LWD 2020 Recipes

January 4, 2021 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

image 2020 Recipe Collection

I’m sure we can all agree that 2020 was just plain weird. My sense of time was skewed and sometimes I felt like I wasn’t accomplishing anything. And that’s why I was surprised to discover that I actually managed to share 16 recipes here on the blog. I would have guessed maybe 6-8. I’ve collected…

Can we all just take a moment to give thanks that 2020 is in the rearview mirror? I’m more than ready for a fresh start and some decluttering, in both a physical and metaphorical sense. For our first LWD Book Club selection of the year, I’ve selected Joshua Becker’s book, The Minimalist Home.  This post…

My 2021 Word of the Year

December 31, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

I’ve been thinking about my “Word of the Year” for the past few weeks. I thought I had one chosen then realized I had used that word a few years ago. Not wanting to repeat it, I kept searching. I knew the right word would eventually reveal itself and it did.  This post may contain…

It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2020 and welcome a new, hopefully better, year. Normally I would be creating my list of New Year’s Resolutions. I usually try to have one or more goals or resolutions for each major area of my life (health, relationships, work, home, etc.). But this year? Nope. Let’s discuss…

As the year draws to a close I find myself looking back in an effort to determine what lessons there were to learn from such a challenging year. I know we are all eager to bid 2020 adieu but first let’s take a bit of time for reflection. One lesson I’ve learned is the importance…

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to YOU!

Merry Christmas! I hope you’ve had a lovely day. We did a Zoom call with our daughter and son-in-law this morning. It wasn’t the same as having them here but honestly, it was better than I expected. I suppose we’ve all done enough Zoom calls this year that we are getting used to it.  Here…

Happy Christmas Eve! It’s after 11 p.m. here. We delivered some gifts this afternoon, had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner (grilled hot dogs – ha!) while watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, and then watched my favorite – It’s a Wonderful Life. I just finished wrapping the last of the gifts and stuffed the stockings. I’m…

Waffle Syrup graphic

For the past 15 years, our usual Christmas morning tradition has been for Lisa and Justin to join Chris, David and me for homemade waffles and mimosas. After a tasty breakfast we open gifts. A few years ago our son-in-law, in a moment of sheer inspiration, drizzled a bit of Crown Royal Maple Whiskey over…
