Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Cups


Do you eat a healthy breakfast? I do if I have something all ready prepared, something I just need to heat up or take out of the fridge and eat.

How to Organize Your Photos




We all seem to have them, all those old photos we have in boxes, in drawers, or in odd envelopes stuck all around the house. We may have old family photos, school pictures, sentimental notes we just don't want to throw out.

The frames had long since been removed and now I couldn't put them in photo albums or even in different frames without getting them unstuck.
