If I had a bit of land, I think I’d want to have an apiary. Just a small one, nothing commercial size. I’d want to surround my hypothetical property with a decent variety of flowering trees, bushes, herbs, and plants. Build a lovely little bee friendly kingdom. However, I live […]
3 years in Texas, it’s starting to feel like home.
The kiddo was at camp last week. She had such a great time. Making new friends, trying new things, cool and exciting experiences, and making memories. This week she’s at rock band camp. Hard to believe that we’ve been in Texas for 3 years now. THREE YEARS! I miss the […]
Beauty and the Me
Oh! I just love Love LOVE makeup. It’s kinda my biggest vice. Make up: from skin care products to color, there’s not enough skin to slather stuff upon, or swipe the latest palettes across. So here I am thinking about what to review this month, and I realize, it was right […]

Wake up, grab a brush and put a little makeup!

Would you go MEATLESS for Lent?
Those who know me, are aware that I like to eat. I love a good medium rare steak. Josh makes delicious marsala chicken. Oh sushi, how I’ll miss you. I can sear scallops that would make chef Gordon Ramsey a very proud man. And then there’s BACON, Oh bacon how […]
