If you thought you were going to see some picture of a nice juicy turkey then you are sadly mistaken. Not because I won’t be having turkey today, I will. But because it hasn’t come out of the oven yet. You see, I’m writing this hours before we are even leaving to head to J’s […]
Well it’s week 2 of my weight loss journey and I’m back, which means I haven’t given up. I have to admit I was much more aware this week of what I was eating and how much I was moving around. It was a hard week for me. I was out of town this past […]
I saw the best sign at a local church this past week: “You don’t need more to be thankful for, you just need to be thankful more.” I think this statement is so true! We always want more – more time to get work done, more money, more time with family and friends, more stuff. […]
I’m going to start a new series over here on merelynne.com. Something that we all may be struggling with, have struggled with, or know someone who is struggling with it. It’s weight loss.

I follow the super-inspiring Alex Beadon and jumped feet first for her Feel Good Blogging Challenge. Today is day […]
Working in an office where I see clients most days gives me the opportunity to do fun things with my hair. I don’t want to constantly be wearing the same hair style day in and day out. Nor do I want to look childish by having immature hairstyles. So, I’m constantly coming up with different […]
I found out you can make taco meat in the slow cooker… what?!? I was shocked, excited, and couldn’t wait to try it out. Then I learned it was super easy and then I decided to make it the very next day. I used my own taco seasoning recipe to save on all of the […]
If you want something easy to make for dinner then try this homemade taco seasoning recipe. J and I love Mexican food. He could probably eat it everyday for the rest of his life. I couldn’t eat every day, but I do really love it. I ran out the pre-packaged taco seasoning the other day […]
