Heather

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. The beginning stages of being an Empty Nester, what I want that to look like and making it up as I go. My hope is that I can share some fun stuff with you, and get to know you through this blog and social media.

Who still uses a Wireless Phone? A Panasonic Cordless Phone Review

landlineWell, I do!

And Here is Why:

  1. I’m old school.  I am at home most of the time, and so though I do have a smart phone I rarely use it to actually phone anyone.

25 Pounds and The Benefits of Coconut Oil

25-poundsI am just going to get right to the good news today, because I am too excited not to.

I started this WOE on August 3rd, so today is my 5 week mark.  In that time, I have lost a total of 25.8 pounds.  I am absolutely thrilled with that result.

On most weight loss programs, you are lucky if you lose 5 pounds in a month, and right now I am averaging 5 pounds a week!  I don’t imagine this level will continue forever, but I was starting with a very large amount of weight (100+ pounds) that needs to go away. Continue reading
