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 DĂ©cor The ceramic bunnies and platters and […]
I tried a new recipe and modified it for gluten-free (hub) and low fod-map (me). The blueberry oatmeal muffins were a nice breakfast treat. And I think they might be good with a dollop of ice cream for dessert. This recipe was easy to make and came together quickly, but it called for a lot […]
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 […]
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 […]
Two recipes today – a healthy Mexican beef & rice bowl and healthy homemade salsa to serve with it! Not to bore anyone with sad details, but I’m on a really strict diet right now trying to clean up some GI issues. I’ve mentioned before that I intermittently follow a low fodmap diet. And I’m […]

While my patio is not going to make any Pinterest awards, I think I can share a few […]
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, […]
You can classify this post as “The Art of Doing Nothing” or perhaps “Self-Care for the Soul.” But no matter what, sometimes it’s just important to recharge your batteries. How does that look to you? Do you even bother to do it or is your life an endless list of tasks? I know, mine used […]
Anyone else suffering from a bad case of spring fever? Are you dreaming of lazy afternoons on the patio soaking up gentle warmth? 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 […]
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 […]
