This is why I whine all the time – OK, partly why
I am literally the lamest food blogger – EVER. I talk and whine about all sorts of stuff, but never really give you anything good to work with. At the very least, I ought to offer up proof that I have been actually doing some of the things I bitch about. Canning was probably the … Read more
Diet and exercise really do work!
Well, for the dog that is. You see, when my sister, Tracey, so thoughtfully offered to take all 3 of my kids for a whopping 11 days, we jumped at the chance to have some kid-free time. During this blissful period, my spouse and I thought (stupidly perhaps) that we would get back to living … Read more

MEAD: ADDING A LITTLE HISTORY TO THIS YEAR’S HOLIDAYS
I am fortunate enough to have a husband who supports my blog and all its craziness, and as a result, introduces me to people who are doing really interesting stuff.
