I'm sorry to report that my hall decking isn't the best this year. I'm continuously surprised how much larger this house is than our townhome, and that's never been more apparent than the weekend after Thanksgiving when I pulled out all of our holiday decor and didn't have nearly as much as I ...
Steam Heat
I. Hate. Ironing.
I don't know why. I have fond smells of standing in the basement laundry room at my grandparents' house, chatting with my grandma as she went through all the laundry for the week. My grandpa was one of those older gentlemen that wore a collared shirt every single day. No ...
On the Shelf: Skincare
I passed 38 a couple of months ago, and I always assumed that as I started creeping towards 40 that I'd start to see rough changes in my skin. Wrinkles, crows feet, discoloration. A few years ago, I posted on what I'd been doing for face and body care , but lately, things took a drastic shift when ...
The Leftovers… Turkey Noodle Casserole
My grandma was the queen of a tuna noodle casserole. I know that at one point, Hamburger Helper had a distant cousin called Tuna Helper, and for a while in the 80's, for the dollar or so a box of the meal helper cost you, you could make yourself a cheesy, egg noodle soup thing with a can of tuna in ...
Black Friday
I'm beat. I'm full of turkey, slightly Bourbon hungover, and have a pan of cinnamon rolls in the oven making the house smell just freaking perfect. The trees are about to go up, and I can feel that super warm happiness that I always feel around Thanksgiving, meaning that the holidays are ...
The Thanksgiving Table
Oh, buddy.
This year we pulled out all the stops.
I'm so stinking grateful that we are where we are. Last November, we were armpit-deep into Covid as a globe, and, as a family, Bryan and I were armpit-deep into a renovation that nearly killed me. I still have nightmares of being ...
Tried and True: Butternut Squash Pie
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this recipe so many years ago, but I know that every year, for some reason or another, it makes an appearance. It's what I gift to neighbors around Thanksgiving, usually what the hubs requests for his birthday in addition to a plain, white cake, and what I often ...
Back to Basics
I tend to be on the organized end of things in life. I'm poked fun at at work often for my binder (that completely encompasses a year's worth of business at a time). I schedule, plan, and budget for our vacations (down to where we're eating on what night and what I need to pack) on a spreadsheet, ...
A Quick Weekend in New Orleans
The last time I was in New Orleans was in 1996, I believe. This was before Katrina rocked the city. Before I was old enough to partake in a good time on Bourbon Street. It's where I ate my first crawfish, first fell in love with architecture, and first saw folks who let their freak flags fly. I ...
