Timely Tunes ~ California Dreaming

June 23, 2016 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

My son, Chris, usually does the music posts for Life With Dee and he’ll be back soon with more “Timely Tunes”. In the meantime I thought I’d share one of my playlists. A couple of weeks ago I started putting together a playlist of songs about California. Not only was I born and raised there,…

June 21, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I’ve been interested in home design ever since I was a tiny little girl “playing house” with my dolls. In junior high I sent away for information about becoming an interior decorator. So it should come as no surprise that some of my favorite blogs focus on design. My Favorite Home Design Blogs Here are…

Why I’m a Fitbit Customer For Life

June 16, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I wasn’t going to do a blog post today but I just had to share this story about my Fitbit activity tracker and its little adventure in the washing machine. It’s all too easy to complain about poor customer service but when a company exceeds my expectations, I think that deserves a shout-out. Disclosure: This…

Creamy Iced Coffee Cocktail

June 15, 2016 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Is it too hot for coffee but you still want that caffeine boost? Iced coffee to the rescue! Mix up a big batch of cold brewed coffee and store it in the refrigerator where it will keep for 2 to 4 weeks (although it’s doubtful it will last that long!). And if you want to…

Summer Television

June 14, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I virtually never watch daytime TV except on some rare occasions in hotel rooms. Each time I am reminded of why I don’t bother at home – there is nothing worth watching. In a way I find that rather sad as I have fond childhood memories of watching morning television during the summer when school…

Grandma’s Tea

June 10, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

If you know me at all you no doubt realize that I’m crazy about tea. My grandmother is responsible for this. She gave me my first sips of sweet tea in my bottle at about six months of age thereby curing me of an intestinal illness that had my mother frantic with worry.   Obviously…

June 9, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Yesterday morning I needed to be in town to pick up my co-op order. Afterwards I went by the farmers market. The last time I went there wasn’t much available yet but yesterday I scored: new potatoes green beans zucchini yellow squash tomatoes and even a few small peaches I love buying our produce from…
