This is a tricky post to write. Very touchy in my house. This is Produce Row in St. Louis, MO. It’s something of an oxymoron – an unknown landmark in St. Louis. Around for over 56 years, but very few know about or, if they do, they think it’s a regular farmer’s market. It’s not. […]

It’s Valentine’s Day and I have to say, I scored a big win in the “Valentine” department almost 25 years ago. The Hubs is the best. He just is. All these years later, I still know exactly how lucky I am…and I never take it for granted. There is no one else I would ever […]
A little over a month ago, we had our first snow. (Fortunately, it was nothing like the 10”-12” we got last year, because I’m just not ready for that.) The Hubs was taking a nap before dinner, so I asked the Girl Child if she wanted to tag along while I went out to play […]
I feel that niggling sentimentality sniffing at my edges again. It comes whenever there’s a true Turning of the Page, and a new year is certainly that. It’s possibly mental… Today is just a Wednesday, tomorrow just a Thursday, etc, and any day is a good day for change. It doesn’t have to be a […]
This is going to be a long post, but it’s important. Why? Because bullying is big news right now, both in my community and in the world today. Don’t believe me? A local school district is dealing with a bullying incident involving a reference to the Newtown shooter and Instagram. A school shooting in California […]
(Howdya like that aliteration, huh? LOL Just ignore me. I’m in a silly mood as I write this.) Well, if you remember my POST yesterday, you saw the coffee table I picked up at Goodwill to replace the Ikea table that the was broken during my son’s Star Wars marathon. Anyway, after we unloaded the […]
Hi, my darlings! I know, I know. It’s Monday. There’s not much help for it. LOL So, grab a cup of coffee or tea, pull up a chair, and I’ll show you what I did this weekend! I guess I should be excited that I found a solid, well-built coffee table, but the fact that […]
Hi, my darlings!! This is the last day (hopefully), I’m going to be flat-out behind on my posts. LOL I’m slowly but surely getting caught up after being out-of-commission for two weeks, but with the start of the new year, I’m also just slammed with all kinds of real life stuff clamoring for my attention. […]
Hey, gang! I’m so behind today and I’m not likely to catch up. I’m still finishing up making the bedroom livable again and I last night, I decided to hit my trash pile (yes, my trash pile) and rescue an old deck board to make a little sumthin-sumthin that I’ll be posting later this week! […]
I caught this article, entitled “Costume Ideas for Parents Who Hate Their Kids”, on Cracked.com (which almost always lives up to it’s name for me) and, even though I’m a DIY-gal, I had to laugh, because I know how right they are. My kids would have rebelled at all of these and I would have […]
