Though the holidays are nearly in full swing, there’ll still be some of you out there who have a little bit of last-minute shopping to do. With the online world ready and waiting for us to browse and click, last-minute shopping doesn’t have to be so bad! Perhaps you’ve got a few foodie friends to […]
It’s mid-October now, so all bets are off when it comes to pumpkin. Go for it kids…Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Cake, Pumpkin Cookies, Pumpkin Lattes, you knock yourself out. Me? I’d start with these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. Once upon a time, when I was a caterer for a living, I made so many of these pumpkin […]
Are you a fan of all things Key Lime Pie Recipes? I know I am, and I know that many of my blogging friends are, too. Key Lime Pie just tastes like a vacation, a bite of the tropics. I once spent a good 4 days in the Keys experiencing EVERY available version, from those […]
No, not in the way you are thinking! At night, when I am not particularly sleepy, but need to be, I try to put myself to sleep by counting things. Sometimes I try to calculate how many dollars a day I need to make on this blog for it to be a “real” job. Real […]

That’s right, we lost over $200,000… …in debt. We are going from $284,700 and 3100 square feet to 950 square feet. It’s safe to say we are downsizing. We got great news here on the Germanic border of France. Someone has committed to purchase our mammoth of a home back in Texas. They will love […]
One of the best parts of my day is when a cabana opens up on the top pool deck. Silly, perhaps, but I love the thatched roof, the shade over my eyes, and the fact that my legs and arms can still catch the sun. Normally, the cabanas are full – people come snatch them […]

I’ve been trying for weeks to think of exactly what to say. It’s hard, you know, to put into words something that both scares you and excites you, something that you can hardly stand waiting on, but at the same time wring your hands about. Wringing my hands? Not really. When I think of someone […]
It’s Back to School you all. Back to SCHOOL. They are IN SCHOOL. The summer went by in a blink…I swear I think I was only home for maybe 2 full weeks? It was a whirlwind, probably a whirlwind for you, too. Kids underfoot, or off to camp, or off on vacation, or off to […]
I get paid to do a lot of fun things. Take for example, being hired by Jif (yep, the Peanut Butter folks!) and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network to tell you about a cool thing happening this summer. Have you heard of Jif to Go? It’s great for busy summer days, those days you […]
Who here loves crème brulee? Who here loves pumpkin pie? Who here has ever combined the two? Luckily, I am in the mood to share this creamy, full-of-great-flavor recipe with you, just in case you want to try it yourself. As you may be aware, I have been working with Libby’s Pumpkin here recently, and […]
