Today my big plan for the day was grocery shopping. Okay, so I haven’t gotten to that yet, but I did straighten out some business accounting issues, so I’m calling it a win. I also got dressed in something other than yoga pants for the second day in a row! Shirt: Old NavyJeans: Diva SkinniesRead more
The most difficult thing about working for myself, in my home, at something that is generally sort of messy, is that there is little incentive and in fact a bit of a disincentive to get dressed in the morning in anything other than yoga pants, a t-shirt and my plastic baking clogs. One. Old NavyRead more

I’m not obsessed with pizza. I swear. It’s just that I always have frozen pizza dough because I make it up in batches of six balls of dough at a time from this recipe, which I love. This last time I made the recipe though, my local Wegmans was out of pizza dough flour againRead more
I have a confession to make. I’m an obsessive baker.

I suppose other people might not call these highlights, but I’m pretty much down with anything that makes me laugh. And yesterday was nothing if not funny. There was no falling down yesterday though. In fact, no one was hurt at all. So…Wednesday is thrift store day. The local Salvation Army has 25% off onRead more
Today we took a little road trip. The distillery we like has just released a new brandy, which is pretty much my favorite spirit so of course we had to try it. And, yes, it’s good. Plus we were out of Catoctin’s Roundstone Rye and I’m just not a fan of whiskey sours with JackRead more
