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
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?
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…

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