As I mentioned on Friday, I’ve been really lucky to work at home for a week. Its the 2nd time that it has happened pretty much since mid-October. {Yep, I travel pretty frequently… and it gets old}. But this week, I was super lucky to spend some time walking the beach in the mornings ….…
I do not like to be cheated. I get frustrated when I feel like I’m not getting the value for my dollar. I work hard for my Washingtons, Benjamins, and the like. So, when I spend them I “savor” them … especially if I can’t expense the expense. A few weeks back I ordered a…
I’ve been working from home this week and it feels pretty great. There are obviously many perks to it {and a few downsides} but one of them is that I get to sit in the sun during lunch and go for bike rides before I start my day. Today, I woke up and it was…
Like any good chocolate chip cookie recipe, each person has their own special ingredients that help to make the cookie equation work for them. For me? I made it home three hours earlier than I expected on Thursday. What did I manage to do in those three hours you ask? I “longboard”ed in the driveway…
I don’t remember the first time I had strawberry shortcake but its one of my all-time favorite desserts. I’ve often said I’d serve it at my wedding – which by that way is lightyears away. It’s like the perfect combination of carb-y goodness, sweet fruit, and refreshing whip cream. We’ve been a “strawberry shortcake” family…
Oh Walter. When I bought my hammock at Lowe’s a few weeks ago, I honestly knew I was making a great decision but I hadn’t anticipated how relaxing it would be to just swing gently in the breeze of the front yard. Annie {the neighbor’s dog} sits as close as she possibly can by “snuggling”…
Oh hello Mr. Goat! Last weekend, I went to the Glastonbury Abbey {and the nearby Organic Farm} and roamed the property during their annual fundraising garden show. Having never been, I was really excited to see some of the gardens that I’d hear about from family and friends. I’d seen on Foursquare that there was…
I think that one of the fastest ways to make poor decisions is to go to a grocery store hungry… or stand in your pantry. I’ve been known to impulse by anything from prosciutto to Cheezits to loafs of French bread. A much safer place to go? An organic farm. After roaming the Glastonbury Abbey…
Sometimes without much planning a nice meal comes together. Normally when I invite people over for dinner, I have something in mind. But on Friday, I had nothing in mind and I invited our dinner guests over on Monday… yes, a full 5 days in advance. After a little brainstorming, I knew I wanted goat…
Source: letsbepreppy.tumblr.com via Kerrianne on Pinterest That is all. Ok, maybe just a little bit more. I’m really excited for this weekend. Tomorrow, I’m going on a garden tour to benefit the Glastonbury Abbey. I’ve heard that the Abbey itself has gorgeous grounds {rumors of stone labyrinth?} so I’m pretty excited about it. I’m really…
