I worked in corporate world, I learned the art of time blocking. Actually, in middle and high school this concept was introduced through classes being structured to a similar schedule; we had A and B days and instead of taking 6 classes every day for a shorter duration, we took three each day, alternating which three, for longer periods of time.  To surmise, I’ve implemented this approach for well over 20 years now!  #YouKnowHowIKnowYoureInYour30s #YouReferenceThingsIn20YearIncrements. Anyhowwww...since I transitioned to work for myself from home, I’ve created a time blocking schedule here as well. It’s typically much more flexible than any other time blocking I’ve been part of, but it’s a good system. When you know what you’re going to do or at least have an idea to begin your day, I find it works well and let’s me start out focused even on days I wake up feeling less than on my game. It’s funny looking back, I never realized in 7th grade block classes, it would begi

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w
