Okay, October. You insisted on arriving already so let’s do this. Time to pull on our garden gloves and taken out our freshly cleaned tools and do a little Arizona fall patio planting. Finding the Perfect Plants Beginning with a trip to my favorite local nursery, Summer Winds, I had a lot of friendly assistance […]
Spring kind of came and went. And deep spring-cleaning never happened in our house. Nor did it the year before. So, being motivated (and excited!) by dear SIL and BIL’s visit next month, I dug in and did some fall deep cleaning. “Tidy” is really my middle name. I hate clutter. And the biggest problem […]
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 […]
Squash season is here and I’ve been busy cooking and freezing batches for soup later this winter. But when I saw Joy Bauer’s recipe for Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese Muffins, it called my name. I used a batch of squash for this recipe. I think it is basically the same recipe I made last […]
The time came to say goodbye to our kitchen bar stools. It was another hard parting, much like the dining room we recently changed.

Summer is still in full gear here, but many retail stores have leapfrogged right to Christmas. I took a look at the early fall décor at World Market this week and wanted to share their pretties with you. I am not an affiliate, but I will share links where I can find them. Seems like […]
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 […]
Yes, I took a bit of time off from blogging, but not much time off from looking at other blogs and vlogs. And finding super stuff I didn’t know I needed because they looked so good on the other blogs. Here are the Amazon finds for the bathroom I would recommend. Tissue Box Cover This […]
Our spring herb garden is doing so well, I just had to share with you! I mean share the news and pics, of course, but if you need any cuttings, stop on over and I’ll share that too. What We Have The basil is over the top and I am so happy. Usually when I […]
Receiving an order of cleaning supplies makes me happy? Crazy, I know. But. When the Grove order comes, there’s a sweet handwritten note on the outside of the box. And that’s just the beginning. Here are the highlights from my spring Grove order. I don’t use enough cleaning supplies to order monthly from Grove, so […]
