Laundry Room Remodel

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

Wednesday night we had Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas.  It requires a little bit of prep, but most of it you can do ahead of time – the night or morning before the meal.  Click HERE for the updated recipe. Speaking of eating, it’s been a bittersweet week at our house.  Little man gave up the

Eggplant Follow-Up

Earlier this month I mentioned my trip to Trader Joe’s and my discovery of their Eggplant Cutlets in THIS POST.  I am back to say that we ate some more of the box last night…and still yummy! However, last night I didn’t have time to bake it in the oven.  It was a last-minute decision

Dear Kroger

Dear Kroger

  FYI – Non-locals, Kroger is our “main stream” grocery chain…like a Publix, Piggly Wiggly, Albertson’s, or whatever is in your area, etc. Dear Kroger, Seriously?  I mean, SERIOUSLY?  I don’t know if you are trying to get back at me for shopping at two of your stores instead of being a loyal customer to

Some of you may remember back to last May when I received a pair of Yellow Box Sandals unexpectedly in the mail from my girlfriend down south.  They were pink and sparkly and I LOVED them.  She swore they were the perfect sandal and ever-so-comfortable. Well, I am back to say that she was on to

Stella was excited this morning.  Today was her “at-home” day.  Meaning, the rest of the kids went to daycare and Stella got to pal around with me all day.  I still had to go to the office for 2 hours, but she’s well behaved and entertains everyone. We also got to spend some quality alone time.  She

Pinning for a New Home Office

There is a room in our house that is completely under-utilized.  Our front formal living room.  Although it does have a couch and chair, it’s also currently a catch-all space for a bookcase, a wine cabinet,  the kids’ Strider bikes, a keyboard and at during the holidays…the Christmas tree.  And it has old, yucky carpet.
