Blame it on Lucy

February 15, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 8 Comments

One of my very favorite television programs as a young girl was “I Love Lucy”. It still is, actually. I have the first 5 seasons on DVD and the rest on my Amazon wishlist (David, if you’re reading this and looking for a no-occasion surprise for me one of these days, that’s a hint). For…

The Value of a Homemaker

September 17, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Hosted by Living, Learning, and Loving Life, Cabin Goddess, and Tea with Dee. For one day, we want to drown out negativity and celebrate the beauty and pride of women. These days it seems that some people want us to be ashamed of being women. They want us to believe that we’re less: less intelligent, less important, less human….

Back to Flylady?

June 12, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

It’s been a week since I mentioned my plans to implement a summer routine. I’d like to say I have it all worked out and it’s going just swimmingly. But I can’t. It seems that my days vary so much that it’s hard to come up with a consistent schedule. I think I’m just going…

A summer routine

June 5, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It’s funny how, even though it’s been years since I was in school, summer still feels like a time to change up my usual routine. With warmer temperatures and longer days, winter routines seem out of place. I’ve been thinking about this the past week or so and am working on coming up with a…

Some things never change

January 18, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m in the process of writing a new issue of my “Tea With Dee” newsletter. I started it back in February of 2005 but last year I pretty much let it go, thinking that surely everyone got enough of what I had to say via my blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. However, before I shut it…

1950s Housewife

June 7, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 15 Comments

Last week my daughter who blogs at Retrohousewife Goes Green shared a blog with me, Jen But Never Jenn. A couple of years ago Jen had undertaken a two-week experiment of living like a typical 1950s housewife. I spent the better part of two days reading all the entries (she ended up doing a second…

Happyland Music Fest aftermath or “How to clean a messy kitchen”

May 30, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

The 5th annual Happyland Music Fest was a smashing success. Somewhere around 100 people danced, frolicked, listened to music, camped and ate here over the weekend. We all had a fantastic time. And then I took a look at my kitchen. Oh, my. Pictures really don’t capture the enormity of the situation but take a…

Dee, the Domestic Diva

January 16, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

One of my New Orleans friends is fascinated and impressed by the fact that I iron my pillowcases when I wash my sheets each Monday. So much so that she sent me a link for a job: “Domestic Diva Needed for Advice Blog” It also included doing video blogs. She said I’d be perfect for…
