Taking just a few minutes to prepare fresh veggies over purchasing a prepared tray at the grocery store is well worth the time and effort. Crudités are my favorite contribution to a get together and are guaranteed to be the healthiest thing on the buffet. Here are a few reasons why I take the time […]
We don’t have any large-scale organization projects on the list this year, but we have been taking some tiny bites out of areas that somehow got crazy messed up since our last good clean out. Office Desk I like to think of myself as a neat person. Sort of a clean person without being a […]
Valentine’s day is coming right up and it seems like a good time to think of doing a little something special for those you love. Even if the one you love is yourself. How about chocolate molten lava cake? For one? Yep, it’s a mug cake. For our Valentine’s celebration, I’m going to whip up […]
I cannot believe an entire year has passed since I had DFs Shira and Barb for a little Galentine’s luncheon. My how time flies when you’re doing almost nothing. I have no plans for entertaining this year, but I did put together a vignette for my hot beverages and was inspired to do two little […]

Winter is my least favorite season and I do not like to be cold. Hence, our move to Phoenix. But. It IS winter and I’m trying to get through it. Honestly. I have flowers blooming on the patio. I’m out walking or running every day. I even moved my office outdoors for some afternoon sun. […]
