Welcome to AHWH :) I am a mid-forties small business women who is just entering into that second phase of life. The phase where all my kids have almost moved on to their next adventure, and now I am looking at the question "What do I Want to be When They Grow Up?!" AHWH is about sharing that with you.

My hope is that I can share some fun stuff with you, and get to know you through this blog and social media.

Low Carb Recipe Share that I was Thrilled to find!

Published | By Heather

One thing I have missed for a long time with my low carb life are sandwiches.

Most ordinary sandwiches I can substitute cloud bread and all is well. Sandwiches that require toasting don’t work so good with the cloud bread though.
