A few weeks ago, I submitted my “We Paid Cash” story to Crystal. I didn’t know if she’d run it or not so I was surprised when I saw MY mixer on her page while scrolling through my Facebook news feed. Woo hoo! How exciting. I LOVE Crystal. She’s been a huge encouragement to me [...]

I can tell that in general my life is better. I am going to bed earlier and sleeping well. I still don’t wake up totally rested but oh well…. I’ve been making lots more homemade food–things like cream soups to freeze, or other things to put in the freezer. I can think about spending time [...]

I had a discussion with someone about blogging and the question was asked, “What does it profit us?” I thought about that with this blog.
