yummy GF snacks

A few weeks ago, I ordered several new Gluten Free products that I had never tried and I finally got around to trying the Ener-G Wheat Free Crackers.

I LOVE THEM!!! They are sooooo good with cream cheese, peanut butter, regular cheese slices and I even like them plain!

I also grabbed a loaf of Rudi's Bakery Gluten Free Multi-grain Bread the other day and I tried it this afternoon.



HOLY COW! I love this more than I love Udi's GF Bread and I loved that a whooooole lot. I think this brand is the most similar to regular brand. A lot of times, GF bread crumbles but my turkey and Swiss sandwich (with lots of condiments and vegetables of course), upheld the ultimate test. It stayed together and didn't crumble. It was soft and so delicious! I highly recommend this bread!!!

What kinds of GF food are you loving??

Living Simply Soap Sale

I absolutely love small businesses. I love the personality and individuality that goes into each and every one of them. One of my very FAVORITE small businesses is Living Simply Soap. The owner, Tanya Brown is one of the greatest people in the world. I went to high school with her son and now Mark and I are really great friends with him and his wife and we are an "auntie" and "uncle" to their little boy, Burke. Mark and I consider the whole Brown Family, a part of our family. So with all that said, you should head on over to Living Simply Soap or if you are local, stop in the shop and check out her products and this amazing sale going on right now...

Not only have I used almost every item in her shop, I have also purchased quite a bit for myself and for gifts! Her products are simply AMAZING and they are simply inexpensive, plus they are ALWAYS adding new products!! You can't go wrong with Living Simply Soap, because what you use on your skin matters!

what i'm loving wednesday

I know it's a little late, but I am just NOW getting home from work!! So regardless if anyone else reads this, I am still going to link up with Jamie at This Is Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday because I have a lot of things I am loving!

I am LOVING that I got FREE flowers from Kroger. For NO reason. How lovely are these? (Minus the junk in the background)

I am LOVING that my lovely boyfriend surprised me by planting the plant that we got a few months back...in the planter that we also got...a few months back. I didn't even notice for TWO days. How crazy am I not to notice that 40lbs. of soil are no longer sitting in my living room??!!??

I am LOVING that I was asked to be on staff for a Sr. High Retreat in March! I absolutely LOVE every single one of those youth so it just makes me heart melt when I get asked to serve them and my God.

I am LOVING Parenthood. I say this because it's the one show that I actually do get to see because I don't work traditional work hours.

I am LOVING the ideas that the Wellness Committee I sit on at work has come up with for the next quarter.

I am LOVING this DIY Scarf that I made...and I LOVE that I made it in less than 10 minutes

I am LOVING these Pinterest finds...







What are YOU LOVING today???

DIY scarf

I have linked up with At Home with K for Terrific Under Ten Tuesday.

I had the urge to be crafty, so what better place to turn to than my "just call me martha stewart" Pinterest board.

I made this beauty!!! And I can't wait to get my hands on some bigger t-shirts so that I can make longer ones!!!

I'm really loving mustard yellow right now so I was happy to cut up the Wright State University tee that I no longer wear!

In case you want to make your own all you need is a t-shirt that you no longer want or need and a pair of scissors. Cut the hem off the bottom and set it aside. Then cut 1/2" strips (width wise) all the way to the armpits. Once you have cut your strips, stretch each of them out (they will curl on their own) and then place them together and use the hem to tie it together. I didn't need any money for this project and it took less than 10 minutes. Some of my friends have even asked for one!!

Have you made anything from Pinterest?
How about you try a Terrific Under Ten Tuesday project and don't forget to link up Kindra at At Home with K!!

what i'm loving wednesday

It's been awhile since I have linked up with Jamie over at This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday but I have a lot of things I'm loving right now...

I am LOVING that I will have a long weekend. Thanks, MLK!

I am LOVING that I am making extra money via eBay!

I am LOVING that I have started a new blog, couponing make$ cent$!

I am LOVING that I get to see my handsome boyfriend tomorrow!!! (he has been in Indiana working)

I am LOVING that my gluten-free order from Vitacost came in the mail today! And I am LOVING that I only paid $5.00 (shipping) for ALL of it!! Leave me a comment and I will send you a FREE $10 coupon on your first purchase via email or Facebook - that's how I got all of this for $5.00!!! They have so many items to choose from, it's hard to decide!

I am LOVING  that our youth came back today!! I sure have missed them!!!!

I am LOVING that One Tree Hill started. Yes, it's a guilty pleasure and I have been watching it since it first started so how could I not finish it. It replaced my all-time favorite, Dawson's Creek!

I am LOVING all the fresh fruits and vegetables I have been eating.

I am LOVING that I only spent $5.16 on all of this and I am LOVING that I get to donate all of it (except the finish - I really did need that)

I am LOVING that I get to sleep in a little more now that we have the youth back.

I am LOVING that I am now a part of the MC Savers Club at work (a coupon club that gets us discounted papers and a chance to swap coupons and talk about our savings)!!

I am LOVING life right now! Things are soooooo good!!!
