If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! New year, new resolutions. I know we are in March but I need to catch you up. I thought it was time to try a few new things to change it up a bit. This was not a resolution from January, instead February.

Getting lucky with the lottery, contests...

Mega Millions has reached over $350 million for this upcoming draw on Tuesday. The odds of winning are astronomical but one must play in order to be a factor, right?

I am a lover of fresh baked bread. Typically, I purchase whatever brand is on sale or make it from scratch. Prep time is not always on my side with 3 growing teens to feed. Since I am working again, I have to keep a few quick meal options stocked each week. I recently found Sister Schubert’s  line in my local grocery store. Sadly, I was not able to find the cinnamon rolls, however I picked up the soft pretzel rolls. I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes like homemade goodness and they passed the teen taste test! Besides how quick they were to prepare, they were...
