From my summer memories, our long walk around Mackinaw Island show cased a lot of flowers. We promised ourselves we would visit this island again next summer, that is how beautiful it was. The hotels are expensive but it is worth every penny. Will we make a trip, I do not know. But I have…

What could you do more of? Yesterday we went to the grocery store to specifically pick up salt. My husband said why not pick up some groceries too. Okay, just before we left I saw a video about a doctor talking about the goodness of avocado for pre menopausal women. So I picked a few.…

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. When me and my husband first got married, both of us had no clue about cooking. We both were living in a hostel with a mess or canteen that was providing subpar food. So, when we got married, we had our own apartment and a full…

Do you see yourself as a leader? WordPress is running out of ideas for prompts, since they had a similar one asking if we are a leader or a follower. I did answer that I was a team player. Okay, today morning I realized I had become a leader finally. I have been making my…
