Butterfly exhibit cost $3 per person and is well worth the money. My daughter loved it we actually spent many hours she loved it the Butterflies land on you she had one hanging on her eye. They teach you about the butterfly, and using a qtip with sugar water you can attract the butterflies.

It took my daughter a little bit to become comfortable with the butterflies but once she did she was truly happy she even used her own money to pay for a second time to go in to the exhibit- lets say we spent 3 hours total of the 6.5 hours we at the flower show in this exhibit.

Menu Planning Monday : The Truth

January 12, 2015 superexhausted

So I am getting better at planning my meals. I know I have been doing meal plans for a while but my choices have been less than stellar. So since before Christmas I have been cutting back on my sugars and carbs because I an a type 2 diabetic. There I said it out loud, and my A1C number was bad like 5 point over what it should because I have ignored what that I have a diabetes. Been eating everything and not taking care of myself, food or exercise.

So I am going to try to watch my carbs and see how I do I am also going to nutritionist counseling and diabetic counseling all my choice .. the doctor did not order it, she wanted to give me a stronger drug but I said no.. I want to figure this out. So I have 3 months to get in better healthy. I am testing my sugars daily as they prescribed.

2 weeks in I am hungry and I miss my high fat bad choice foods..like, chips, ice cream, cheese-steaks. I know I can have a cheese-steak everything in moderation. Yea me and moderation need to become friends.

My family where it will be an adjustment. My husband and daughter will be fine they will adjust. But my 13year carivour son. He is not going to be a fan of less meat, and starch. I really hate the idea of cooking 2 meals. This past 2 weeks I have been better at taking a small portions, and pairing them with a large salad.

The problem for me is too many carbs at snacks – See an small apple is 15 grams.. I really love large apples, the big honey crisps. Also when I am hungry I love olives.. yea they are high in sodium.

I have been prepping celery, so that is giving me the crunch. I am still a work in progress for what works for me.

I am going to end there for now because I know everyone has an opinion, I am going to professionals and doing the lowering of my number slow and steady.

What is on the meal plan this week.

Monday: Meatless Monday: Spaghetti Squash and Tomato Bake I found on LittleGreenBites looks yummy

Tuesday: Chicken Stew with sweet potatoes

Wednesday: Chilli with cornbread for me served in acorn squash

Thursday: Grilled Shrimp and Mushrooms on a kale salad (family on pasta)

Friday: Homemade Pizza

I will let you know how it all goes.

December 30, 2014 superexhausted 3 Comments

Easy Crochet Edge Dollar Store Gloves I love when you find something inexpensive and turn it in to a gem. I started working on these $1 gloves a few years ago when the owner of TheTwinery sent me a sample and said you will create something. I finally deiced I should share the quick easy gift that is an do anywhere craft for under $8. Crochet Edge Dollar store gloves. Mow I am not a crocheter all I know how to do is edge stuff, I have tried to learn to crochet and the little old lady said i will never get crochet because I am a knitter. So the extend of my knowledge is a basic crochet chain stitch. Which is what there simple gloves are.

What do you need to make Crochet Edge Gloves:

Leaving the yarn on needle go through the glove again.
Wrap the yarn again an pull through print your new loop thorough the one that is on the needle
Then loop the yarn around the hook and back through the loop that is on the hook repeat 3 times (this is a single needle chain or single crochet
Then after the 4th chain stitch – put the hook back through the cuff of the glove
bring the loop through again and repeat 3-4 chains
Go around the entire cuff to where you started. If you have the yarn and want go around again. Each of the Twine yarn when around 2 cuff twice (like the red pair of gloves)
Just tie off the 1st color (pulling the cut twine through the loop) and start the 2nd color repeating the steps, I attached at once loop of chain stitch.
Repeat the chain stitch process on the 2nd color
When you go around the entire cuff with second color tie off.
The weave the tails (ends) of the yarn through crochet so it – Here is a you tube video link How to weave Tails on Crochet
