Are you all ready for another weekly meal plan? There are a lot of great sales going on right now. It seems that several of the stores we frequent have been having a lot of $1 sales for the past several weeks and we are taking full advantage. We’ve been stocking the freezer and the […]
Well, we had a few days of warmer weather (nearly spring-like even!) and then dropped right back into the deep freeze of winter. We’ve even had 2 snow days (more like ice days) now – first time in 7 years the schools here have been closed. While it’s been lovely to have a mid-week break, […]
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 […]

Are you a Star Wars fan? We sure are in my family – well, at least most of us are. I still remember lining up to see the very first movie when it was released in theaters. And then, going back to see it again and again with all of my friends. It was showing […]
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 […]
Inspired by one of my favorite blogs Brocante Home (who was in turn inspired by a feature in Harper’s Bazaar written by Diana Vreeland), Why Don’t You is a week’s worth of ideas for adding a little something special to your life. Simple ideas for lovely days! Pick and choose what sparks your interest and fits into your schedule. […]
