This would make a fantastic, romantic Valentine's dessert for your sweetheart or family! It is actually a simple recipe. The trick is using the best quality chocolate you can find. We have used scharfenberger. I … [Read more...]

Do your kids come home from school and throw their backpacks, boots and coats everywhere? This was my problem for the past 6 years. I had hooks in my long, skinny laundry room but I was always climbing over everyone's backpacks and boots to do my laundry. I tried to have the kids leave their gear in the garage but it kept trickling into the house. I really wanted to find a way to make lockers, but … [Read more...]

For today, February 2nd, 2009 ... Outside My Window... The sun is shining, the sky is blue. The snow on the mountains looks so pretty. It is still cold out, but I don't mind when the sun is shining -- it feels warmer. I am thinking... I am thinking motherhood is so very hard. It is a joy with Ella. She loves doing anything as long as she is with me. Hannah cried all morning before school. She … [Read more...]

Last night I dragged my family to IKEA. They were hoping for some tasty swedish meatballs. (We did reward ourselves later with:) I love IKEA! My favorite part is walking through the fully equipped living spaces -- 235 feet,542 feet...It's so cool. It makes me imagine myself living in a little place in New York City or a bustling European country. Of course the reality of living in 542 feet with a … [Read more...]

About 8 years ago I discovered an unexpected decorating resource: JCPenney.com. It kind of flies under the radar. I have bought quite a few pieces of furniture through them. You DO have to put the furniture together, but it's usually pretty easy assembly. A few years ago I bought a couple of chairs to go at the head and foot of my kitchen table. I liked that they were upholstered, although I … [Read more...]

We grew up far away from any family. Once a year we would pile in the station wagon for the annual summer 20-hour trip to see our relatives. It was such an adventure and so much fun to see our cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents. We spent many summers running around in the desert heat catching grasshoppers and running through the sprinklers. Eating toasted bologna sandwiches on hot … [Read more...]

I love it when the mail comes and there is a shiny new magazine waiting for me. I've cut down on a lot of my subscriptions, even some of my old stand-bys have gone like Better Homes and Gardens. But I have a few that I really love. One of my favorite magazines has been Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion. My mom got me a subscription when it first came out and I've been taking it ever since. My … [Read more...]

We left the hotel last night and said goodbye to Paradise..... Our plane took off at 1 AM this morning and landed at 7 AM. I found out that turbulence is normal for this time of year. So I tried not to think about dying...too much. We came back to this -- 15-degrees: But it was all worthwhile, when I was greeted with this: And now on to the winner of the Island Giveaway! I took all of your … [Read more...]

For today, January 26th, 2009 Outside my window: I can hear the sounds of workers unloading some things and people laughing as they go to their cars. The sun is out, the birds are chirping. The sun is coming through the window into our hotel room and it is a beautiful day here. I am thinking: I am thinking what a wonderful trip we have had. It has been so nice to get away together and reconnect. … [Read more...]
