Share Four Somethings January 2025

It is the first Share Four Somethings post of the new year! I am DETERMINED to be close to time with these posts, LOL, but we'll see how the year goes. If only determination equaled success, right?! Well, new year, new things to share. Our monthly prompts have been tweaked a bit. For 2025 they are some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. While the prompts may be new, our host is not, we are still linking up with Jennifer! 

Junk Journal

So, I have a new hobby based off of an old hobby. I recently heard of junk journaling from Deb, a book blogger friend. I am sure I had heard of it before and simply forgotten it. Anyway, she mentioned that she had finished her second junk journal and I was intrigued by the picture she posted.  So, I went researching to see what it was, and then immediately started TWO. Because I am an overachiever like that, LOL!

Dreaming of a Sabbatical

We were dreaming of a white Christmas, but that didn't pan out. However, we have had a white January. We have had snow on the ground since January 1st, with fresh snow still falling today (1/19/25).

Reusable Paper Towels

Before Christmas, I was talking to Matt and I told him that I had come across a blog talking about reusable paper towels. I LOVED the idea and couldn't believe I had never thought of it before. Essentially, you use old towels, washcloths, or flannels to make the paper towels. Who doesn't have old towels laying around? But, you can pretty them up with other fabric. To see how it is done, you can click here. I love how the blogger lists all the reasons you should switch to reusable paper towels, it is a great article and they are so easy to make.

Tourist for a day-Brunswick Lake Nature Preserve

Brunswick Lake Nature Preserve-one of the first places Matt and I hiked/walked after moving to Ohio, but I never got the post posted. So, here are pictures from September 2023 (gah, how has it been that long?!)

December 2024 Share Four Somethings

Well, once again I am very late to the party. December has come and gone and we are practically halfway through January. The weekend this post was due I was traveling to TN, and once we got back home, we hit the ground running. I still have very little free time, and I am trying to balance everything, but not doing as well as I would like. 

Another health update

So it's been a year or so since I have done an in-depth health update. The last time was when I talked about histamine intolerance and a LOT has happened since then so it's going to be another long update. My doctor had me take the Genova Diagnostics NutrEval test, which identifies nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies.
