Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep
The Summer It Didn’t Stop Raining
Recently the summer has been wet. Really wet. I think we are all feeling a little soggy here and a tad bit pruney and/or wrinkly. And stir crazy? Yup. We’ve all got the fever…cabin fever. If you are not local, we have not seen the sun for days. At least not for more than a few minutes
Pink Panty Droppers Summer Cocktail
Looking for a new summer cocktail? These Pink Panty Droppers were a big hit at my Fifty Shades of Grey Party last summer. One of my neighborhood friends brought them with her. And lucky for us, she had them again last week at a gathering at her house. Otherwise known as…we-made-it-to-friday-and-now-we’ll-enjoy-happy-hour-til-our-husbands-get-home. The kids had a good
I’m Still Here and Independent!
So, yep. I’m still here. Over the past month I’ve had a person I’ve never met before in real life working behind the scenes on transferring everything on my old Blogger blog over to this here WordPress blog. Some might ask…huh? Why? First of all, I had no time to learn how to do it

Why We Love Blooms and Berries Farm Market
If you were around here last fall, you might have seen my previous post on Blooms and Berries about their pumpkin patch. We’ve trekked out there in the fall for a couple of years, but not for any other reason. Until a few weeks ago. I happened to see that they were hosting a Kids’ Night in
A Book Log for Summer Readers
School is almost over for Stella. It’s hard to believe she finishes Kindergarten tomorrow. We have lots of fun activities planned for the summer. One thing I know she’ll keep doing is reading. We are blessed that she loves to sit down and read to herself. I wanted to find a way to keep reading
Happy Birth-iversary!

Happy Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day has been PERFECT. Low key. No plans. (Andy came home from a week-long business trip last night.) We had donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast. I received lots of handmade cards and notes and puzzles. I adore hand print art and Henry’s potted flowers (above) melt my heart. After breakfast, Andy
