Sometimes it's just hard to make it to the grocery store.  We get busy or tired, our lives have us rushing around and it is hard to find time even to make a quick stop to pick up a few things.  How great would it be to have a "personal shopper" get to know your personal preferences overtime and deliver your groceries right to your home?   You won't miss out on waiting in traffic, searching for parking spots in a crowded lot, and standing in long check-out lines.  

If this all sounds good, you must check out "Envoy - Grocery delivery with a personal touch". Your Personal Shopper can start shopping for you at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.  Costco will be coming soon!  

Save time and energy with this excellent service.  I know I'm going to try it

I stumbled across this recipe on a health & fitness blog, "Carrots 'n' Cake" and I can't wait to make it!  It is a healthy twist on a favorite of my past, the traditional packaged Ramen noodles.  My husband and I are working on healthier eating habits and with this version we may have found a winner. Not to mention it is so easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces carrot noodles (I used a package of frozen carrot spirals from Trader Joe’s)
• 4 ounces cooked chicken breast (I used leftover crockpot shredded chicken)
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 3 heaping teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon (or 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed into powder)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Garnish:  toasted and regular sesame seeds

The sport of orienteering is form of land navigation where you locate "control points" by using a map and a compass to navigate through the woods. This is a sport that can be done competitively in a group or individually and can keep you moving fairly quickly, or you may enjoy it as a nice walk in the woods.  A standard orienteering course consists of a start, a series of control sites that are marked by circles, connected by lines and numbered in the order they are to be visited, and a finish.  The control site circles are centered around the feature that is to be found.  It’s also an easily planned outdoor activity for a group of friends, youth group, or any organization that wants to enjoy time outdoors along with some team-building.

Meet The Jester Chef 

"When I work with you as your personal chef, we'll begin with a client interview at your home. We'll discuss at length your dietary needs, what you'd prefer to avoid, any allergies you might have, and your past great experiences in food. From there, we'll work to build your menu for the week, each meal tailored to your needs for the day. Do you go to the gym on Tuesdays? Then we'll keep your carb and protein levels to where they need to be to accomplish your goals that day. Feeling your allergies kicking up? There are naturally occurring antihistamines in common foods that we can incorporate into your breakfasts. I'll also familiarize with your kitchen so that I know what equipment I will need to bring in order to complete

Clients are asking about "Zestimates" which is the estimate of value on Zillow and if it is accurate.  First of all, it is important to understand that Zillow is NOT in real estate.  It is a public service liken to a library but it is a business website.  Zillow is designed to lure people who want to gaze at homes and, in turn, to sell advertising to real estate professionals.  

How does Zillow come up with their numbers?  Basicaly, Zillow gathers data to create an algorithm that predicts sales prices for about 110 million U.S. homes listed on the site.  However, Zillow's online valuations are not perfect.
