A castle room renovation included an up-cycled door insert as a mercury glass mirror.
Don’t buy that stuff ! You can make you own at home and it’s super easy.
When your cousin marries a fabulous guy, you make her anything she needs for the Big Day! That includes 100 jars of tasty, low sugar blueberry jam with berries straight from the farm.
Get out there, it’s lovely out. (well, it was today)
Check the Local Haunts for some places to visit. Why did the chicken cross the road? Beacuse it’s a railroad CROSSING! And besides, it’s Ybor City…urban poultry.
I spend an inordinate amount of time in my favorite space, creating and changing recipes to fit a more healthy – and completely doable – lifestyle.
“to dance artlessly, without particular grace or skill but usually with enjoyment” – That pretty much sums up what goes on in my head most of the time. Here’s a collection of miscellaneous fun favorites.
Get out there! Check out my adventures near and far.
Have you ever bought something and found out that it was so good you just couldn’t wait to tell someone about it ? Well, this is one of those things. I’m a bargain shopper (no coupons, thank you … ok, maybe one or two). That said I have memberships to two warehouse clubs. Why 2? […] Read more…
It’s Memorial Day – and as the day nears it’s end, I’m feeling a bit guilty that I never did post anything special. I didn’t think I had much to contribute. Terabytes of data have already been spent on social media, tv, radio, etc, etc. on the subject. What else can I say. I can […] Read more…
It’s summer – the temp says 85 degrees…liar! It’s more like 95 degrees! Another thing that temperature gauge means is that it’s Fresh Corn Season. And not just any corn, Florida Corn. My favorite specialty veggie vendors have been closed all winter and spring getting ready for May and the annual Fraizer Corn Opening Day. […] Read more…
For years I’ve been buying canned chiles because I use them in nearly everything TexMex that I cook. Having a spouse from AZ means I use a ton of them. Those tiny cans aren’t cheap. I mean, they’ve doubled in price over the years and the stores now don’t blink at $1.69 for one. Yes, […] Read more…
Last week I put up a post about my Oakleaf Hydrangea that I’d bought the previous year at my favorite local nursery. After reading the post, my Aunt Kathy responded with a note that they’d been closed down. ‘GASP’ Noooo – I had to check this out. Besides, it was Mothers Day weekend and I […] Read more…
Memorial Day is on it’s way! It’s going to be a long, hot summer. In fact, already, yesterday it was HOT! (but not today) A while back I posted this recipe on my Aunt’s Blog ‘A Slice of Life in Perfect‘, after Labor Day, since we’ve got another picnic holiday coming up it came to mind. […] Read more…
Out on a road trip – I couldn’t resist. You’ll smile when you get it. (Hint: it’s one of my all-time favorite movies!!) Happy Hump Day !! Read more…
OK, welcome back – now we’re on to the last piece to this puzzle…the mirror. The ‘ugliest bathroom’ must have the ugliest mirror, right. Well, maybe not that bad, but it certainly needed some major attention. I case you forgot, this is what we’re working with… yes, my eyes were bleeding too! The mirror is […] Read more…
I’m sure there’s an ‘Ugliest Bathroom’ competition coming up and boy have I got an entry! Problem is,…I couldn’t wait…so I started to give it a facelift. Mind you I have NO budget for this project. (hmmm, that’s a reoccurring theme here) Seeing as the next stop for everything in this bathroom is the dumpster, […] Read more…
I love Bermuda and I don’t mean the island…. It was Earth Day last month and I hadn’t come up with anything interesting to post. Turns out, I do have something to help Mother Earth…low maintenance grass. You see, I live in one of those developments that started up during the 80’s and 90’s. Which […] Read more…
