Weekend Warrior
As I sit and sip my coffee this morning, I am continuing my morning routine of reflection. In my journal I am writing moments of gratitude.

Organizing Recipes – Decluttering the Piles
I have so many recipes in so many random places. Santa brought me a Happy Planner Recipe Planner a couple of years ago. And it is full of blank pages that are just waiting to get filled. Over the past several months I have been finding recipes I have jotted down, saved as favorites, and […]
