Emergency Funds: Do you have one?

We are starting an emergency fund (yes, we FINALLY have one of those).

We really need to get our emergency fund built up. I don't like what's going on in the world right now and I'd feel better if we had a safety net. I want to build that up a little faster than we have been but I don't want to give up EVERYTHING to do it. I don't want to pinch every penny...just enough to make me feel a little better.

Do you have an emergency fund?

Gluten Free Diets

I've been thinking about gluten-free diets and whether that kind of "diet" actually does make people feel better. I've also heard and read how that type of diet helps people with thyroid disease.

Snow Day!

Winter fooled ya! Yesterday, it was in the 60's and everybody is outside without jackets enjoying the warming weather and today...blowing snow and weather warnings. Winter is saying "neener, neener, neener" one more time.

Recipe Blog?

I'm noticing many fellow bloggers are switching blogging platforms. I'm wondering if I should do that as well. I found imcreator.com to create your own web sites that seems interesting.  I've also thought about creating a web site for tried and true recipes. People always post these recipes and they've never tried them themselves. I have been on this kick on trying new recipes since I just received a Cuisinart food processor (and it's RED - so excited!!) so perhaps I'd try a recipe, post the recipe with a picture of my results, and add a review.

Kicking the idea around anyway. I don't know. There's so much I want to do (I'm on the warpath, for lack of a better word, to find out more about common core that is started at our local school this year and talking to our state and federal senators and house representatives) so I'm not sure if I should take on another blog or not.
