I channeled my inner Mediterranean this week and whipped up some fresh tzatziki to go with some yummy pita and frozen falafel I picked up on my Trader Joe’s run. DF Denisse (who really is of Greek descent and not just a poseur like I am) told me how easy it is to use up […]
It was way past time to bring our dining table and chairs into the 21st century. But when you love something, it’s hard to say goodbye. Don’t you think? So, after heart-wrenching months, the decision was made to sell the bookcase in our dining room and the table and chairs. Hub sold everything on FB […]
Now you might be thinking – is this blog running out of material? An August Costco Run post? Hmmm? No, I really do think it is interesting that small households of two or even one person can enjoy and benefit from belonging to Costco. Full disclosure – hub did the latest run. When I join […]
Shopping online can sometimes be risky, but it’s so handy, right? I know not everyone likes big companies like Amazon and Walmart, but they have become increasingly easy to use and sort of perfect for a lazy person like myself. Today I’m sharing some recent Amazon home finds for the bedroom that worked out well […]
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 […]
Enjoying the bounty of the season (meaning I had more grapes than I know what to do with), I brewed a cup o’ joe and strapped on an apron. Next I put on one of my favorite Pandora stations – French Cooking Music. And then. I made homemade grape juice. Yep, I channeled my grandma […]
Wild weather abounds in the springtime, but if you’re like me, the warmth beckons you and you cannot stay inside. Here are my four favorite outdoor activities (and one of my favorite indoor activities). Walking A good audio book (Peter Heller, The Dog Stars, currently), my favorite tennis shoes and I’m out the door heading […]
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 […]
