Nearly everywhere you go, you will almost always find something that is gluten-free. Whether it's due to medical reasons, like me, or for a change in diet, following a gluten-free diet can be beneficial for many people. As for me, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about thirteen years ago and up until six years ago, I noticed a change whenever I would eat certain foods, which resulted in severe stomach cramps that would last for hours at a time. Upon reading articles on the internet, I found … [Read more...]

What’s Coming in June 2019 on Netflix
It's funny how my very last blog post was about me explaining that it has been a long time since I posted on the blog and a year later, here I am. ONE. FULL. YEAR.

My health hasn't been the greatest but I'm trying my best to eat healthy, exercise and just spend quality time with my family. But I digress..... Let's get this Netflix show on the road!

A Weekend Filled with Good Eats, A Baby Shower and Riding Around Town in Style! #DriveToyota #ad
There are 52 weekends in a year... If you ask me, that means plenty of opportunities for a nice, weekend road trip. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I love road trips! To get away for a couple of days and be out of the normal routine is good for the body, mind and soul. If I had the money to get away every single weekend, I would be somewhere different all the time. There's one place that I always seem to gravitate towards when it's time for a road trip. That one place I … [Read more...]

This past summer, we didn't do much of anything as in vacationing in a resort or visits at the beach. We pretty much hung around my hometown and did things nearby like visit the parks, visits to Rita's for some cold, creamy custards (yum!) and lots of backyard play. My plans for next summer are to take plenty of road trips, one or a few vacations (at the … [Read more...]
Top 10 Fall TV Shows
There's so much to love about the Fall season. The fact that you can wear nice, comfortable bulky sweaters, drink hot & steamy lattes without a sweat, decorate your home with pumpkins, scarecrows, and of course, catch up on your favorite shows! After a long day at work and long hours in the kitchen cooking, I like to unwind in front of the television a few times a week with hubby and watch our favorite shows. But I'm always disappointed when I watch my favorite TV show and it's the Season … [Read more...]
