Peanut and I had a pretty full day of errands yesterday. When we got home, I discovered the water in our town had been shut off for maintenance. Nice of them to let us know ahead of time, right? The radio said it could be anywhere from one hour to a day. Outstanding. I made a quick trip to [...]

One thing I almost always do on Mondays is to fix up a big batch of something and portion it out as lunches for the week. I usually make something I like, but that my husband doesn’t enjoy. I don’t get bored easily with leftovers so it works out okay for me to be the only one [...]

Hellllooooo 2011!!! So what if I’m 4 days late. Normally I don’t find New Years’ to be especially exciting. Sure, there’s the bash to watch the ball drop and welcome in the new year, but to me January 1st has always been just another day. Until this year. While I don’t make New Years’ resolutions, I’m feeling [...]
Crock Pot Creation

When many people think of crock pot recipes, they think of not-so-healthy ingredients like cream of mushroom/chicken/celery soup and low-grade meat. I think that’s why the crock pot has gotten a bad rap. Well, that and the fact that the word crock pot (pronounced craaack paaat) just doesn’t sound that appetizing. Maybe that’s why we [...]

I have no idea how it got there, but I found a September 2008 issue of SELF magazine in my magazine stash before I left for my trip and took it with me to read on the plane. Yes, that says 2008. I have no idea how it got there. I haven’t subscribed to the [...]

I rarely buy anything new for myself. The biggest reason is that I’m cheap extremely frugal and don’t like to spend money. Whenever I see something I want, I can usually think of 9,000 other ways to spend the money and end up either passing over it or putting it back on the shelf. Friday [...]
Happy Campers

This weekend I did something I very rarely do. I completely unplugged. No internet. No TV. No phone. We bought a camper a few weeks ago and wanted to take it out for one test run before the end of the season. Friday morning we packed up and headed out. There’s a gorgeous campground at [...]
Happiness is…

a clean home. I do a little cleaning every day, but it was nice to spend the entire day working around the house. Call me a big weirdo, but I love to clean and organize around the house. Decluttering calms me and using elbow grease is great stress relief. At the end of the day, [...]
