Looking Forward Friday, November 30th

Happy Friday friends!  It's hard to believe that December starts tomorrow.  This year seems to have flown by.  I mentioned earlier this week about my groovy planner.  I am really excited about it.  To that end, I've been looking at some specific goals, project and things I need to change going into 2019.  I really think that it will help me focus on the specific things that I want to transform in the coming year.  I have also been thinking about ideas for the blog.  There are so many ideas floating around in my head.  I bought myself a small notebook that I keep in my purse so that I can write things down whenever something strikes me.  I want to really work on conquering some fears and some clutter in the coming year.  One step at a time, right?

First, thoughts for goals in December.  I really want to string more on plan days/Blue Dot Days together.  I want to hit my step goal more often than not.  I know these should probably be more specific, but I want to leave myself a little room to enjoy the holidays as well.  

Also, has anyone read Elizabeth Gilbert's book Big Magic?  It definitely gave me some food for thought.  I feel like 2019 is definitely going to be a year of more self discovery for me.  I am looking more forward to the challenges to come.  I am a work in progress and there will definitely be more to come for me in 2019.

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe.  I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years.  My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods.  So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie.  It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese.  I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years.  You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much.  I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
