TToT – Bring on Summer!

Last week I started a second TToT and then…life happened. Always. I decided to just  grab the items I had on there and bring them along to this week’s list. So let’s just get right to business… It came to my attention last weekend that the Fab Hub did not get nearly enough of a…

Happy Birthday, Ten Things of Thankful!

The Ten Things of Thankful weekend blog hop is celebrating its first(ish) birthday! I’ve not been part of it for the whole year, but discovered it some months ago through Dyanne’s blog. How I discovered Dyanne? Can’t remember! I think through her comments on someone else’s blog. But that’s the whole cool thing about my…

TToT – How is May Not Over Yet???

Is it really still May? This has been like the never-ending month. I suppose it’s all just part of the never-ending winter followed by the never-ending second semester. Late Easter and early Memorial Day make for a long fourth quarter of the school year. And we are all so ready for school to be over.…

TToT – Still Here Living Life

I’m not sure how it happened, exactly, but it’s been two weeks since I posted anything. Intentional? Not really. I guess we’ve just been busy living life and trying to wind down this school year. This interminably long and drawn out school year, thank you very much Winter From Hell. But we’re getting there –…

TToT – Good Deals

It’s spring time. Finally. With spring comes the draw of the mountain sanctuary and thus, the need for new hiking boots. Last weekend, the Hub, Zilla, and I took a lovely Sunday drive to an outlet mall near us to check out the boot store. Not only did we enjoy a beautiful afternoon drive, but…

Soup of the Week – Matzah Ball Soup

OK, so Passover is…over. But someone asked if I would be posting the recipe for our matzah ball soup, so I wanted to toss it up here because it was, after all, last week’s featured soup here. If you ask me, matzah ball soup does not have to wait for Passover – it’s just good…

TToT – A Whole Lotta Good

The sky was a glorious blue this morning and the breeze was just enough. It was the kind of day that always reminds me of an early summer at the beach – perfect. I felt pretty light as I drove alone with the moon roof open. It’s been a very good week. For starters, Zilla…

Soup of the Week – Philly Cheesesteak Edition

Philly cheesesteaks are not soup you say? Oh, yes they are now! OK, really they aren’t. And in fact, this recipe isn’t even a soup – it’s a stew. But believe me when Philly cheesesteaks meet Soup of the Week night, it’s a terrific pairing. Enter Philly Cheesesteak Stew from The Cozy Apron. I found this…

TToT – Dreams of Spring

I had a dream the other night. It was about eggs. Yes, eggs. I dreamt that I found two eggs fallen from a tree – miraculously unbroken – and returned them gently and safely to the nest. That was pretty much the whole thing, but it was vivid. I asked the Hub what he thought…

TToT – Falling into Place

Another week has flown by…and it’s been a big one. I don’t even think I’m going to need those Guard Virgins this time around! It does not escape my notice that there seems to be sort of a theme or motif running through our lives right now. As I talked about in my last post,…
