The humble little Dandelion has remarkable nutritional value, being very high in vitamins A and C, with more beta carotene than carrots and more potassium than broccoli or spinach, not to mention healthy doses of iron and copper for good measure. Medicinally, Dandelions are considered very safe and effective as a general tonic that helps strengthen the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, and intestines, improving bile flow and reducing inflammation in cases of hepatitis and cirrhosis. Dandelions also help to dissipate gallstones and are believed to improve kidney function, thereby improving overall health and clearing skin problems.
My love for Sephora is well known, however I do buy a lot of my beauty must-haves
 from my constant trips to Target as well.

Keep Good Going – Whistle While You Work
from What’s Up Fagans

My whistling mother
My mother had faults and things that I couldn’t stand. And I often vowed to myself that I would never be like my mother. However, I am actually a lot like my mother, much to the shame of my teenage self. Not only do I look much more like my mother than my father (thank goodness!), with my long neck, oval face, thin eyebrows, weird fingernails, size eleven feet, and poor English circulation, teeth, and eyesight, but I act like her too


Buffalo Chicken Tortilla Pizza
From Lambert’s Lately

A few weeks ago, I found out about the beauty of the tortilla pizza.
It was in one of my eMeals recipe lists, and I fell in love.

How did I never know about this?  Instead of worrying with pizza dough, just slap your
 ingredients on a tortilla…it makes a deliciously thin crust.  You’d never know it was a tortilla!

Big Girl Easter Baskets 
From Penny’s Vintage Home

Easter baskets come in all sizes and shapes….some are filled with pretty colored eggs,  some are filled with candy…some with cute little stuffed bunnies…but what about us “big” girls…we want an Easter basket too!

UpCycled Foot Stool 
from Redo It Yourself Inspirations

A thrift shop find that I actually like!  With just a few changes using leather belts and paint,
 this foot stool can have a whole new look. 

5 Reasons to Strength Train
From Grace, Lace & Iron

Committment: This word is one that probably holds less meaning than any other word in the dictionary, to the current generation. We are a society of instant gratification. Period.We want our fast food, entertainment, and our lives to be well, uh, faster. Never mind who we hurt in the process…who cares about learning the value of people…we must get to where we’re going…AND FAST


Strawberries and Cream Pancake Roll 
From Curious Cuisiniere

We love wraps for a quick, portable lunch.  We’ve only successfully rolled one set of cabbage rolls; so we need a bit of training on that one before we attempted them again. Stuffed is always good.  But, we have a lot of stuffed recipes: German Stuffed Rolls, Russian Stuffed Rolls, and the Polish version of ravioli – Pierogi.
We wanted to get out of our stuffed box. (Yup. Pun intended.)
I threw out the idea for stuffed pancakes. Sure, it’s still stuffed, but at least we would move to the breakfast realm. (And, you’ll probably be seeing those make an appearance here soon, because the idea really intrigued us.) But, Tim ran the idea a few steps further and suggested a stuffed pancake roll
