School is still just 3 hours a day there so it definitely makes it challenging for working Moms and Dads. Once I returned back home, it was full steam ahead! I had just been diagnosed with pneumonia 5 days before I [Continue Reading...]Halloween Table Craft Featuring Edgar Allan Poe s Poem, The RavenOctober 16, 2020 19 CommentsSeveral years ago I shared this wonderfully creative Halloween table craft by Stephanie at the blog, Brooklyn Limestone. After seeing this idea on her blog, I really wanted to do this for a Halloween table setting.

I don't remember now how I came across Villeroy Boch's Melina pattern, but it was love at first sight. I think I came across it one day while shopping in either Macy's or Rich's.V B Melina was definitely out of my budget back [Continue Reading...]When Hope Is Not Enough My September FavoritesOctober 13, 2020 26 CommentsA few weeks back when I was visiting with family, I mentioned to my daughter-in-law that I was super annoyed that as I have gotten older, the pores on my face seem to be more visible. I had heard women complain of having big pores or visible pores all my life, but I had never really understood what that meant. As I've gotten older, I've noticed that I have pores on my face, too! lol I know that sounds crazy, but they were never really visible until the last couple [Continue Reading...]Decorate for a Spooky Halloween Dinner Party: Cobwebs, Catacombs and a Model Train VillageOctober 12, 2020 22 CommentsWelcome to the 611th Metamorphosis Monday, a blog party sharing fabulous Before and Afters!For this past week's Tablescape Thursday, Jackie welcomed us into her beautiful home.

Her guests [Continue Reading...]How An Air Fryer Has Changed My Life Some of my Favorite Air-Fried FoodsOctober 11, 2020 39 CommentsA couple of weeks ago I shared a new addition to my kitchen, my Air Fryer. Adding an air fryer to my kitchen has been one of the most transformative experiences in how I cook. The only thing I can't think of that comes close to being as life-changing would be the invention of the microwave. Seriously, if right now you said I had to give up either my microwave or my air fryer, I'd say, "Bye-bye Microwave!"I realized the other day that since I've had my air fryer, [Continue Reading...]3 Fabulous Table Settings: 2 Spooky for Halloween and 1 Elegant for AutumnOctober 8, 2020 21 CommentsWelcome to the 629th Tablescape Thursday, a blog party sharing beautiful table settings for all occasions.Earlier this past spring, I shared this beautiful table setting created by Jackie.

Not. A. Fan. However, over the years I've come to discover that winter isn't near so bad if you have the right gear, i.e., quality coats, Uggs, warm sweaters, Uggs, woolly scarves, Uggs, wool socks, Uggs--you get the idea. ;)Next to woolly Uggs, my other favorite cold-weather gear is soft, wool or cashmere scarves. I love me a soft woolly scarf to the moon and back! I have [Continue Reading...]The Best Desk Chair I ve Ever Had: An Update for My Home OfficeOctober 5, 2020 21 CommentsWelcome to the 610th Metamorphosis Monday, a blog party sharing fabulous Before and Afters!Today is going to be a busy day around here.

Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but barely.Honestly, 500, 750, and 1000 piece puzzles (my faves) were as scarce as toilet paper for months and months! I guess a lot of folks love puzzles as much as I do!
