Today was the first full day of Autumn. I’ve been in a state of denial about the changing of the seasons and the end of my beloved summer but it seems everyone and their brother is in cahoots and determined to make me face facts. You know, it isn’t that I dislike Fall. It’s really…
French Friday…La Maison (Part Un)
I had grand plans for a lovely post all about French home life and interior design but this has been “one of those days”. Not necessarily a bad day but a rather busy one. I had a hair appointment at 10:30 this morning and a few errands to run afterwards. I then had a brief…
How to fold a fitted sheet…
My method of dealing with sheet folding is simply not to do it. I have one set of high thread count sheets. Every Monday morning I remove them, wash and dry, then at some point before we go to bed, I put them back on. With the time I save not folding sheets, I iron…
A day in my life…part two…
Well, obviously I didn’t update yesterday as I had planned. I kept track of what I was doing up until about 3:15 and then it all became a blur of household tasks, phone calls, and various interruptions. In other words, a totally normal day. Here’s what I did manage to record: 8:30 Tea With Dee…

Note to self: Avoid going out of town on Mondays. Well, in true procrastinator form, rather than actually clean something, I did a search for “cleaning a…
Let the organizing begin!
This is one of the closets in our exercise room. I store all our gift wrapping supplies, boxes and extra gifts here (the top shelf has the satellite box and some of David’s stuff that I don’t mess with). It was all neat and organized at one time but over the past year has drifted…
A Day in My Life…
I keep meaning to do this once in awhile so here goes: 5:15 — The alarm goes off way too early for my taste. David has to fly out this morning for a short business trip. He hits the snooze button and we snuggle for five more minutes.5:20 — David gets up and showers while…
“What do you do all day?”…
