This year I had grand plans for making home baked goodies for people. They’d be presented with a large basket full of goodness made with love. So much for that. In reality I barely had time to make anything, but the three I did make turned out pretty good! Definite keepers are Maple Walnut Spice…
If you celebrate it, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was fantastic. I’ve been told that eating black-eye peas on the first day of the new year will bring you luck for said year. This was going to be a Mystery Dish for one of our holiday dinners, but I had to share with…
My friend and realtor Carrie held a Customer Appreciation Breakfast this past weekend, complete with a visit from Santa! I invited Mir & Oseia as my guests, and my friends Amber and Tricia were there with their kids, too! I haven’t seen them for awhile, and it was a great visit. None of the kids liked Santa.…
I know I’m going a bit crazy with all the posts, but I had to share this – it’s Munchkin’s first Christmas tree! Man, this kids growing up thing is hard, but it’s fun, too.
I feel that I should do more to give back to the community, so this week I’ve decided to do a Public Service Announcement for all of you floundering gift-givers who are lacking ideas for stocking stuffers. I recently read an article online somewhere about how to pick out the perfect gift for your S.O.…
Sorry for neglecting you, dear readers! The recent appearance of SUN has got my head in the clouds and not in my computer. I do want to tell you about my Independence Day morning, though. I scored some 50% off tickets to the Vintage Car Races (thanks again, Groupon!). I didn’t even have to do any…

Mind you, I’ve never gotten the story of our Irish ancestors, but I’m sure there’s some validity to the claim. It’s the same on my…
If all of your friends jumped of a cliff, would you? Apparently I would. My friends are doing it, Ellen is doing it, the lady at Starbucks is doing it, so I’m doing it – the No Sugar Challenge. I don’t usually give up anything for Lent, instead I give of my time. This year,…
I thought I’d share a photo of my New Year’s Eve dates with you all. How funny is that? Each year I get older, NYE gets a bit more mellow. With new babies in the double digits in 2009, the Lodatos stepped up to get some of the football crew together for a baby/kid friendly…
Happy Almost New Year! January 1st is a great day, not only because of all of the football games, but because it’s the first day of a fresh, new year. There are a few things I do to start my year off right – set my goals, resolutions and slogan for the year, and clean…
