Grocery Shopping! (aka Kro-gettin’)

I love grocery shopping, always have! It’s kind of like an escape to me so I tend to dilly-dally, take my time and look at anything and everything. My most recent trip was to Kroger. I went Kro-gettin’.

TWISTER Rave Skip-It and Ringz + Giveaway

Twister Rave Skip It

TWISTER Rave Skip-It Some of my favorite childhood toys were the ones my parents never bought for me, like Skip-It. I only got to play with it once a year when we visited family friends in Ohio. They had two of them, so I could play as long as I wanted… once a year. Needless to [...]

La Petite Fille en France….She Knew Not What She Knew Not

Eiffel Tower

I loved the French language so much in high school that I had every intention of making it a permanent part of my life and my career. Obviously, it worked out, cuz … I blog so French-ish-ly. Anyhow, when I was schoolin’ myself with all the oui’s and non’s, I took a little trip over to [...]

Cover to Cover!

reading People magazine- car

I got it! I got it! I snagged my copy of the PEOPLE Magazine 2013 Oscars Double Issue at Target! I read it at dinner. I read it in the car. I read it with a snack. I read it by the fire. (with shock) Sometimes I wonder if the reason I love to read about [...]

Hopping Down the Bunny Trail

dying Easter eggs with food coloring

A color tablet, a little vinegar and some fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. I think that will always be my favorite way to decorate Easter eggs. It’s simple, it’s not all that messy, and it’s tried and true. It’s the way the kids and I have done it year after year after year. Traditions. They loved to spoon the [...]
