Happy Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, Dia de los Muertos! The view from in here is great. I can’t wait to eat chili tonight and pass out candy to our neighbor kids. I hope you get to do your favorite Halloween activity, too!
I know this has been around for two or three years, but I think it’s a classic. I heard a Mary Poppins song during my workout this afternoon, and it reminded me of this YouTube video. It’s Julie Andrews singing Do-Re-Mi, from The Sound of Music. So here you go, the best flash mob I’ve [...]

Treat me to homecoming?
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. My daughter likes puns as much as I do.
This afternoon I get to see my niece perform in The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley. I am really excited to see this play! Here’s a little gift bag I made for her, to acknowledge her hard work. I hope you have a happy Sunday afternoon, too!
While browsing through my vintage magazines, I came across these beautiful dresses from the 1960s. I would wear any one of these! I’ll be keeping an eye out for these in my travels…
Enjoy your Saturday!
I got this recipe from a friend at work. We made the detergent a few weeks ago and have been using it ever since. It works just as well, if not better, than the detergent we had been buying, and at a fraction of the cost! Another great thing is that I have enough of [...]
