Review: Simply Canning

Posted in Homemaking, and Reviews

It’s that time of year again when fruits and veggies are growing like crazy.  Farmer’s Markets are open (in most parts of the country – not here).  The food co-op baskets are usually filled with fresh produce.  The prices for produce start to come down as the supply goes up.  Now, is the time to stock up on your favorite fruits and veggies. It seems like the idea of preserving food had gone away for some time.  People just weren’t all that interested in taking the time to prepare the food themselves – after all, they could just grab what…

Posted in Fitness, and Photography

Project 365 – #154 Well, I’ve officially jumped on the Zumba bandwagon.  I’m not going to classes, but I’m doing Zumba at home.  I’m only on the beginner stuff, and I’m already getting quite the workout.  It’s something completely different for me, and I’m having lots of fun.  (I’m using the Zumba Fitness Exhilarate: The Ultimate Experience DVD Set.) It’s definitely not for everyone, and if you have boys in the house, you may decide not to have them around due to the attire and moves.  I’m on my own while doing it which works for me. I have a…
