#4 Greener Shopping

I’ve wanted to be a mesh produce bag user for a long time.  I was never sure about making them myself though, and was apprehensive about the cost of purchasing them.  That was until I found Love For Earth.  This Etsy seller makes adorable produce bags, at quite a discount.  They come in a plethora […]

It’s been awhile since I did one of these, so I’ll double up the questions today! 301. List 5 things you have not experienced that you would like to experience before you die.

Coconut Blueberry Muffins

I’ve got more blueberries than I know to do with – so what do I do? Make muffins! I found an awesome sweet muffin recipe this weekend, and I made a few alterations to make it a little bit more special.  Be warned, this recipe is not healthy!  Sure, I substituted some WW flour for […]

Goal Changing Help!

If you check out my 101 in 1001 goal list, you’ll see that I have three weight loss goals.  I want/need to lose some weight, but I have a massive problem with the scale. Scales are the devil for me, and I’ve successfully stayed away from them for about a year.  Without a scale though, […]

Nope, probably not – you think I’m crazy.  Admit it. Let me tell you […]

Milestones

I hate exercising. I am so envious of those that love a good run and get high off endorphins.   Because, I just do not get it.  I’ve tried taking classes, going to the gym, in home routines, running outside…nothing works – or at least, nothing gets over my brain block of hating every second. […]

Fake Out Mashed Potatoes

Who doesn’t like mashed potatoes? That’s what I thought, everyone loves mashed potatoes. But you know what everyone doesn’t necessarily like? Cauliflower. I do, but I like to prepare for the future – and I can totally envision future Fay children to be picky eaters (who knows why, I know I was NOT) so I’m […]

Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge

If you aren’t already a daily BJF reader, you might want to become one! I will be hosting my first GIVEAWAY within the next week or so.  Just waiting for the item to arrive before I let the chaos begin!   I have no idea if this will be something I’ll be able to do […]

How We Saved Money On Vacation

Let’s just get this out in the open – vacations can be insanely expensive.  In many cases, long trips have the ability to break the budget if not planned carefully. Our trip to Canada was initially budgeted at $3,000 – for 10 nights/11 days.  I’m sure someone could do it for this amount, but we […]
