Headed towards back to the basics living.
This last Thursday DH and I sat down for dinner and what do you think I put on for us to watch? A romantic comedy sure to inspire love? A dark suspense thriller destined for heart pounding with DH doing his best to scare me at opportune moments? No, those seem rather predictable at the [...]
With all the recent weather here (10 inches yesterday) and the weather I have heard headed across the country I just had to share this really healthy, really delicious and easy recipe we had last night. Mmmm, it’s so good! You have to try!!!!I think it would make a really good hearty meal for the [...]
So I’m a big reader. I read everything from magazines, books, blogs, emails, billboards…well I guess we all read those. Amid all those words I came across this fabulous “Permission Slip” in the January edition of Redbook-so simple and yet when I read it I felt a certain sense of peace come over me. Someone [...]
I recently wrote about my ever diminishing supply of paper towels and my goal of not replacing them with more. That’s when I realized that if I actually plan on doing this for real I need to get more practical and figure out specific alternatives. That way, when the times comes I don’t cave and have [...]
MMMMM….Valentine’s Day is getting closer and closer everyday. Like one of Pavlov’s trained doggies my mouth is salivating already when I think of those big heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolate-y goodness. I can almost taste those soft chocolate cupcakes with the pink sugary fluff on top and those colorful festive sprinkles. But that takes some planning, [...]
“Buzzzzz!” I stopped my nightly reading to look up in wonder. Across the room Cooper perked up, his eyes in search of the source of a sound not heard in months. “Buzzz!” There it was again. A fly-yep you read right-a fly was buzzing around my room in mid-January. It’s been unseasonably warm here the [...]
So just got my first bottle of Mod Podge a couple of weeks ago. Well, let me tell you-I love it!!! Yes, it’s a little smelly but it’s also vaguely comforting in that it reminds me of using glue and scissors to cut and paste in elementary. Ah, those were the days: when your biggest [...]
I’m on my very last roll of paper towels…ever, if I get my say so in the matter. Over the last couple of years I’ve slowly been trying to make the switch in our household from paper products to reusable, sustainable ones. First came the switch from paper plates on an everyday basis to only [...]
…well, almost. It tried really, really hard. Poor little guy, he rose a little on the counter and then had some oven spring but he just couldn’t quite get over the mountain. The flavor was pretty good and thank goodness my husband’s a sucker for fresh bread-pretty or not. As you can see, this is [...]
I’ve been making a lot of soups lately-classic chicken noodle, white bean & bacon, 3 Bean & Beef Chili, beef stew-you get the idea. With there being just the two of us at home most of the recipes make up a batch of the good stuff that is just a little too much. So that [...]
