Working from home

I've posted previously [click HERE] about my part time job working from home.   I am so blessed to have this flexibility.  Although my husband designed us a nice home office I usually prefer to work in our dining room in the front of our house.  There's a sunny window facing our street and lots of room to spread out if I need to.

Use your home as you need to rather than just what the rooms were designed for.  I typically work most of my hours (20+) on Monday through Wednesday with Thursdays (sometimes) and Fridays off.  I can clear off the table with work stuff in five minutes and our dining room is back to normal.  :)


An update 8 months later... I love it!  The flexibility, the $$, the people I work with, and the company I work for...all are gifts from the Lord and I am thankful.

Eph 3:20 Now to Him who is bable to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us...

Weight watchers breakfast doesn't need to be a sabotage

You have to be careful when eating meals out. You could use all your WW points in one meal.  This whole breakfast is about 6 WW points and half of that was the English muffin!


  • Egg white omelet with onions, peppers and mushrooms
  • Mixed fresh fruit
  • English muffin, plain
  • 1 tsp strawberry jam
  • Coffee with half & half

The local restaurant that served this is the Maitland Breakfast Club. Their Healthy Choice breakfast is perfect on Weight Watchers. I only ate half if it and had the other half for lunch with a salad.  Great way to spread out your points.







Letting go of your fears -- balloon ride

This past weekend I denied my fear of heights/ falling and went up in a balloon with my family.  It was actually spur of the moment so I didn't have much time to think about it... And it was so much fun!  My sons and husband were as thrilled as I was to do it with me.

I wonder  if there is a "Way of the Wild Heart" for women!

2Tim. 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

Laundry mishap wet erase markers

I almost panicked when I opened my dryer and found this...


Thankfully every bit wiped up clean with just water and a microfiber cloth.  My son had done his laundry and didn't check his pockets so his clothes also had red all over them.  A second washing cleaned the red off of all but two t- shirts.

Weight watchers avoid fried anything

I love fried shrimp but on Weight Watchers you can eat so few it's hardly worth it.  Just 3 of these are 6 WW points.  I had saved some extra so I could have 5 but definitely not something to eat regularly.

Weight watchers 5 point power breakfast


On Weight Watchers I thought that bacon would be taboo.... not if it's cooked crisp!!  :)  This breakfast consisted of:

  • 2 slices of crisp bacon (I used the pre-cooked, freeze-dried kind and cook in the microwave) (3 points)
  • Navel orange (o points)
  • One egg stir-fried with green peppers and onions (I was out of mushrooms or they'd be in here, too) (2 points)
  • Hot tea


Delicious!!  and only 5 WW points!

P52 Sweet Shot Tuesday Week #25

I love gift shops and arts and crafts.  I don't make much myself, but I love looking at the creativity of others and always admire what  people can do with their hands. I was a vendor in an arts and crafts fair recently and someone had made these cute hand towels.  Does this sound like anyone you know?  :)

Week #25 in Sweet Shot Tuesday!

RECIPE: Kale Soup

 Kale comes in such large packages. I don't really like it as well raw as cooked and  I had a LOT to use up. Found this recipe for kale ...
