Anyone want to join me for a December fitness challenge? My goal is to keep the winter blues away, minimize sugar and alcohol, and add a little extra fitness to each day. Are you with me? As the month goes on, this will be like an advent calendar, but instead of little chocolates, I’ll update […]
Is it just me? Is everyone else going out and spending hundreds of dollars on new Christmas dĂ©cor? Because this year I’m Christmas decorating on a dime. In fact, the past couple of years I have weeded out most of my old Christmas stuff and really have very little now. I don’t usually put up […]
(and Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches) I know, I couldn’t stand to waste that alliteration. So it stands alone. Proudly. And we get a little subtitle here. The things that amuse me. And I really am going to share the faux fall floral around the house and our latest linner (lunch/dinner) for super easy slow […]
Do you remember when hub painted our console table to better coordinate with our old dining set? And then. We got a new dining set. And then. The white looked a little stark in our entryway against the new table. And then. I heard about a specialty paint brand for furniture. So we tried, and […]
Autumn 2022 has made a big splash at Target and I thought I would share a few Target Fall Finds from my field trip this week. Wow, my last Target trip was in the Spring, so I guess we are due to see what they have on hand. I am not a Target affiliate, but […]
The time came to say goodbye to our kitchen bar stools. It was another hard parting, much like the dining room we recently changed. Our old counter-height stools were the perfect height, the perfect foot rest, perfect match with the kitchen dining set. But. They were old. And apparently not made to last. The seat […]
It was way past time to bring our dining table and chairs into the 21st century. But when you love something, it’s hard to say goodbye. Don’t you think? So, after heart-wrenching months, the decision was made to sell the bookcase in our dining room and the table and chairs. Hub sold everything on FB […]
This spring and summer I wanted a few colorful touches here and there. Anthropologie for home has so many vibrant choices. If you don’t want to jump into the deep end (like buying an emerald green velvet sofa), but stick your toe in (like buying a velvet throw pillow), some of these suggestions might hit […]
A classic recipe modified with gluten-free flour and bread crumbs and using a jar of Kirkland Tuscany Marinara sauce made an easy gluten-free chicken parmesan “linner.” Using an aluminum foil baking dish made clean up easy too! One of my favs, Natasha’s Kitchen has a video and recipe for Classic Chicken Parmesan with a homemade […]
Of course, everyone knows the weather axiom, “March in like a lion and out like a lamb.” March being March is unpredictable. It’s never really fair to treat Phoenix weather as typical, but March is certainly acting as transitional here as it is in other parts of the country. Gorgeous pool weather last week and […]
