I may be becoming dependent on apps. In my defense, many on my devices are practical and help make life just a little easier. I’m also a fan of apps for self-improvement. There are certain apps you just have to have on your phone. I mean, seriously...
I’m very grateful I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I’m often perplexed by my husband’s need for nightly ice cream. I eat ice cream maybe once or twice a year. He will also eat the hell out of some brownies, cookies, cake, pie or anything with...
