Prepping For The Week & For The Future

This was a busy day in the life. I had quite a few things on my to-do list for the day. I have to work this Saturday (something I don’t often have to do, and something I wish I never had to do), but be that as it may be, I wanted to get extra stuff done on my days off. I also wanted to get some food prepped for the rest of the week and the weekend, especially breakfasts so I can just eat breakfast and not have to think about preparing anything. I also did some prepping for the future. With all the bad news in the world going on right now I felt a special need to get extra prepared in my food pantry. So, I share some hauls of things we needed but also some extra things to put back for the future. Come along and spend this busy day with me.

DITL Vlog ~A Day of Running Around~

I tell you , I’ve been dreading this day for a week. I only have 2 days a week that I can do my errands and appointments. Monday I went grocery shopping and on this day I had THREE appointments in one day! It’s not what I wanted, but it was how it had to be. So, I was really not looking forward to it. If you know me at all you know that I have home-body tendencies and I really enjoy just being home and puttering around the house and doing projects. So, the idea of 3 different appointments in 1 day was NOT appealing at all. Knowing that I would be vlogging the day helped though, and all-in-all it didn’t turn out half bad. The anticipation of something is always worse than the actuality in most cases. So, come spend this busy day of running around with me!

Busy DITL Vlog

I’ve finally filmed another Day in the Life, it has been a while! In this busy DITL I share with you a special Christmas Announcement, some awesome Friend Mail that I received, an Ollie Update, a Dollar General haul, and a little of this and a little of that. It was a busy day but very productive and a fun day. If I look tired, it’s because I am. I did not sleep very well the night before, stress at work and everything else that is going on in the world is really starting to get to me and it kept me up most of the night. But, I had a great day nonetheless. Come on in and spend the day with me!

A Comfy Jammies Kind of Day ~Vlog~

The weather was absolutely miserable, cold and rainy, so I decided it was the perfect day to just stay in my cozy comfy jammies all day. I didn’t put on makeup or anything….and I hope you don’t mind. By late afternoon I did end up putting on a pair of sweat pants because I was “shopping” on facebook Marketplace and found an excellent deal, so when Scott got home from work we took a drive to check it out. You’ll have to watch and see if the “deal” really was a deal, and if we ended up buying. Come along and spend the day with me.

Oh what a busy day I had. It was a chilly but sunny day, a perfect day for some comfort food. I share with you my favorite apple pie recipe as well as a family favorite crockpot soup. We do some laundry, take care of the outside animals, and MOST importantly….I get to go to the hair salon after almost 8 months of not being able to go.

Just One of Those Days

It was just one of those days, when nothing seemed to go as planned. I had so many things I thought I wanted to accomplish and due to circumstances beyond my control I didn’t accomplish a whole lot. I did manage to bring you out with me to do morning chores, so you get to see the animals, and our fall leaves are really starting to look beautiful and I share some of those with you. Oh, and we end up with an unexpected overnight guest!  Things may not have gone as planned but I did manage to get a few things done. So, come on in and spend the day with me.

DITL Vlog ~What I Eat In A Day~

In this Day In The Life I do a container garden update, talk about invading raccoons and show you the animals. I also do a “What I Eat In A Day on Trim Healthy Mama. I show you absolutely everything I ate, and this is very typical of what I have been eating since starting back on THM. Also, have I lost any weight?? If I have how much? You’ll have to watch to find out. So, my door is open, come on in and spend the day with me!

Have I Lost Weight?

Last Day of VEDA Vlog

Can you believe that it’s the end of VEDA?? I can’t. In some ways the month of April just seemed to drag on and on, but in other ways it flew by. Doing a video (almost) every day in April helped to pass the time and it gave me something to do and something to look forward to. During this month I discovered how much I enjoy doing challenge/collaboration videos. I also rediscovered my love for DIYs and crafting. It had been quite some time since I had done a DIY or a craft and once I started doing them for VEDA, the more creative I feel I’ve become. It’s like exercising the creative part of the brain and as it grows “stronger” the more creative you become. I plan to incorporate more DIY’s and crafts in my future videos. Anyway….I will end VEDA with a day in the life. My door is open, come on in and spend the day with me!
