What Does Getting Old Feel Like? Photo by Rod Long on Unsplash We are all getting older. Every day. I am getting old. As I type this, I feel old today. I don’t feel like I have a lot of spring in my step this afternoon. My mind and body are both very tired. Not …
What does pet peeve mean? Per Merriam-Webster, it means “a frequent subject of complaint.” My favorite saying that goes along with it is, “You know what really grinds my gears?!” No matter how you slice it, everyone has a pet peeve. On Friday, I asked you all if you had anything you needed to vent …
I have to VENT!!! I wrote a post about spring soup recipes recently and in it, I commented on one of my pet peeves. LISTEN/SUPPORT: It drives me crazy when I read a bad review after the reviewer changed almost EVERYTHING about the recipe they were reviewing! Do not leave a review. It’s as simple …

I don’t know about you all, but we are ON SPRING BREAK!!!! By we, I mean my oldest. The two younger siblings and I are on a normal week. Except BIG BROTHER IS HOME NOW! WOO HOO! I love when he is home with us. The house feels a little less lively when he’s at …
I’ve been cooking for a couple of decades now. I am no where near the level of The Pioneer Woman or Julia Child. I mean, I can definitely take a few swigs of alcohol while cooking like Ms. Child. In general, though, I’m an average (below average if you ask my kids) cook. Please, with …
Have you ever trusted Netflix to pick your show for you? I tried it twice. The first time it was WAY off on what I would like to watch. To give Netflix the benefit of the doubt, though, other people use my account, and we prefer wildly different genres. The second time I wasn’t actually …
Covid has dampened my weekends quite a bit. I used to take time to look up what was going on in my area and find an activity or two to attend. When covid first hit, we would at least go outside for walks and hikes. Now it’s cold, so we spend most weekends in the …
