Simple beauty!

Orchid

Sometimes the most simple things are also the most beautiful. I received an orchid from a neighbor a while back and I’m happy to say that it’s still alive and doing great! I read about how to care for it, and really didn’t think it would make it past week two.

I’ve done good… no overwatering, it’s happy where its at and it’s rewarding me by being the most beautiful elegant orchid ever!

Now with Christmas and holidays behind you, are you looking forward to New Year’s Eve? The beginning of a New Year is soon to come… rest up!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Happy New Year… and New You??

Happy New Year and welcome to 2011!  It’s going to be a great year, right?! I’m starting off the year with one resolution crossed off my list (starting this blog!!), ok, so I don’t really do resolutions, but at least SOMETHING crossed off my list, which feels good!

After a month (or so) of eating food that I really shouldn’t have been eating, it’s time to scale back, find something halfway healthy and get a grip. I would include a photo of our own Vitamix, but this one is prettier, ha ha… Have you ever tried a Vitamix? Awesome smoothies, they can crush ice in an instant they can even make soup! If you get a chance, give it a shot, maybe you can sneak some veggies into your day, hee hee.

I am excited to be starting another blog and I look forward to hearing your comments throughout the year. My other blog is a photoblog, you can check it out at http://almostdailypic.wordpress.com, it began as a project to try to figure out HOW to blog. It quickly became an addiction! 

Until tomorrow…
