what you can look forward to…

You may recall that I’m currently attempting the 31 Days to Building a Better Blog (#31DBBB) over at blogfrog. Well, it’s Day 17 of the challenge, & I’m just starting on Challenge #7. Yea, I’m a bit behind. I’m hoping to get through Challenge #10 tonight, but I also have some web design stuff to…

the catch up game & don’t worry about a thing.

…every little thing is gonna be alright. (Bob Marley, anyone?) Since I went on a mini vacation this week, I have a lot to catch up on for the #31DBBB challenge. However, before I move on to the next steps in that challenge, I think I may need to soften any concerns that might have…

making a statement.

why it was quiet around here last week

A daily dose of sugar was pretty quiet last week. I was hard at work on the redesign of bellafaith design [my graphic & web design business], so every available minute went directly into it. However, the girls & I made three different types of cookies last week, so I have some new recipes to…

OAMC ages like wine…

…it gets better with time. Okay so it’s more like you get better at OAMC with time. My first experience with OAMC, once a month cooking, was back at the end of October. It took all day for me to prepare 27 meals, but I learned a lot [like stuffing manicotti shells with a beef…
