About 17 years ago I was diagnosed with insulin resistance. Basically, when I eat carbs or sugar my body will produce a normal amount of insulin.

Windows and Best Buy Make Buying a New PC Even Easier
Let’s be honest… do you still have an older computer hanging around that is running XP or Vista? I’ll admit it if you do.

I had to get into the routine of cleaning the cat box every day, but with four kids and now … [Read more...]

Before I was a blogger, I carried “family” cards. I always got surprised looks and “Why haven’t I thought of that?!” remarks when I would hand one to a new acquaintance. I knew from experience that hand written numbers on torn off shreds of paper tend to get lost easily. … [Read more...]
