I’ve already admitted to you in this post about 15 Minute Interval Cleaning that I’m not a good housekeeper. I also told you that I really don’t like a messy house. I have this recurring day dream of waking up early on Saturday morning and sitting on the couch under a cozy throw blanket, drinking a …
I have a confession. I’m a terrible housekeeper. Really bad. I hate cleaning. If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is hire someone to clean my house. Actually, once, when I was in the process of selling our 2nd house, I did hire a cleaning person and it was the greatest …
Last year I finally had to give up my super warm winter coat that had gotten me through many cold Northeast winters. I wore that coat every day of the winter and you could tell. It was so warm and cozy, though, that it got me to not really hate winter that much. Now that …
I feel like from Thanksgiving to New Year’s it’s basically a free for all when it comes to eating. I scrap all the restrictions and the diet ideas and just go for broke. My biggest weakness when it comes to food is cookies. I’ll take a cookie over a cake or a candy bar or …

Does anyone else get into a state of paralysis when they get overwhelmed? When a project seems to big, my first reaction is to go into turtle mode and hide inside my shell where I can pretend it doesn’t exist. I find the best way to combat turtle mode is to get a plan together. …
What can you make for less than $10, a coupon and an old shirt? You can make a lot of things, conceivably, however, I took my $10, coupon and old shirt and made a lovely Fall Wreath! In the end, the finished wreath that I have hanging on my door today took less than an …
If you read this post, then you already know that I have been hankering for some soup now that there is a fall chill in the air. It might be 75 degrees right now, but the nights are chilly! And I love that. To keep me toasty warm all week, I made a Roasted Butternut …
