Happy Monday! GO CHIEFS!! I’m actually not a big football person, but it’s always exciting to have our home team head to the Super Bowl AGAIN!! It’s a new week, a clean slate, maybe even a new chapter. What do you plan on doing with it? I like the idea of a reset…... Continue Reading →
Rediscovering the Public Library
Do you have a library card? Do you use it? I’ve been in a rut of either not reading at all or only buying books - either hardcopies or on my Kindle. I love books! Even when I’m not reading them. 😂 When we were homeschooling we went in phases. Usually we used the library... Continue Reading →
Bread – the staff of life
Yesterday, I decided to get serious. See, I love baking bread but I haven’t done it in a while now. Partly because I wanted whole grain bread and DH doesn’t like it. He likes white bread… oh he likes SaraLee Honey Wheat bread and it doesn't count. But I’m really working hard on my... Continue Reading →
Christmas in July part 2
I don't know about you, but I've been needing a little escape from all the ... craziness in the world (well, mostly the United States). It's been overwhelming and exhausting. So the other DD and I took a Christmas break! Yep, we just did Christmas all day. We baked cookies, we ate cookies, we drank... Continue Reading →
Soul Searching
The last few weeks, I've been kind of soul searching. Kind of trying to find myself again spiritually. I've been feeling a bit lost... not sure who I am, where I want to be, even what exactly I believe! This soul searching has moved me away from my computer, from social media. I've been reading,...

Healthy cooking for one, please…
I've been cooking for one a lot recently and that's something I struggle with sometimes. It's funny to me how sometimes, it's so easy and then other times... not so much. Oh, I don't struggle so much with the cooking part as I do with the planning part... What do I cook? How do... Continue Reading →
Refocusing on my health
So last September, I found out that my cholesterol was high. The doctor immediately wanted to put me on medication to get it under control. I had feared this for a while. It's in my genes. No chemicals for me, please. I didn't want to take any pills. No chemicals for me, please. I had... Continue Reading →
Zucchini Bread
In my post Wednesday, I mentioned that I was going to make some zucchini bread, and I actually did AND… It was pretty good. It’s an old recipe I found 2006 from a blogger friend, Ask The Helpful Housewife, aka Leanne Roman. I don’t think she blogs much anymore but I did find the old post... Continue Reading →
A cooking post…
So, I know I don't usually post twice in one day but I have to tell you about my new discovery. Have you tried these? I did last night in some pasta and I wasn't sure how I felt about them but I put a couple of spoonfuls in my eggs this morning with a... Continue Reading →
Brrr… What I do on a cold day…
How are you fairing this cold snap that is making its way across the US? I'm staying inside, nice and warm. I've got a nice fire going in the fireplace and I've had my hot cocoa and I just may have another. I've been trying to get some things done but I'm not being very... Continue Reading →
