My OLDER brother has informed me that by reading my blog he has determined that I consume entirely too many ‘BAR meals”. (He has ALWAYS tried to be the BOSS of me!) so I decided to share one of our typical weekday meals. So Tommy Lee…this one’s for YOU! We really DO […]
Mother’s Day 2014…No Moms Allowed…In The Kitchen!
This was an AMAZING Mother’s Day for me. I have never before been treated to a homemade, delicious dinner with family… and been told to STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN…PERIOD! So on Sunday, after the girls swim meet, we were joined by that THIRD Grandma and Grandpa (a.k.a. Nana and Papa) and Aunt Maggie and […]

DIY Rolling Dresser
Our condo is small. (Approx. 600 square feet!) And the last thing I need to see in our bedroom is a LARGE five-drawer dresser.

Another Day…
In Paradise… You would think this is our own private beach…but it’s (unfortunately) not. It really is this empty most of the time…and it’s only a short walk from our home to enjoy this slice of Heaven.
I Would Pick More Daisies
Our church bulletin on Sunday contained a poem that really hit home for Fred and me. It’s kind of sums up the way we try to live our lives NOW…so we won’t have these regrets later. It’s amazing how a heart attack (Fred’s) opened our eyes. THE VALUE OF LITTLE THINGS I Would Pick […]
