How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I looked at schools and at first I was discouraged because they cost so much, but with the push of my husband and the ok, I decided to go for it. The student loans are crazy but I'm so glad I did it. It was a 6 month program and then an internship and now I am a full time baker in NYC! Read how I did it…

cheerful
How I did it: When I was a little girl I would watch the parade on TV and wish I could be standing in the crowd. At the time I lived in IL so I never thought there would be any chance that I would even come close to NYC, especially during Thanksgiving!

I’m trying to be a vegetarian. I don’t eat red meat much as it is, so that’s the 1st thing I gave up this week. Mainly I eat chicken and fish. So next week I’m giving up the chicken.
