It’s funny how, even though it’s been years since I was in school, summer still feels like a time to change up my usual routine. With warmer temperatures and longer days, winter routines seem out of place. I’ve been thinking about this the past week or so and am working on coming up with a…
Some things never change
I’m in the process of writing a new issue of my “Tea With Dee” newsletter. I started it back in February of 2005 but last year I pretty much let it go, thinking that surely everyone got enough of what I had to say via my blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. However, before I shut it…
1950s Housewife
Last week my daughter who blogs at Retrohousewife Goes Green shared a blog with me, Jen But Never Jenn. A couple of years ago Jen had undertaken a two-week experiment of living like a typical 1950s housewife. I spent the better part of two days reading all the entries (she ended up doing a second…
Happyland Music Fest aftermath or “How to clean a messy kitchen”
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.

Dee, the Domestic Diva

For this month…
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
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
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
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…
