Keto success!


My husband and I have been doing the keto diet for a little over a month now. At first I wasn’t really into it, thinking that it would just result in another failed diet. I thought that I just needed to accept myself as being overweight, but then my husband started dropping almost one pound per day.



He started bragging about how great it was going for him and that I should really be into it all the way, or. It at all. Peer pressure! So the first thing we did is get rid of all our temptations in the house. Anything in the refrigerator or pantry that had more than 8 carbs, we gave away. (To our starving college kid) 






Me before and after Keto- 30 days in....
I went from a loose size 16 pants to a size 12. 

Almost Every Morning:
Coffee, Heavy Cream, two packets stevia

One really helpful tool that I have used is an app called Carb Manager. Download the Carb manager app and type in your information. The key is to follow the apps suggestions such as following the fats, protein and carbohydrates percentages. Do not go over on your calories and carbs. 

Everything you need to know, you can find on You-tube under Thomas Delaur. He gives free advice and his videos are free.


The Carb manager app also has a scanner under add foods. It will give you a grade on the Keto level. 

If you can plan your meals to be 500 calories under your daily allowance, it will help you with weight loss. At first you feel a little hungry, but then your body adjusts.

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket? Fidget blankets are therapeutic small lap quilts to which different kinds of things are sewn or added on. These items offer sensory stimulation that can have a calming effect on patient who struggle with memory loss. The Fidget blankets help them stay busy avoiding boredom. It provides a means of performing repetitive behaviors that are often reassuring and calming. ...

Diamonds Are Forever Quilt Block

Saw this pattern on Facebook and Pinterest, so I eyed the pattern and came up with my own measurements. Supposedly... this is a old pattern. It caught my attention because it uses remnants of fabric and I hate seeing things go to waste. This project uses a dryer sheet. So... save your dryer sheets!  Cut a piece of paper and dryer sheet to 6.5” square.  Find the 2” width and mark with line.  Draw a line on the left and right to the bottom center.  Cut out pattern piece.  Cut a rectangular piece of fabric for the center piece. 3” x 9.5” Place pattern piece on top of the fabric and cut to size. I used symmetrical patterns / colors on each side of the diamond. The width of fabric was 1/2” - 2”, s and used scrap triangle pieces for the ends.  Watch short video clip „ here “ Finished block size should be 6.5“ Very similar to endless chain:
