You might realize I’m not much of a shopper – going into stores, that is. But. I do love a good bargain. And tis the season for after Christmas shopping! I’ll share with you a couple of things I’m purchasing this week. Print Magazines I’m not sure if it’s a one-day deal or not, but […]
Hey, buddies, how are you doing? Hanging in there? Wishing this was over? Having a restful, peaceful time? Totally stressed out? A little of all of the above? Many are happy 2020 is over and looking forward to a better year ahead. But. Just in case, I thought it might be a good idea to […]
Do you have memories of attending church and then going to Grandma’s for a big Sunday dinner? I do and my grandma had been a farm girl and she cooked big time. Those Sundays are sweet in my memories. But things are a little different around here. We play pickleball on Sundays and then usually […]
I am always happy to share a positive shopping experience and this week I received shipments from two companies with excellent customer service. Here’s the scoop. Chewy.com Roxy is experiencing renal issues (common in cats but serious) and needs to eat prescription food. The first two options she tried, she ate a couple times and […]
Putting together a simple mimosa bar and bloody Mary bar adds fun and several options to a brunch menu with very little effort. A very casual Sunday brunch has become our quarantine habit this year.

This week’s home improvement project was super sexy. We had the ceilings taped and mudded. Now they are ready for paint. Yes, we know how to have a good time AND spend money. You might remember last November, during one rain storm after another, we had our roof replaced. Where there were leaks, there was […]
I haven’t seen a weather map of the US in a while, but you would think we’re being bombarded by snowy scenes reminiscent of Currier and Ives. Or a Hallmark movie. But judging by all the outdoor winter decorations I see, it’s time to say goodbye to Thanksgiving and hello to Christmas. It is supposed […]
I don’t know about you, but I have just been carb loading lately. Cannot get enough bread. Or potatoes. And I’m giving in to the urges. So we dug out our old bread machine and tried a new recipe this week. And I channeled my grandma and made biscuits. Again. For Meatless Monday I made […]
