So I have been doing Weight Watchers since Sept. It has been working well but getting boring. I have started working out with a friend and now we both are trying out this Fitbit. It’s worn either as a bracelet or a clip on and tracks walking, stairs, activity and even your sleep patterns. It also has an online food log to keep me honest.

I think I have linked my Fitbit to log here daily so everyone if you can also keep me honest! I’ll let you known how it goes!

This is soo soo much harder than I thought. I bought an antique bureau for $30 and thought I would give it a quick sand down and paint and then sell it for a little profit. WRONG! I worked for months on this stupid thing in the little snippets of time I can get from my 3 kids here and there.

When I was just about done putting my blood sweat and tears into this piece my husband walks in and says, “this is the color you picked?” Yes, he is still alive. When it was done, I felt like this piece owed me some good use and decided to put it in my bathroom
for storage. I actually do love lt. Here are before and after pics

Easy way to make asparagus last longer and stay fresher. Cut about 1 inch off bottoms and place in a container with a little water, about 2 inches. Place in fridge and they will last a few days longer than usual. Easy peasy!

If you are anything like me, you go through paper towels lightning fast. I hate the waste and I hate spending the $$ on them. I was watching the show “Shark Tank” recently and saw these things called Bambooee paper towels. They are made of bamboo ( duh, of course) and are reusable! They claim they can be washed up to 100 times even bleached! I went to their website and bought 1 roll of towels and 1 roll of floor cleaners (use with swiffer mop) for around $20. I have been using them for a few weeks and have washed them all at least 3 times and am in love! They are son soft after washing them. I use them to clean my kids faces, the counter tops, wipe up messes. I just rinse them out and throw them in with my whites. If these stand up for 100 washes they will be well worth it. So far so good! I store them in a container on my counter in place of the paper towel holder. After purchase they took a while to get here. But so far that’s the only issue I have 🙂
