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…

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 →
Now for the firsts…
When I started this blog a few weeks ago, I was all about the lasts but now... it's all about the firsts! This was our first weekend as Empty Nesters. It was a quiet weekend recuperating from the big move of our DD, but I think we both enjoyed it. I already blogged about Saturday... Continue Reading →
