Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
I LOVE Christmas movies. I mean, all of the classics like The Grinch, The Santa Clause, and White Christmas but even those sappy Hallmark ones too – I just binge watch them all through the holiday season. Most of my family feels pretty much the same way. There is definitely a group of us who […]
Did you save your pumpkin seeds when you carved your Jack O’Lantern? I sure hope so! They are SO delicious. Here are 3 great ideas for roasted pumpkin seeds.

True confession time: I am not much of a soup fan. Oh, a scrumptious French onion soup, all cheesy and gooey, is a nice starter course now and then. If we’re having grilled cheese, I love to have a small bowl of cream of tomato soup with it. It’s simply ideal for dunking! But, I […]

Wooohoooo! The polar vortex seems to have come to an end and temperatures are rising. Okay, so it’s just barely over zero but considering it was nearly -40 at one point in the past week, I’ll take it! In other news, my little Moonpie seems to have decided that he’s going to make some big […]
