Brrrrrr! It's very cold in Kansas City this morning! We have such odd weather here in the midwest. Yesterday morning when I left the house it was in the 60s. So I only wore a light jacket to work. Then the temperature dropped all day and by the time I left work it was about… Continue reading Uncommon Gift Ideas
Seed Storage
I haven't written about gardening in quite awhile, since my garden this past summer was not very successful. It started off great and then quickly went downhill. Part was my fault due to neglect and lack of time to properly take care of it and part of it was due to weather and other things out… Continue reading Seed Storage
A Bargain Leads to Comfort Food
Last week Benzo and I stopped into our favorite used book store while we were out and about. We like to stop by about once a week or so to see if there's anything new. Used book stores are great because the stock turns over quickly so there are always new books on the shelves. … Continue reading A Bargain Leads to Comfort Food
Fall Food
I was catching up on some blog reading in my Google Reader today when I came across the post for Mandarin & Maple Spiced Quinoa with Cranberries, Apricots and Almonds on Oh She Glows. The recipe really caught my eye because of the wonderful fall flavors and because it seemed really simple. I was so… Continue reading Fall Food
Will Travel With Food
So I mentioned in my last post that Benzo and I went away to a cabin last weekend. It was kind of a secluded cabin close to a lake that had a full kitchen. Which meant that we would be making all of our food since there were no restaurants nearby. Not that we wanted… Continue reading Will Travel With Food

I’m Knitting Again

It was kind of a thing at the time and I thought it would be cool I suppose. I taught… Continue reading I’m Knitting Again
Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Have I got a gem for you today. Several weeks ago I whipped up a homemade toilet bowl cleaner when I was cleaning my bathrooms one weekend. I wanted to share it, but I didn't write anything down of course and couldn't remember what all I used. So the next time I cleaned my bathroom… Continue reading Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Running Firsts
Hi there! Long time no blog, eh? I think it's been about 2 weeks now? I have had a crazy two weeks being really busy at work with tons of personal stuff going on as well. It was the kind of time when the laundry piles up, the dust piles up and the clutter piles… Continue reading Running Firsts
My 33 For Project 333
Well that weekend went by fast. I meant to post my 33 sometime on Saturday or Sunday, but then...I didn't. Saturday we did errands, grocery shopping and cleaning before heading out to our last Royals game of the season. Then Sunday was church, family time, and an afternoon wedding. All good times though. Sometimes I don't… Continue reading My 33 For Project 333
