Do you ever do something that just makes you feel free? You know those moments where for a mere second you don’t have a care in the world. I think as adults we tend to forget the importance of letting go. For example, I like to open my windows of my minivan and play the music loudly. I …

Mistakes Shouldn’t Make You Berry Blue
How do you handle mistakes? Do you freak out and scream? Do you roll up into a ball and hope that the day ends soon? Do you live in regret and overthink what has happened? Do you just shake it off and move on? I think I’m a mover and a shaker. I own when screw up but always …
Have a Tart
I have a confession. So far, this year has not been one of my favorites….maybe you could tell because I haven’t been writing as much. It started off on a couple of really hard notes that made the winter end with a snowstorm of emotion. The spring was consumed with dog training and my days were …
Macaron Madness
A girl’s best friend can be a lot of things. It can be someone you’ve known for years who knows who you are and where you’ve been. It can be relative who you find easy to talk to and who is willing to hold your hand through good times and bad ones. It can even be a …
Ball Lalalalalalalala
“Deck the table with balls of meat Falalalalalalala Really so good no one will leave their seat Falalalalalalala There’ll be none in your trash barrel Falalalalalalala I’d even share them with my sister Cheryl Falalalalalalala” I think one of my (and my sister’s) favorite parts of the holiday season is the excuse to make a …

Do you ever do something and you KNOW it is a mistake? It could be as simple as eating that extra cookie or slice of cake. Maybe it is when you buy a dress a size too small thinking you will lose enough weight to fit in it by next summer. How about that selfie …
January Baking Project-Sugar Cookies
There was an interesting discussion with my husband, Earl, last week concerning my New Year Resolutions. No, he didn’t want to add things like wear high heels more often or give him massages every night. (He has been asking for those things for YEARS and they haven’t happened!) It was the part about baking. He …
Bon Appétit December Cook the Cover….Resolution Kept
Do you hear what I hear? Are those trumpets tooting my horn? YEP! I am proud to say as of this weekend I “successfully” cooked EVERY cover of Bon Appétit magazine this year keeping my New Year’s Resolution! (Barb actually has kept all of her resolutions including the one to talk in the third person …
Livin’ the Dream: Bacon Rice Krispie Treats
2:34. 2:34? 2:34! Why the heck did I wake up at 2:34?! Now according to my husband, I was not fully awake. I would have to agree. I remember lifting my head, looking at the clock and plopping my head back on my pillow. I know I didn’t fully go to sleep for a few …
The Emmys
Do you watch the Emmys? I do. Of all the award shows it is probably my favorite. (Except maybe when TV Land does anything that involves shows from the 70’s.) I like to watch television (Gasp!) so I actually know some of the shows/characters that are nominated each year. I don’t know a lot of …
