Yes, that Jell-O Jingle was a long time ago and yet Jell-O is still out there making fruit salads and funny wiggly cut-outs for the kids and providing hospital food for diets requiring “soft” foods. I have always liked jell-O. My Mom used to make a lime green jell-O filled with spiced grapes for…
Hey….it is all about healthy eating these days isn’t it? I am on board for healthy, but that doesn’t mean I won’t step off the train and grab something that is considered NOT healthy. I mean, come on…life is too short to not enjoy a treat or two once in a while. Moderation is the…
My dear readers….yesterday, I posted about a few farmhouse style elements that I like to incorporate into my mostly traditional home. However, today I want to re-iterate that it is easy to follow a trend and then have it backfire and go completely out of style as quickly as it came onto the decorating…
My dear readers….yesterday I posted the pictures of my almost finished Hall/Guest Powder Room that-happens-to-have-a tub and apparently many of you liked it and commented to me along with a few questions! The questions I will talk about at another time because I want to focus on decorating, …my way. My beautiful grand…
My dear readers…I promised you pictures of the bathroom reveal and I know I have been a little slow in getting the pictures posted. I am so pleased with the way the bathroom turned out…it definitely makes a statement compared to the rather mundane bathroom it used to be. I may be a bit goofy…but…
The Party is over…..it is time to call it a day….ok, for those of you who follow me, you know I am talking about two things here. First, on Saturday…the Kansas Jayhawks ended their run for the final four dance. They made it past the first and second rounds on to the sweet 16 and…
Good morning my dear readers…today is Good Friday and it is a beautiful day here in my part of the country. I was in the Supermarket yesterday and there were beautiful white tulips in bloom! Be still my heart….you see, that is the only way we are able to have fresh tulips …they have to…
My dear readers….IT IS SPRING!!!!!!! I love Spring! I love flowers…real and faux…AND I love making cookies shaped like flowers and these little tartlets are the best! Not only are they pretty and make you think of Spring….they taste delicious AND they are so easy to make.
My dear readers, I would like to share with you a sweet bread recipe (or you could use your own recipe) that has Easter eggs baked right in the bread. I love to dye Easter eggs and I love to bake them in a bread braid. I get many compliments from my guests as it…
Yep! that pretty much sums up the happenin’s around this house these days. Lots of irons on the fire….or is that in the fire? Of course, March Madness has started….and the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team started off with a win on Thursday and they play again today! So excited, but also nervous for them. I…
My dear readers….I don’t know if you have the same issues I do with my bath towels, ….but I am guessing you do. After many, many washings, the towels just seem to have lost that fluffiness….and with guest season on it’s way here in Florida, I thought you might like to see a few tips…
My dear readers….A few days ago, I was searching through old cook books and my recipe file for a particular recipe. I would love to tell you that my recipe file is always organized but that would not be true. Many of my old, old recipes are stashed in an old tin file that used…
