Fun Friday Favorites: Work-out fashion, spring jackets, & frosted sugar cookies

In case you haven't noticed...I'm trying to step up my game a little.  Blogging four times in one week...whew.  AND.  I've been doing it with the biggest head cold complete with a stuffy nose, congestion and sneezing, and feeling like five hundred pounds of bricks are laying on my chest.  Yes.  I'm doing pleasantly well ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Board games, perfume, and Oreo Balls

It's been blustery cold here.  Between all of the late starts, early dismissals, and "Snow Day"/no school...it's hard for me to get back into ANY sort of routine.  I'm not complaining.  I'm just validating why I haven't been consistent on ANYTHING, except for wearing lounge wear or pajamas.  And catching up on some of my ...

New Year’s resolutions, my new Life Planner, and yummy Puppy Chow

I'm back dear friends.  I meant to write a post Sunday evening, but I was plain tuckered out from Christmasing at Grandma Helen's.  We are so happy that she is feeling better.  It was a fun day of eating great food, visiting with family, and enjoying Christmas with Grandma Helen. Now, it's back to reality and ...

It’s Christmas time…in the kitchen! And Mrs. Claus & the gift she always leaves

I guess you could say that our home is similar to Mrs. Claus' kitchen...lots of goodies are being made and I'm thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. Yesterday, I gave you my Frosted Sugar Cookie recipe, along with the Best Frosting EVER recipe. Today, I will share two more recipes with you that are easy peasy.  Monster Cookie Dough ...

Weekend Recap: Frosted Sugar Cookie Recipe and Christmas festivities have begun!

I've very aware that after last Tuesday's I love 80's Christmas music post, I fell off the face of the earth and was nowhere to be seen or heard.  Unless you were at Target, then...you saw me there.  Or Younkers.  Or Casey's.  Yes, I was running around buying more Christmas gifts, gift cards, and last minute gifts ...

Dinner Club gals and Chicken Tortellini Soup…the BEST soup EVER

Well friends, I am about to share with you some of my very favorite people and one of my very favorite soup recipes. A long time ago, I taught with some very dear friends...Adri, Rhoda, Sara, and Julie.  We had a Dinner Club.  We got together once a month at each other's houses and shared a ...

Fun Friday Favorites: My NEW go-to salad recipe, yummy bars, and of course, some fashion

I'm recovering rather nicely from the crud that hit earlier in the week.  And for those of you wondering...Maxim claims that his ribs are feeling much better, as well.  (For the record, I think we all know that I had a little one who experienced his first day of skipping school.  Don't tell the administration ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Fashion, skin care (aka…anti-aging stuff), and fall food recipes

Well, it has been a delightful birthday week. I've spent time with friends and family, enjoyed some wonderful gifts along the way from very dear friends (think...some of my favorite things...Pumpkin Pie Skinny Lattes, Coffeesmith muffins, jewelry), I was able to work on writing, and actually cooked and baked this week. And that brings us to today.  The ...
