July 22, 2019 at 7:21 amThose pb oat bars look really easy and good – and they are GF! I might have to try those. Maybe Paul would like them and that would give us another easy breakfast for him. I also loved that grid of salad dressings. I pretty much always make my salad dressing but I make the same combo over and over and over again.
Phones are totally the new cigarette. So ridiculously addicting. I’ve been trying to use the screen time function on the iPhone to limit my use, though, and that has helped. But there is still room for improvement!

July 22, 2019 at 1:22 pmThe Attention Diet is a great read! And I love the salad dressing chart, we like making homemade dressing so that would be a good one to keep around the kitchen!

July 23, 2019 at 2:24 pm“Get renter’s insurance” has been on my to-do list for at least a year, no joke. I’m not even really sure why I haven’t yet, as I’ve been in my apartment for about 5 years! I guess it was because of one of the reasons listed, that I “didn’t have enough (expensive) stuff for renter’s insurance.” I definitely didn’t know that it covered things like hotel expenses in case of an emergency though, and that alone would make it worth it to me. So yeah, I’m going to get it right now! Thanks for sharing :)
