Hello Sunshine! There’s most definitely a feeling of spring in the air, what with 50 degrees yesterday (s-weet!) and bright sunshine today. Add the blooming of my forced bulbs (smell so earthy and alive) and I have to admit – I’m in a truly good mood today. Woo hoo! I’ll take a little walk, plan…

OK, Stephanie, today you are re-tackling the downstairs. I did such a good job for awhile! Hung pictures, cleaned, moved furniture, planned. And then in typical fashion, I slowly.. lost… my…. steam. Yeah, I got sick, but before that I had to pause to wait for more picture frames (photo collage project), and to purchase…

The Baseball Moms, and my friend Karen, have mentioned interest in 1) easy, family-friendly recipes that 2) don’t waste ingredients (either don’t require you to buy some special ingredient that you’ll never use again, or a series of coordinated recipes that use up all of the special ingredient). I’m going to think about that, and…

Here’s the upside of being sick for awhile – you get mighty grateful for your health. Now that I’m feeling better, I am appreciating how good it feels to feel good. I am so very lucky, of course, to be in overall good health, it gives me pause (and because I’m from the Midwest, a…

John’s home from a ski trip and we’re so glad! We really missed him, we love having John home. I made broiled lamb loin chops smeared with mustard, tarragon, and olive oil, potatoes crushed with herbs and Hope Creamery butter (inspired by a potato recipe Marge was telling me about; recipes posted in comments below),…

Love Story, pretty much the opposite of Feminine Hijinx, is what I actually did last night. Because I was still sick yesterday, after my hopeful start in the morning. What a seriously crappy week! It was kind of therapeutic, I think, to bawl my eyes out – even though it’s a rather silly story, to…

Check out Suz, the bronze medalist (or should I say metalist?), from yet another pic that I stole off her blog. Since, as often as I write about Suz, I would have mentioned that she were an Olympic athlete, you’ve probably already guessed this isn’t her medal. It actually belongs to her friend Trish, hard-won…

I raided my cousin Kim’s photo website for pictures of my cousin Michael’s wedding this past weekend. So fun! I saw everyone on Friday, but not the day of the wedding (the day I got sick), and I’m not surprised to see that everyone looked gorgeous. I even snagged a pic of my dad dancing…
