Yesterday I received an email reminding me that the 10th annual Earth Hour event is coming up. For one hour, millions around the world turn off their lights as a symbol of commitment to the planet. I first heard about Earth Hour and observed it in 2008 which was the event’s second year. We’ve been…
Timely Tunes ~ February 16, 2017
This week we have everything from gorgeous country ballads to apocalyptic thrash metal, because the world is full of contradictions. “Women of the world, take over. Because if you don’t, the world will come to an end, and we haven’t got long.” Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting Life With Dee!…
Easy Cheesy Black Bean Enchiladas
We all need a repertoire of easy weeknight meals. And since many of us are trying to eat less meat, if some of those meals are vegetarian, even better. My Easy Cheesy Black Bean Enchiladas are both easy and meatless. Using canned beans and a jar of enchilada sauce means preparation time is greatly reduced….
Eco-Friendly Laundry
Laundry is one of those household tasks that not only takes a lot of a homemaker’s time but can also have a big impact on the environment. Detergents, bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets all have potential issues. Not to mention water usage and energy consumption considerations. But we can take steps to lessen the…
Menu Monday ~ February 13, 2017
Valentine’s Day is Tuesday. Do you have special plans? In recent years we have generally opted to eat at home, saving a nice dinner out for a less busy night. Oftentimes I’ll cook filets but I found some adorable heart-shaped cheese ravioli so we’ll have that for our Valentine’s Day dinner. What about you? I’d…
The Wisdom of Grandma
If we are fortunate there will be someone in our life who provides an example of a life well-lived. For me, that person was Grandma. I grew up next door to my grandparents and spent much of my childhood in their home. I continued to spend a lot of time with Grandma until she died…
Timely Tunes ~ February 9, 2017
Another week into an increasingly dystopian world, but at least we have new music from Mac Demarco, Future Islands, and others to temporarily distract us from alternative facts and gum-swallowing hellbots. The final track on this playlist is by David Axelrod, the influential composer and producer whose grand instrumentals have been sampled extensively by DJs…
My February Grocery Haul
Yesterday was “Grocery Haul Day”. My daughter and I have been doing monthly grocery shopping trips together for a few years now. We both try to eat a mostly organic diet and our small town doesn’t have a great selection. That’s why we spend a day a month (usually) stocking up in the city. It might…
Happy Birthday Laura Ingalls Wilder
Happy birthday, Laura Ingalls Wilder! Did you know that today is the 150th anniversary of her birth? I am a big fan of her books and the television show they inspired. For much of my life the stories of the Ingalls family have inspired me. Their courage, hard work and faith in spite of often…
