Today, I am listing my handmade breast cancer awareness ornament.
I made this when my friend was first diagnosed with breast cancer. I was not happy with it because it was a little off, not quite perfect! I know! Handmade is not supposed to be perfect. I remade one almost identical to this one that sold [...]

Me - I know, I was always told that, [...]

And it wasn’t because I didn’t want to do it! Our electric went out all day and all night, just coming on again at 7 am this morning! I will get back on track again today without missing a beat and do my 30 minutes on the exercise bike, too.

While approaching day 4 on Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred, I have wondered many times …

Ok, so I tackled the Shred today earlier than yesterday! Believe me, I had every excuse not to do it at all – [...]
