So this morning I concocted a yummy, healthy smoothie. It was super easy, super quick and did the trick. Ingredients: 1/2 frozen banana (I already had it sliced and in the freezer) 1 c. fat-free milk 1 t. PB2 (powdered peanut butter is my favorite right now) 1 packet of Weight Watchers chocolate smoothie mix […]
It’s a pretty exciting time for me right now. I’m ready for what the future has to offer, my eyes are open and I will not ignore any more opportunities. The most exciting part of 2013 is J and I’s wedding in November. We’ve been planning, organizing, and buying items for it. The closer we […]
Alright, it’s time for a new adventure. I have to keep moving. You may have noticed that the name of the blog has changed. That’s because …. I would like to introduce you to my new Etsy shop – MereLynneConcepts. I will continue to add items over the next few days (hopefully) for a long […]
photo by DColeman Photography. Priorities. I’ve given it a lot of thought. I know what makes me happy in life from work-life to home-life. I know what I need to succeed and go to bed each night knowing that I have accomplished something that day. Whether my accomplishment is big or small. For me, it’s […]

I know, I know. It’s a bit late around here, but I’ve been working all day and then came home to cook a delicious dinner for J and I. Then in ironic fashion I sat on the couch for two hours while watching The Biggest Loser. At least I got in some activity at work […]
Life is a ride. Simple phrase that explains so much. I graduated from college with my Masters. Celebrated Christmas with my family and J’s family. Traveled over 8 hours in a car in less than 36 hours. Rang in the New Year with J and some great friends. Started living on my own again. survived […]
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a day filled with love and yummy goodness! J and I celebrated our first Thanksgiving together this year. Due to work schedules we both weren’t able to make the drive home, especially since our drive is in opposite directions of one another. It just made it too difficult. So, […]
