These are not my home improvements and I had nothing to do with the planning or implementation (can you tell Iām a project manager in my other life), but two of my friends who live in the Dallas area sent pics of their recent projects and I wanted to share them here. Backyard Oasis DF […]
I cannot believe an entire year has passed since I had DFs Shira and Barb for a little Galentineās luncheon. My how time flies when youāre doing almost nothing. I have no plans for entertaining this year, but I did put together a vignette for my hot beverages and was inspired to do two little […]
Iām sort of all done with neutrals. And ready for a bright spring look. So Iām starting in my bedroom with a little refresh. Here is what Iāve done so far and some of my plans. New Platform Bed The new platform bed from Overstock is up and all ready for new bedding. So far […]
While I still love our bedroom furniture and want to keep it ā including our headboard ā the bed-rails and box springs are dated. It has become increasingly hard to find bedding that includes a bed skirt to accommodate that set up. Because I want new bedding, this was a perfect time to update our […]
I am sharing a few new things I got over the past week or two and what I think of them so far. Iām not an affiliate of anyone so Iām linking for convenience. Christmas Jammies I saw these Denver plaid flannel jammies on Target.com and the price was right since they were on sale […]

I love Meatless Mondays, but it can be a challenge finding meals that have no meat and are low in fat and low in starch. Without meat, it’s hard to be satisfied without fat and starch. This week I tried two harvest inspired meatless dishes that are quite yummy. Low in fat and low in […]
Do you still celebrate Halloween or is that just kidsā stuff? It is really my favorite holiday because it involves fun food and drink, lots of creativity and no gifts necessary. Last year we had a fantastic costume party. This year, ummmm, no. Just like everyone else. But there are certain traditions that are easy […]
I feel like Iāve been bragging a bit about being so thrifty with my fall decorating budget. Iāve used my old dĆ©cor and Iāve shopped the house, virtually spending no money. Well, I didnāt want to be too pompous or righteous, so I sprung for a couple of small purchases. Okay, thatās not really why […]
