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.
Some time ago I posted on my Aunt’s website (ktgreendesign.com), a cookie that has all of the ingredients that help fend off cancer. It was from one of my favorite food sites, King Arthur Flour, and it was called the ‘Take-10 Super Cookie’. As of late, I’ve been only posting the most important things going […] Read more…
Over the weekend we were reading the Sunday paper and ran across this article and just couldn’t believe what we saw. John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times wrote a piece about part of a new Bill that just passed our illustrious House of Representatives, called HB 1145. This really struck a chord with my […] Read more…
I was just going to do a FaceBook post, but this is a bit easier. This is a first for us, so it’s been an adventure in volunteering! It’s also been a lot of fun – and a lot of help to the kids. The school system has cut so many budgets to the bone […] Read more…
I posted this on my Aunt’s site last month – I’ve been busy, so I’ll re-post it like I should’ve weeks ago ! This started out as a post for vanilla extract, but since it takes a while to make, that’ll be later. In the meantime, it seems I’ve used up almost all of my […] Read more…
Last evening my family went to our local high school for a ‘Food Truck Fiesta’ – a what!? Yeah, they had one last year and it was kind of lack luster, some of the trucks didn’t show and some ran out of food, so we weren’t expecting a lot. Wow, was I wrong ! […] Read more…
That’s what Grandma always said. I think she picked that up from Ben Franklin. Actually, all of my Grandparents had repeated that quote. They filled me with as much info as they could, while they could. I’m so grateful. I promise – this is NOT a sad post ! Keep reading. So, as it’s April […] Read more…
One of the down sides to living way north of The City is that there’s usually not much going on, not much traffic either, but at times, pretty quiet. Sometimes we need to bust out an enjoy ourselves though. Here’s a little something to put on your calendar and get some tickets for. Our WWHS […] Read more…
I know you haven’t heard much from me this past week or two. I’ve used my blog as a venting forum for my School Board woes and I’ll probably continue to do that. Although, earlier this past week my Mom has fallen ill. Not exactly sure what the future holds, but I know that there […] Read more…
Our local high school has fundraisers. Yes, like all of the schools, there’s never enough money. It seems, the taxes go up and the spending goes down, hmm. Our WWHSABC (Weeki Wachee High School Athletic Booster Club) has come up with another great fundraiser, laundry soap! Everybody needs that! Crazy, I know. […] Read more…
Yesterday was quite interesting. I’d stated in the previous post that I was off the the School Board Workshop and that I’d let you know how that all turned out. Wow – I’m so glad I went. Although I wish I’d brought my husband – it was quite illuminating. The Board, for their introduction, stated […] Read more…
