“Life is a blank canvas, you are the paintbrush, paint a masterpiece!” I coined this phrase several years ago never knowing this would come full circle. You may also remember reading this quote on my website. After attending chapel at The Dorcas House several weeks ago, Dorcas and Michelle, the wonderful directors at The Dorcas Read More

Big Cedar Lodge: Part 2
I promised I would be sharing more pictures from Big Cedar Lodge! Have you booked your getaway yet? If not, you just may… Both mornings, Handyman Husband brought me the perfect cup of coffee!

October Culinary Club
This past Sunday Allison hosted Culinary Club at her home. The menu was fantastic! And we spent the entire evening dining on her deck! I am thrilled to be a part of this fine group. You may read about the history of CC here. We always start off with the appetizer and cocktail… Beth Read More
“Cars” Birthday
Over the weekend, we celebrated Daniel’s 3rd birthday (his actual big day is this coming weekend)! We plan months in advance when it comes to birthday parties around here. Daniel decided on a “Cars” theme awhile back. Of course on Saturday he boasts, “I want a monster truck party!” This was his first “friend” party. Read More
Big Cedar Lodge
So did you guess where we went for our getaway? A couple of months ago, I received an email that was titled “Chew On This.” I read it. Reread it. And probably reread it about 10 more times. It was from my dear friend, Beth, (from Culinary Club and Supper Club) asking if Handyman Husband Read More

My Latest Find
Handyman Husband and I just got back from a little getaway. As we journeyed to our destination, of course, we antiqued along the way. And Handyman Husband admitted that he enjoyed antiquing! I only bought one item, but it was a pure “score” in my book! You’ll never guess what I found… A turtle shell!!! Read More
Supper Club
We love our supper club! It’s a rather large group, and all are Catholic except for us, who are Greek Orthodox. We were asked to join several years ago and have loved every minute. Supper club is enjoyable because the group is super laid back, fun, and we laugh a lot. Since it is a Read More
Garden Club
I belong to two garden clubs. One is associated with my church, and the other is within our neighborhood. I’ve been exposed to garden clubs and gardening since I was in elementary school. My mother joined her first garden club in her early 30’s (and was invited by her very first client!) I remember (not Read More
The Fall Mantel
I only decorate the mantel for fall and Christmas. Our home is very layered, so adding another layer sometimes can be suffocating. I know I could remove things during this time, so I could add more; however, I enjoy the simplicity of holiday decor. (Of course, depending on the year, I may decide to decorate Read More
