While we were in California our dear friend took the opportunity to find us a bit of fall. A visit to Roger’s Garden’s, in Corona Del Mar, did not disappoint. There were acres and acres of the prettiest outdoor displays I have ever encountered. Bubbling fountains… …glorious flora and fauna…. … as well as a clear blue sky left me feeling very peaceful as we strolled the pea graveled walkways. But boil, boil, toil and trouble lurked around the corner in Blackstone Theater. ... View the Post
Holiday Rooooooad!
Who loved the 1980’s classic theatrical gem National Lampoon’s “Vacation”? Sweet Boy and I recently hit the Holiday Rooooooad! We were on a quest to go to see dear friends and visit Legoland during his fall break. The boy LOVES his lego’s and was beyond excited. Remember the scene when Clark finally ends his horribly disastrous drive across the country only to discover that Wally World was closed? It’s really not so funny when it happens in real life and you have a tearful 10-year-old ... View the Post

Something Spooky Skeletons in my Closet
One of the reasons I have fallen out of love with my home is the lack of storage. This is often a downfall in open floor plan homes. The rare closet we do have must do double, sometimes even triple, duty. Such is the case with our entryway closet. Another downfall of most Arizona homes: no basement or attic.

Spice Girl
I spent Sunday afternoon cleaning and organizing my spice cabinet. It didn’t really seem like work. So this Spice Girl made a few changes. It all began when I spotted this old spice rack at a thrift store a few weeks ago. Do you see the $5.00 price tag? It made me think about what my current baking center looked like.
