Soup of the Week – New and Improved Butternut Squash Edition

Butternut squash soup has made an appearance on this blog more than once. It’s a family favorite. Can’t help it. This week’s Soup of the Week is a slight variation and/or improvement on our standard butternut squash soup, though. This one is a creamy butternut squash soup. And it has some of my homemade garbage soup in…

Ten Things of Thankful AND a Monday Listicles – I Love You Edition

Every now and then, I link up with Stasha’s Monday Listicles posts. I haven’t done one in a while, but I always love reading them. When I saw this week’s lists, though, I knew that list topic was not only a great (late) Listicles post, but it would also work perfectly for a Ten Things of…

Five Friday Favorites: Secrets for a Successful Marriage

The Fab Hub and I have no business telling anybody else how to have a happy or successful marriage. We are by far not the poster children for blissfully happy marriage. That sounds awful, doesn’t it? It’s not that we’re pessimistic or that we have a lousy relationship. Perhaps it’s just that we’re a lot…

Bad Cat Habits

My pet’s least likeable trait? This is way too easy. The winner of this dubious award goes to Cat One. The offending character trait? He licks himself. There. All. The. Time.

Too Lazy Tuesday

Nobody likes Tuesday. Tuesday is worse than Monday. It’s not as hated as Monday. It’s not halfway there and hopeful like Wednesday. And it’s nowhere near the downslide into the weekend that made Thursday and Friday famous. Tuesday is just there, being awkward. Since all my efforts at being productive on Monday night were thwarted…

A Day on the Mountain

Happy weekend, friends! Or, maybe happy second half of the weekend? Today’s post is a goodie – a guest post by the Fab Hub! No, he’s not going to walk you through the process of making his Oregano Chicken…but he will walk you through his guys’ day hike at our favorite hiking spot recently. Follow…

Ten Things of Thankful – The Off Week Edition

Our week has been really…off. Everyone’s schedule has been altered in one way or another this week. Kidzilla had a school holiday. I had a teacher in-service day and an early dismissal day. The Fab Hub started his online classes. It feels like we haven’t quite gotten the hang of the week yet…and now it’s over.…

The Lunch Box Master

The Fab Hub is a lunch box master. This is pretty amazing since when we met, the man had no idea how to pack a lunch. In fact, while we were not dating, I used to bring a few extra items in my lunch to share with him since we worked at the same place…

Lessons Learned From a White T-Shirt

I should know better than to wear white shirts. It doesn’t matter how careful I am to avoid anything that might sully the pristine canvas of a white t-shirt…the shirt gets it every time. This time it was yellow highlighter. Of all things, how did that manage to come in contact with my torso? Zilla…
