Hello and Happy Friday! Are you ready to ramble? Last weekend was fun, wasn’t it? Even if you didn’t have a big celebration with loads of people, I hope you had some good cheap eats! We sure did. The boys went to a party on Saturday, so ours was a decidedly small group at home….
At 54, my life is more than half over, yet I feel like I’m finally getting in my groove! Here are the things that I’m doing to age gracefully. You’ve seen the comparisons of the cast of the Golden Girls versus the ladies from Sex in the City, right? I don’t know much about the…

Hello and Happy Friday! Are you ready to ramble? Are y’all ready for summer? Have you loaded the kitchen with cool drinks fixings? Twinings sent me some of their new Refreshers to try.

Hello and Happy Friday! Are you ready to ramble? This last week has just flown by! I’m not sure how or why, but here we are at Friday again. Okay, maybe I know why: the week was really, really full! Lots of stressful things and lots of celebrations all wrapped up in one. And we’re…
Road trips are all about adventure and togetherness and saving money. So what do you do about road trip food? How do you save while still making it easy to feed your family? We got you. $14.99 for a box of graham crackers?! Is that just high inflation? Nope. That was Mammoth Lakes, 2010, back…
Hello and Happy Friday! Are you ready to ramble? Whew! The Trifecta is off to a great start – and already 2/3 over. That was fast. Mother’s Day was a lot of fun. I had been wanting an afternoon tea — without the $50/person cost, so I set about making it at home. We started…
