Like many, I want to be green when I can, but caustic chemicals and single-use products must be at an all-time high usage over the past year. I’m adding environmentally friendly products where I feel comfortable. Here’s what I’m doing. Joining Grove Collaborative recently has brought a collection of home and personal care to my […]
Unlike other people in my household, I don’t have a ton of shoes. And yes, I am a woman. And yes that is gender slamming, I’m sure. But, even I break down and need a little refresh every once in a while. Today I’m going to share my little online shopping spree with you. I […]
I posted several months ago how much I loved the new shutters in our bathroom and transom windows in our bedroom. Then. I decided I needed to replace the woven woods with plantation shutters too. Our room is pretty dark and I felt like they would brighten up the space. Gulp. Expensive. We ordered Graber […]
While on a recent business trip, I spent an evening perusing the aisles of the local T J Maxx, taking my time and restocking some necessities (read:Â underwear) that have gotten a bit worn over the quarantine. I wasn’t really shopping for cosmetics. But then. I ran into Catherine. Sales associate par excellence. She made […]

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 […]
I am sharing a few new things I got over the past week or two and what I think of them so far. I’m not an affiliate of anyone so I’m 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 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 […]
Grocery shopping is not high on my favorite-things list.  But!  Trader Joe’s is one of my happy places. Too bad the closest one is a 35-minute drive. Which means I don’t go every single week, but I get a lot of my staples there – especially freezer staples. The people who work at TJs are […]
