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…
For this month…
A few years ago one of my favorite bloggers embarked upon what she referred to as “a slow year”. She no longer blogs but is very active on Flickr where you can read all about what she means by “a slow year”, as well as view her gorgeous and inspiring photos. I found her story…

Washing Dishes by Hand?? Gasp! guest post by Barbara Poole Don’t get me wrong…I love my dishwasher and use it regularly, but there is just something about putting my hands into hot soapy water while looking out of my kitchen window. My view is gorgeous, especially now…rolling hills and happily decorated trees at the edge of…
My day as a 1950s housewife…
While searching for a Leave it to Beaver video clip to share this past Monday, I found myself thinking about what it was like to be a 1950s housewife. I realize that what we saw on television was an idealized view – I’m sure that most housewives didn’t always vacuum in high heels and pearls. …

A friend sent me the following, granting me permission to share it with newsletter or blog readers if I so desired. Today I’ve got a little experiment going on which I will blog about tomorrow so I thought this would be a good day to share it. Enjoy! The Fine Art of Clothesline Laundry…
