The thought of having a sloppy joe sandwich for dinner brings back some pretty happy memories. I loved sloppy joes, sloppier the better in my book! So when I saw this recipe on Pinterest before the super bowl and decided instantly that it had to be made. I did make some revisions because I wanted […]
I always read these “day in the life of” posts and think it is so cool to peek into someone else’s life for a bit. My day is not as glamourous as most other blogger’s because I have a full time job that I go to during the week, so that cuts into a lot […]
I thought it was time to fill you in on a little about my life. You probably gathered from this post about quitting your job that I actually did quit my job that I had for over 5 years. Fortunately, I found a new job in the field I want to be in. My bosses […]
Now with the new year fully rolling it’s time to get a handle on things, don’t you think? I was sitting here just thinking how I function so much better when my house is clean. I do not know about you, but every once in awhile the mood to deep clean sets in; and I […]
If you read my last post about knowing when it was time to leave a job then you know what decision I made. I have been with this company for over 5 years and have worked my way up from a part-time receptionist to full-time office manager and bookkeeper and then came full circle to […]

I’m at it again. Needing to take a quick pause from the blog until Monday. It’s only 2 days, but I really need a break. I have some really exciting news that has happened and I cannot wait to share. However, today is not the right time. I will be back on Monday the 20th […]
It’s hard coming up with creative and delicious dinner recipes every night. I always look for something that is somewhat healthy, easy to make, and does not require me to get 1000 pots and pans dirty. I had this idea to create some pita pizzas from a recipe I found years ago. All I needed […]
The end of the year has come and I can finally make a big announcement that I’ve been keeping from you. The title probably gave it away, but I have decided that I want to change jobs. It’s been a long time coming and a pretty hard decision. I don’t love my job, but I […]
