A New Way to Chat and Snap Via Picpal
Ever wanted an app that allowed you to message, take pictures (not just selfies), and allowed you to talk with your friends or family (privately) – all together? Well, picpal is that app! What’s more it doesn’t matter if you have an iDevice or an Android (sorry, Windows app store is not currently available); and that means a lot as not all families and friends are in the same camp when it comes to their phones or tablets.

It’s not simple … yet it is. When I look at my two kids I can instantly see them as if they were just placed into my arms. I can see them or imagine them when they’re graduating or getting married or having children of their own. It’s rewarding…

Still Using the Power Pressure Cooker (Pt 2)
Most of you know if you read my last post about the Power Pressure Cooker XL that I am experimenting and trying some of my tried and true – regular oven/stove top made recipes in it. Obviously, I am still using it (almost daily) and I’m still in awe of it and daily feel as if someone gave me magic beans! I still love being a “lemming” / having a “lemming pot” and the best part is that the kids are really enjoying – and I mean REALLY enjoying their food too! Never has food tasted as flavorful before. I mean I can cook and felt like I was a…
