The polar bear paint was not even dry on the walls and I came up with a new project. One to do with a saw and a nail gun and measuring and paint. And a visit to Home Depot. So of course, the project wasn’t for me. The beautifully white breakfast bar was doomed to […]
Since canned pumpkin seems difficult to procure and since I opened a can for my homemade pumpkin latte, I didn’t want to waste an ounce of what I had left over. So I made gluten-free pumpkin donuts in my adorable champagne colored mini donut pan. Sally’s Baking Addiction has never given me a bad recipe, […]
No full-fledge fall decorating around here yet. I like to dip my toe into seasonal decorating, and it’s way too early for pumpkins and leaves. But I took a little gander around TJ Maxx this weekend and here are a couple of September finds I thought I’d share. Some I purchased, some I did not. […]
Remember the recent post about my bicycle? I really love toodling around on my bike with no agenda. And as I mentioned, I don’t bike for exercise, just for pleasure. Except for the part where my buns are in misery on Day 2, and then Day 3 never happens. Somehow the pleasure gets lost along […]
All the rain we’ve had has allowed me to change up my summer fitness routine. Long walks, short runs and bike rides have been added into the mix of walking to the gym for an early morning workout. Wait. Did I say “bike rides”? Yes, I did. I have no reason not to ride my […]
It’s been a while since the last Trader Joe’s visit and there were some new things I haven’t tried. Here’s a little share of my purchases and some honest reviews.

The Dyson V6 stick vac we have been using and loving for a few years can no longer hold a charge long enough to spot vacuum the entire house. Darn it. That’s after we replaced the battery once already, too. Those little stick vacs are quite an investment – like shockingly expensive, in my opinion, […]
Amazon Prime Day had a few (or more) appealing items and I ordered more than I usually do. And then I spent the next two weeks purging my house and garage. Hmmm. Guilt? Junk overload? Oh, well, I got suckered in on the bargains and today I’m sharing a few of the purchases and my […]
Clothes shopping was pretty minimal last year. The lack of any place to go and the (in my humble opinion) blah fashion colors that were available were pretty unappealing. But. This year is a whole other story. I am drawn to the rainbow sherbet colors out this summer and couldn’t resist a little shopping splurge. […]
All things cheerful have a place in my home. I recently purchased a few things that meet that pretty simple criteria and I’m sharing them here with you. Highly Rated Faux Tulips Don’t you just love the word “faux.” Like it doesn’t scream FAKE? Me too, just love it. Earlier this spring I filled my […]
