It is finally starting to look and feel like fall in my area. It’s still been blazing hot but the mornings have had a hint of cool in the air giving us a taste of what is to come. Over the weekend I had some time for a DIY project, my first since going back…
Over Labor Day weekend I happened upon two yard sales and found some great things! I haven’t been to many yard sales this season because we’ve spent nearly every weekend at the lake and not in town where yard sales are plentiful. Our morning lake routine includes driving to Smith Mountain Lake State Park to…

30 Minute Skillet Lasagna is a quick and easy meal that tastes delicious and can be made in one skillet. Who struggles with the age-old question, “What’s for dinner”? I know I do! After a long day of work, the last thing that I want to do is spend an hour in the kitchen preparing a…
Welcome to the Best of the Weekend party. Can I get a big woo-hoo for the upcoming three day weekend? The weather is going to be cooler around here which may be nice for a change. We are spending the weekend with family and I am so much looking forward to it! Let’s get…
Can you believe that it is September? I’ve been back at school for a few weeks and am glad to have a few new things to wear thanks to my September 2016 Stitch Fix shipment. I love getting my monthly Stitch Fix box and Fix #39 was a good one. For both this Fix and…
How many of you have a piece of leather furniture that has seen better days? That was the case for a leather chair and ottoman that we purchased nearly 20 years ago. This King Hickory set has had daily use in our family room and while still quite comfortable, it looked worn and shabby. Buying…
Welcome to the Best of the Weekend party. I hope that everyone has had a great week. I’ve been plugging away trying to get myself 100% in back to school mode. We are so glad that you are here to party with us! Amy, Ginnie, Jenna, Cindy,and I enjoy hosting the Best of the…
Today I’ve got a real treat for you, a recipe for Orzo Salad with Feta, Olives and Peppers. I first tried this recipe in 2007 and have been making it at least once per summer ever since. A recent gathering of family at the lake was my latest occasion for making this orzo salad. Not…
My September Stitch Fix box came earlier than I anticipated. After I received my Fix each month, I check out online and then send what I don’t want back to Stitch Fix. After my check out is complete, I usually change my next shipment date to the end of the next month. When I checked…
It’s the weekend and I’m more than ready for it. This was the first week back to school for my students and this teacher is tired! It was a great week for me and I hope that my sweet 6th graders feel the same way. I’m glad that you are here for our weekly Best…
If you do any crafting at all, a glue gun is most likely a tool that you own. Glue guns come with a built-in metal stand that I’ve found doesn’t work well; It’s annoying to be in the middle of a craft project using a glue gun that won’t stay upright. A few years ago…
