So I’m stuck in bed. I twisted my knee and can’t bear any weight on it. To pass time, I’m doing some reading, but I can’t convince myself to continue The Riveting Haunted House Mystery series. Instead I’m completely switching gears and reading a romance novel. Amazon Description : She can't make a baby without … Continue reading Book Review: Lady at Last by Annabelle Anders

A Final Farewell
My mother in law passed away just after midnight on Sunday morning. Her death was expected, but occurred more quickly than the doctors had predicted. She was admitted to the hospital Friday due to another UTI and severe dehydration. She was septic and her kidneys had shut down. The doctors recommended a slow rehydration process … Continue reading A Final Farewell
Book Review: The Haunting of the Brandt Manor by Mason Dean
So I had previously downloaded 10 books in the Riveting Haunted House Mystery series. My logical brain knows I can easily delete them, but my OCD brain cannot leave something unfinished. So here I am lying in bed, trying to finish the series as quickly as possible. Book 26 was The Haunting of the Brandt … Continue reading Book Review: The Haunting of the Brandt Manor by Mason Dean
Friday Find: Easy Home Wall Outlet with USB
Hello Lovelies! I hope you have all had a wonderful week. I am finally starting to feel better and work on my goals. One of those things is to get my bedroom organized. I’ve had this power strip on my side of the bed for years. It’s obnoxious. The dog trips on it and pulls … Continue reading Friday Find: Easy Home Wall Outlet with USB
Honey Cane Vinaigrette
I can almost chart and predict the days my body will hate me at this point. Day 1: wake up in pain; move slowly. Day 2: everything is swollen; can’t wear my rings; the heating pad is my best friend. Day 3: Mr Migraine joins the party. That’s where I’m at today. So today I’m … Continue reading Honey Cane Vinaigrette
Chunky Crochet Scarf
As I was adding ideas to my goal board this month, I saw that January is National Hobby Month. I have a bunch of hobbies; coloring, cooking, even writing this blog. I thought of leaping out of my comfort zone and learning to knit, but those needles are intimidating to me. Instead I brushed off … Continue reading Chunky Crochet Scarf
Book Review: The Haunting of Gabbington Mansion by Mason Dean
I’m having one of those nights where I can’t sleep. I’m lying here listening to the sounds of my daughter breathing, the dog snoring and the fan spinning. I even did some reading to try and quiet my brain, but no luck. All I succeeded in doing was finishing another book in The Riveting Haunted … Continue reading Book Review: The Haunting of Gabbington Mansion by Mason Dean
Monday Motivation: Stop Dwelling on the Past
Yesterday was the first day of 2023 that I didn’t have a blog post ready and prepared. I had an idea and a plan, but my health didn’t allow me to exercise it. Normally that would have sent me into a depressed/OCD spiral where I couldn’t write until I’d completed that idea, but not this … Continue reading Monday Motivation: Stop Dwelling on the Past
Broccoli, Ham and Swiss Casserole
Hi Lovelies! I seem to have gotten into the habit of creating multiple Saturday posts since the new year. 🤷♀️ My first thought is, “That’s weird”, but I justify it by saying the recipes pair well together. When I was reading the recipe for the Buttermilk Bread, the notes on the side said it was … Continue reading Broccoli, Ham and Swiss Casserole
Buttermilk Bread
I used to spend a lot of time at my grandparents’ home. They were honestly 2 of my favorite people while I was growing up. My grandmother taught me patience and strength. She is the reason I love to cook. My grandfather taught me the value of family and loyalty to those I love. We … Continue reading Buttermilk Bread
