I’m not crazy about shopping. Especially when it comes to grocery shopping; my goal is to get in and out as quickly as possible. It’s an exhausting process to make all those decisions, so I try to be efficient. I make a list and ALWAYS try to eat something beforehand. Otherwise, you know what they say, you’ll grab anything in the store that looks like it would taste yummy. For me, that would be …

The Bigger the Fur Balls the Better
Animals are funny. Never thought I’d say this, but they seem like they’re almost human. We are step-parents to my daughter’s dog, Penny, a lovely chocolate lab.

We have a routine where we let her out for her morning relief before filling her food dish. She’s barely …
