Day 31
…of the hostage situation…..not really it just feels that way. I am exhausted and can’t sleep. Big changes are coming for myself and my family. We are under contract on a new house and the moving stress is coming. Prayers, chocolate, and red wine will follow. Have you moved to a new city? What are…

Day 30
Life is short. There is no guarantee that we will wake up tomorrow. Live now. Love now. Go on adventure today. Stop worrying. que será, será what will be, will be

Day 26
“Hold on to your slip, darling.” Life is changing at a rapid rate. One minute you’re comfy in your circle skirt and Mary Jane’s; the next minute you’re comparing mortgage rates and hiring a realtor. Seems that is how life is though. When important things happen they happen fast. A big part of adulting is…

Day 21

Fingers crossed and prayers said. Hopefully this is our year. Our requirements for a new home are: Enough square…

Day 2
Laundry and tea. Turmeric Bliss tea to be exact. Dirty laundry is a private matter altogether. No one wants to see your dirty underwear or socks. I do not understand why people take to social media to air all their dirty laundry. Not just when they have a disagreement with some other human but when…

Day 1
I don’t like cooking. Baking I find enjoyable. Today I cooked a huge meal. On the menu: Glazed ham with cherries and pineapple, turnips, mac & cheese, cornbread, potato salad and blackeyed peas. White cake with fluffy white frosting. I have always said cooking is an art and baking is a science. Baking is all…

Resolutions?
I’ve always thought resolutions at the New Year was a sure way to fail. Maybe if I call them goals or benchmarks instead? What do you think?
