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 BILâs visit next month, I dug in and did some fall deep cleaning. âTidyâ is really my middle name. I hate clutter. And the biggest problem […]
(and Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches) I know, I couldnât stand to waste that alliteration. So it stands alone. Proudly. And we get a little subtitle here. The things that amuse me. And I really am going to share the faux fall floral around the house and our latest linner (lunch/dinner) for super easy slow […]
Did you know that garden tools are meant to last a lifetime? That they are not disposable? No, neither did I! I lose them in the yard, forget about them, and then find them again after it rains. And theyâre rusty and ugly. So, ummmm, sometimes, I just buy new ones. I know. I fondly […]
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 […]

Autumn 2022 has made a big splash at Target and I thought I would share a few Target Fall Finds from my field trip this week. Wow, my last Target trip was in the Spring, so I guess we are due to see what they have on hand. I am not a Target affiliate, but […]
A recent bounty of fresh tomatoes found me channeling my mom and grandma in the kitchen cleaning, prepping and cooking fresh tomatoes and then getting ready to âput them up,â as they would have said. By which they meant canning in glass jars. Iâm more of a Ziplock freezer bag gal myself. Those jars and […]
The time came to say goodbye to our kitchen bar stools. It was another hard parting, much like the dining room we recently changed. Our old counter-height stools were the perfect height, the perfect foot rest, perfect match with the kitchen dining set. But. They were old. And apparently not made to last. The seat […]
Summer is still in full gear here, but many retail stores have leapfrogged right to Christmas. I took a look at the early fall dĂ©cor 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 […]
