Random goings on...

Our computer died a couple of weeks ago. It's a bit depressing, because we really cannot afford to replace it right now. I am trying to focus on the positives. I had JUST uploaded 2 years worth of pictures to Costco.com and ordered hardcopies of them for our photo albums. Phew! Also, we both have iPhones. Honest to god, we would be SO screwed without them!

However, my lack of a computer is throwing a cog in the wheel of this blog. So far I haven't figured out how to get pictures on the blog (from my phone). And, it's just a little more complicated to post in general. But, what are ya gonna do?

In other news, I started using whole wheat flour instead of white flour. So, I'm feeling like it's a good, healthier step for me & my family. And, it's been a success in most things...meaning we actually LIKED the end result. The only thing I made that ended up a little too heavy was blueberry scones. I think it's because they are already more dense, the whole wheat flour was a bit excessive. I may try it again, with half white & half whole wheat. But other baked goods have been pretty tasty. The other thing I have been using is splenda instead of sugar. Whether you agree if it's healthier or not, it IS a LOT less calories, so that's really good for me! So between the whole wheat flour & the splenda, I am feeling way better about my cravings for baked goods. ;)
