TToT – Between the Holidays
So here we are. It’s the end of a year once again and the beginning of a new one waits just ahead. I have been feeling rather reflective the last couple of weeks, even amidst the busy-ness of the holidays. Here between the Christmas and New Year holidays seems a good time to do that. The…

TToT – Enjoying Life!
We have been busy here, friends! I have to tell you this. I can’t remember quite enjoying the time leading up to the holidays as much as I am this year. It’s different. I could ramble on here for a few paragraphs about all the specifics of why, but I’m not going to. Let me…

TToT – We Are Christmas-a-fied!
Well, at least I am. And Kidzilla definitely is! Hard to say how the Hub feels about the whole thing, given that he’s Jewish and all, but he certainly has done his fair share of tree-trimming with us and shelf elf duty and OUTDOOR LIGHT HANGING. We have been quite busy Christmas-ing this week and…

TToT – Decking the Halls
Want to know what I really hate? I hate how crowded the house feels when it’s decorated for the holidays. I know, bah humbug. But it really always does and that makes me feel like the holidays are somehow…oppressive, no matter how enjoyable. But not this time! With the new hardwood floors in place this year,…

Winter Drab
Nearly all of the trees were bare now. Just days ago, the world was alive with the vibrant hues of mid-Autumn. The sun set every branch aflame with its golden touch and the red, orange, yellow exploded everywhere. But now the trees stood naked before the glaring eye of winter chill, their branches stripped by…

TToT – Short and Sweet
Well, I had grand plans of being ready to go with this post on Friday afternoon. Don’t know what happened. Yes, I do. I’ve been denying that I’m having an RA flare for about three days now. I’m moving slowly. I just need to make up my mind to acknowledge it and get through it.…

Soup of the Week – Homemade Cream of Mushroom
My Husband tells me that I second-guess myself too much. He’s probably right. Most often, I do my second-guessing in the kitchen. Is this really going to be enough for four people? That doesn’t seem like enough seasoning. Maybe the soup is too thin. And so I will very often make changes based on that bit…

TToT – Post-iversary!
So as it turns out, this is my 350th post. A little post-iversary, if you will. I kind of want confetti and party horns to happen here…pretend it did. Now let’s get down to the business of being Thankful. I’ve been exercising my culinary muscles in the kitchen again this week and managed a couple…

TToT – Lazy and Late
I am late to the party this week. We’ve had a very lazy weekend and I kinda want to get back to that since the next few will keep us hopping! But I’m going to get this in under the wire, thanks to Dyanne for giving me a little poke.

Soup of the Week – Our Favorite Easy Creamy Tomato
There is nothing like grilled cheese and tomato soup. The Hub and Kidzilla love the combo so much that when everyone else runs to the store ahead of a winter blizzard to buy milk and bread, I get marching orders for the makings of grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s snow day food around here.…
