I am a having a great time baking and cooking. I’ve eaten a lot of traditional and also new (to me) foods. I have enjoyed eating and spending time with my family and friends the last few days. I survived the 3 meals during Thanksgiving Day. I didn’t take a lot of pictures as I […]
I set goals each and every day. I find that I go about my day with a purpose if I set goals ahead of time. Some goals are very specific such as studying for certain amount of hours each day while other goals are more broad and general such as staying fit. In general I […]
