Just a quick update, the Sherman clan are all still kicking. We’ve remained healthy and alive so far, knock wood. We’ve managed to remain home for days upon days that have melted into weeks upon weeks. It’s nearly unbelievable that it’s been over a month! Sometime in the beginning of […]
Tony’s Chocolonely Makes Delicious Fair Trade Candy
Thank you universe… I’m no longer lonely and longing for chocolate. Two mysterious boxes were delivered by our usual UPS driver today. As we were bringing them in, Josh looked at me and said, “What did you order?” I looked down at the label and looked at him and said, […]
What’s happening in April 2020
It’s 2020, and April is not what I planned it to be. It’s not what ANY of us planned for. But we’re doing fine for now. One would think it’s been a long going joke, this self mandated stay home isolation / self imposed quarantine, but it’s not… this is […]
Isolating during the Pandemic 2020
I haven’t done a “dear diary” post in quite some time. So, what’s been going on? As if you have to ask… The entire world is in the midsts of the Covid19 pandemic. That’s a word to think about. PANDEMIC, it’s almost as bad as it sounds when you actually […]
Rothy’s Ballerina Flat – My New Favorite Shoe – honest review
For the past 6 months I’ve been on a quest for a new pair of “perfect ballerina flats” Now I’m kicking myself…Why didn’t I buy these sooner? I wear a fairly common size 6.5… However not all shoe companies do half sizes, what’s up with that? My go to pair […]
REAL Reality TV – Educational Victorian Series and Edwardian Farm
Who doesn’t love watching reality TV? Seems like every single channel has some sort of “reality based” show to serve up to the masses, who religiously tune in weekly. I remember some of the first reality TV shows. I loved the first season of the Real World, there was the […]
the 80’s were AWESOME!
I grew up in the 80’s – spent my teenage years in probably one of the most creative and cool decades. Between the music and the fashion, I’m so fortunate to have experienced it firsthand. Now I also have a fondness for the 1880’s… the clothing and societal changes that […]
Holy Sunday Batman!
YEAH , YEAH, I KNOW… I’M 2 DAYS LATE! Words like this could make a wee girl’s head spin, throat in heart, and stomach drop, but no I’m not pregnant, it’s not that kind of “late” you see. I just have been kinda bad with keeping up with posting every […]
Dear Diary, it’s Saturday.
I had set my mind to putting up a blog post weekly every Friday. I never know the focus on when it comes to the concept of WHAT to actually blog/write about. My blog has become a patchwork quilt. There’s a bit of everything here that I write about. I […]
Want to eat dinner like a real millennial ?
Ok I’m a bit old school. I’m the kind of girl that usually doesn’t mind grocery shopping on a Monday morning. I tend to plan out the week’s meals and head into the store with a list. I have my “usual suspects,” armed at the ready when it comes to […]
