Take Your Vitamins Habit COMPLETE

One-a-day

*Don’t forget.  Time is almost up for the GRANOLA GIVEAWAY! Yesterday I finished my latest Shabbott’s Habit: Take Your Vitamins! Disclaimer:  I should start by explicitly stating that the supplements that I take might not necessarily be the supplements that you should take.  I am not a doctor.  In fact, I consulted my own primary physician before beginning my supplement regimen and if you’re unsure about what or how many supplements you should be taking, then I would recommend that you consult your own doctor. I feel like I’m really getting a handle on building my healthy lifestyle.  Plus, by … Continue reading

My Favorite Chili Recipe

Chili-close

First an important reminder: Don’t forget to enter the GRANOLA GIVEAWAY! Now onto this tastiness – Yup. Best.  Chili.  Ever. In the past, I’ve been  known to throw together a quick pot of chili with the assistance of one of those grocery-store seasoning packets. But this past Sunday I had some time on my hands, and I wanted to make something to welcome Fall and all of the great recipes that come with this season, so I decided to make chili with the spices that I had hanging out in my kitchen cabinet. My God am I glad that I … Continue reading

Mouse-capades Continue

Swordfish-Ravioli

FRIDAY Mouse update: After cleaning out our storage closet on Thursday night, we found that the mouse had discovered Stormy’s travel bag, and had eaten through a ziplock bag to get to her food and treats. Knowing what the mouse preferred, we loaded our traps with crushed up dog biscuits. Friday morning we awoke to empty traps.  The mouse had strategically taken the treats without setting the traps off!  I may start calling him Houdini. Oh, and he left us lots of little “presents” on the counter – just to be sure that we knew he was there. To make … Continue reading

House Mouse

Mouse-hunt

Wednesday: Wednesday afternoon I posted this to my Facebook wall: Funny post?  Sure. Funny situation?  Absolutely not. This is my third year living in my apartment and I have never had a problem with a rodent.  Until now. It all started when the Hubs noticed some little brown “presents” that were left around the house while I was away in South Carolina. Monday I confirmed that the “presents” were, in fact, from a mouse. Tuesday night traps were set and loaded with peanut butter. This morning there were no mice in the traps and the peanut butter was still there, … Continue reading
