Spring Cleaning (Light)

Have you started your spring cleaning yet?  Do you intend to do it this year?  I think what I’m doing I consider spring cleaning light. Meaning I am just dipping my toe in to see how the water is. Do the baseboards really need attention?  They seem okay. Do the transoms need cleaning?  Well, it […]

Aldi Spring & Easter

Sorry to be sharing another Aldi shopping post so soon after the last one with all my favorite dupes. But the spring and Easter products are out and the holiday is quickly approaching. So, if you are a celebrator of bunnies and such, let’s take a peek. Easter Décor The ceramic bunnies and platters and […]

Aldi Shopping Secrets

My love for Aldi is not a secret. However, I’ve been doing some Nancy Drew work investigating other shopping secrets. And I’m sharing some today. So many influencers love Aldi for their center aisle dupes – meaning non-food items. While I cannot attest to how awesome all the items are, I have seen a lot […]

April 2025 Potpourri

Can you believe it?  I am actually typing APRIL 2025.  Wasn’t it just Thanksgiving?  Yep, I knew you’d agree.  Time to catch up on a bit of this and that for a cup o’ tea and some potpourri. What I’m Eating This is super boring in our house lately.  I’m trying to get to a […]

TJ Maxx Spring Shopping

Wow! That is all I have to say about my local TJ Maxx – wow! Shopping at TJ Maxx can be less than relaxing with hoards of shoppers, messy shelves and sifting through one-of-a-kind products. But on my recent TJ Maxx spring shopping trip I was impressed by the store. There were tons of associates, […]

I know!  So am I.  That motivated me to pop into World Market this week and take a peek at their new outdoor furniture offerings. And guess what?  They are all really […]

Spring Refresh – No Shopping

With longer, warmer days, I was ready for a spring refresh, but not ready for shopping. I dug out all my Easter/Spring stuff and used a bit of it here and there. Right after Christmas I did my bigger spring decorating because winter is so depressing to me. I’ve been happy with the simple clean […]

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 […]

Aldi Organization

I know I’ve posted about Aldi before and you know I love their charcuterie section (who wouldn’t?) but today it’s all about Aldi organization products. 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 […]

Early Spring Refresh

Okay, I’m pretty sure January is not considered spring in anyone’s encyclopedia.  As in, it is the dead of winter.  But my mood badly needed an early spring refresh. I would not call this a redecorate, but I added a few cheerful touches that put me right in the spring mindset. Come along and let […]
