In keeping with last week’s post, I thought it might be fun to do some planning of our Thanksgiving Day menu. I have a couple of dishes in mind, because there are certain tastes that my family expects on Thanksgiving. However, I will do some searching for a surprise or two. It’s always fun to [...]

Do you love the holidays, or does the thought of all of the extra work cause your anxiety level to soar? Notice I didn’t say stressless, but stress less. I am realistic! I am hoping that with some planning and organization I will be able to relax and enjoy more. In order to take the stress [...]

I guess I can’t fight it, fall is on its way. I was running through HomeGoods looking for a lamp and was stopped in my tracks by the fall dishware displays. I don’t know, maybe I’m just biased, but HomeGoods has the cutest seasonal dishware ever (agree ?). It’s eye candy for the dish loving soul. I ooh’d and [...]

Ummmm, I can smell those burgers now! Fire up that grill a few more times! Nothing like casual outdoor get- togethers to summarize summer. Yes, Labor Day has a wacky way of announcing “that’s it, summer’s over!”. Well, not for this summer loving soul. I stretch it out as long as possible. Luckily warm weather will [...]
