Sometimes it’s a good idea to set aside preconceived notions and reconsider everything from the ground up. Whether you are relatively new to homemaking or, like me, have been keeping house for decades, I think we could all use a fresh approach now and then. That’s why I’m beginning a new series here on Life…

LWD Book Club ~ The Bluest Eye
The past several days have been fraught with emotion. As I pondered this month’s book club selection I felt the need to choose a book that at least on some level might offer some perspective. The Bluest Eye is one of those books I’ve always meant to read but somehow never did. This seems like…
Living the Good Life ~ French Style
I have no idea where my interest in France came from but I do know why I’ve maintained my passion for it. There’s just something about the French way of life which speaks to my soul. The French take the concept of living the good life and elevate it to an art form. I’ve read…

Load Up Your Kindle With Summer Reads
I have fond childhood memories of long summer afternoons spent reading. That is something I’d like to experience again this summer, especially since travel is off the agenda for awhile.

What’s For Dinner?
I’m well into the habit of taking a photo of my plate every night. What I’m not doing so well with is getting around to writing these What’s For Dinner posts on a weekly basis. And that is why there are three weeks’ worth of meals in this post. I do apologize if this takes…
