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…

For this month…

January 4, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

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…

Labor saving devices

November 22, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Lisa and I went to Norman today to pick up the organic turkey breasts we had pre-ordered. We had a few other things we needed or wanted so we ended up going to five or six shops. Both of us have a lot to do this week so we managed to sandwich in this trip…

Homemaking is back in style

November 2, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

The other day I read this post by Jamie Lee Curtis in which she muses about how she became a woman who is “obsessed with making gourmet food, organically grown, artisanally produced as (she) plays Words With Friends…this generation’s Coffee Klatch…”. She’s certainly not the first to make the observation that there seems to be…

An Ordinary Life

March 8, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Maybe it’s just me – I readily admit that I’m nosy – but I find it interesting to hear how other people spend their days, particularly women at home.  People often ask what I *do* and my best answer is that I’m not sure but it takes all day.  I decided to think back on…

Guest Post – Washing Dishes by Hand

Washing Dishes By Hand

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…

October 20, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

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. …

Guest Post – The Fine Art of Clothesline Laundry

October 19, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

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…
