Busy February

What a fun and busy week I had. Pour yourself a cup o’ something and join me as I show you what happened. February is a busy month in the Phoenix area. There are really big events going on and the weather is iffy. In fact, it’s been cool, sweater weather but nothing to keep […]

Thrift with Me

Thanks for spending some time while I visit my favorite local senior-dog rescue shop, and thrift with me. The impetus (is that a word?) for a recent visit to Rusty’s was to look for some barware. If that seems random, stay with me here. Our bar is in a corner off the beaten path of […]

Low Carb Pizza Rolls

Inspired by a copy cat recipe of Totino’s Pizza Rolls, I made these low carb pizza rolls and I must say, Totino’s can’t hold a candle to them! They are so good. Low carb and gluten free. They are rich and crunchy and chewy. With just enough pepperoni to taste meaty without being overwhelming. We […]

Hopefully you have access to an Aldi’s because you’re going to want to go there. These organization products have gone viral and I can see why. The quality is great […]

But it is one of those things that are always, “Someday we otta….”  This week we made it happen. Restaurant Very last minute we called Evon […]

Winter Tree Trimming

Thank you, friend, if you have continued reading this post and gotten past the title.  Really?  Winter Tree Trimming?  You want to talk about that? Okay.  Bring it on. You might not think that getting our trees trimmed is such a big deal, but for me it is.  Because.  It means we took a step […]

Magazines!

Now magazine ain’t what they used to be.  And mostly because of people like me.  People who blog online with tons of useful (and not-so) information.  For free.  So why buy a magazine?  And have you seen how much they cost?  Yikes! Dear friend Jann requested a blog post about magazines and here you go. […]
