So, we all survived another Valentine’s Day. What is it about this holiday that creates such high expectation and anxiety? Husbands and boyfriends are frantically scrambling around trying to find the card, the flowers, the candy, and the gift that will appease and wives and girlfriends are stewing all day working ourselves into a frenzy…

Decadent Dessert
Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether your married, single, or somewhere in between–it is the perfect day to celebrate and eat as much chocolate as your stomach can hold. I love my man, Super Rockstar, and I have learned that one of his main love languages is chocolate–especially cake. I’ve always done my same ole, same ole…
Coffee Break: Volume 2

Purging my fabric “collection”
Last week I mentioned my need to thin out a couple of “collections” I have. Long ago WAY back in 8th grade–I learned to sew. I had grown up watching my Mom sew our clothes, Barbie doll outfits, Halloween costumes–she did it all. But, when I learned to do it myself, a whole new world…

One of the biggest sources of the paperwork backup in our home is school papers the boys bring home on a weekly basis. The sheer volume can be overwhelming– there’s worksheets, graded tests, permission slips,…
Chocolate Chip Cookies that never disappoint
I live in Colorado and absolutely LOVE the beauty of our mountains and forests. I have learned to survive on much less oxygen due to our high altitude, but the same cannot be said of many of my baking creations. I learned long ago that tweaking recipes is always necessary, so when I finally perfected…
Mmmm Meatloaf!
Most of my recipes have either come from Betty Crocker or someone within my circle of family and friends. But, lately I have found myself fixated on The Pioneer Woman. I’m sure most of you have at least heard of her since she has a show on the food network and her own line of…
This mess is too noisy
(photo by Jeff Werner) I’ve been perusing social media lately and I’ve noticed that many of you are doing the whole de-cluttering your home thing right now. I just have one request–can you come do my house? I started noticing the tell-tale signs of us needing to do this a couple of weeks ago….
