Summer Camping

I think winter is officially here, it has been really cold! The other day my daughter was asking when we were going camping. Our family loves camping, and it has been awhile since we were able to get out and enjoy ourselves. I like to use camping as away to break away from the fast speeds of life. It seems we have become dependent on electronics, and being able to put them all down for a few days is much {Read More}

Switched From Windows

It seems every few months or so I get stuck trying to clean viruses from my laptop. This process has become too much. The last time I did a full wipe was back in June. I wasn’t looking forward to it, but it needed to be done. Recently, I have been getting some browser redirected, but after looking at all the running processes on my computer nothing was out of the norm.

It’s no secret obesity is on a rise, it’s also no secret that we Americans like to eat. Thanksgiving is a time where we all get together with family and friends and socialize over a big feast, and every year at this time our waistlines suffer. This year just say no. When offered that second piece of pumpkin pie, just say no. It’s okay to have some of your favorite Thanksgiving goodies, just know when to stop. Utilizing proper portion {Read More}

Organizing Those Wires

One thing I dislike about my office, is everything I have to have hooked up. I have the phone, the magic jack, the printer, my laptop and a light. This calls for many cords. My husband often gets a bit annoyed with my lack of organization skills. The next time I re-organize my desk I will be checking into getting a wire organizer. This way I won’t be annoying my husband no more, and I can have everything simple and {Read More}
