Purchasing pre-shredded packages of cheese is expense, contains added chemicals and is not very tasty. But, I do it. Because itās convenient. Please. Itās not that hard to shred some cheese. And then I had the great (no pun intended) idea to get the gargantuan block of cheddar from Costco and grate up the whole […]
Iāve had my eye on a couple of things for my back patio this year. And everything āoutdoorā is so expensive! But patience has won out and here are my scores from summer-end clearance shopping. World Market One thing I love about World Market is that they either carry the same items year after year […]
Some purchasing hits and some misses ā here is my Amazon (and life) update for August. Shoe Rack Less than one year ago I was touting the great shoe rack find from Amazon that would help me keep shoes in the garage and out of the house. Well. Fast Forward just a few months and […]

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 […]
