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…
Creating a Stay-At-Home Summer Bucket List
While planning my stay-at-home summer bucket list I’ve been thinking about the summers of my childhood. My childhood summers were mostly spent playing with my brothers and cousins, hanging out at my grandparents’ house next door, running through the sprinklers, watching sitcoms like I Love Lucy and Bewitched, occasional trips to the park and long…
A Gigantic Two Week Aldi Haul
I did my Instacart shopping this past Friday and I did a gigantic two week Aldi haul again this time. I gulped when I saw the total. It wasn’t so much the groceries, although that was high enough. By the time you add sales tax, delivery fee, service fee and a 20% tip the grand…
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. I’ve got an inflatable pool in my Amazon cart and I’m going to do my best to recreate the feeling of enjoying a good book…

When You Just Need Something Sweet ~ 17 Dessert Recipes
My grandmother used to tell how my dad, as a little fellow, would often ask for ‘umpin ‘weet (something sweet). David’s family usually had dessert every night after dinner but that wasn’t the norm in my family. On the other hand, we always had “something sweet” available whenever we might be in the mood. I’ve…
The Gift of a Letter ~ Bringing Back Letter Writing
There’s something rather romantic about sitting down at a desk with a lovely sheet or two of stationary and writing to someone. For me it brings up the image of a genteel young lady of the Regency period seated at a writing desk in the corner of a parlor, pen and ink at hand. Yes,…
2 Week Aldi + Crowd Cow Grocery Haul
I had groceries from Aldi delivered to my daughter’s porch on Friday afternoon. You’ll likely notice that this is a large grocery haul. I decided to try to buy two weeks’ worth of groceries. Hopefully I planned well enough for that! I also had her order a couple of things for me from Crowd Cow,…
