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
Disney Cruise Attire – What We Wore
One of the hardest things to decide about a Disney Cruise is what to pack to wear to dinner! Daytime is simple – swim suits and cover-ups and comfy summer active wear. But when it’s time to come out of the sun and get cleaned up for dinner, that’s when packing can become tricky. Packing for
I Love to Eat – More Favorite Food Finds

Well, since I’m always up for trying something new…here are a few more local places that are going to be added to our normal restaurant rotation. And just like last time, this is a quick overview.

Snowman Snowball Shooter Craft
The Snowman Snowball Shooter is always a popular item at the school holiday parties. I made them a few years ago with Stella’s class and I’m going to make them again this week with Charlotte’s. The supplies are easy to find, the prep work is not too bad, and the kids love every minute of

Marshmallow Salad
For most people, Thanksgiving is about the turkey, the dressing, the cranberry sauce, etc. For me? Marshmallow Salad.

The annual Olde West Chester Christmas Walk is always the second Saturday in November. Yes, it is early in the holiday season (always before Thanksgiving), but it is mainly outdoors and the weather is usually perfect for strolling up and down the street while getting into the holiday spirit.

Traveling with Tricia – I Don’t Pack Light…
Most of you realize by now that we went on a 7-night Disney Cruise through the Caribbean last week. I will not lie…it was 90% fan-freaking-tastic and 10% awful – a mixture of good and bad because you are spending 24/7 with your spouse/parents/children. And I’m speaking for them as well. HA! I am a last-minute
