Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers out there! I’m just popping in to say “Hi!” and share some quick recipes that I made last night and this morning for us to enjoy today. First off is the Trifle I made last night. This will be our dessert tonight. If you follow me on…

This morning, we enjoyed breakfast while watching my cousin in England live-streaming his “Family Rave.” He’s a DJ, and has a great business doing family-friendly raves in the London are. With the whole lockdown going on, his monthly events have been cancelled. What did he decide to do? He’s doing them for free, live-streaming them…

You know, I thought it was just me who was feeling off this week, but after chatting with a few friends and acquaintances, it seems to be across the board. All week I’ve just felt less than stellar, like I was in a daze or a fog, and I’ve just been exhausted and sluggish. Add…

You ever have those days where you are just completely and utterly exhausted? Yeah, that’s me today. Little Man has just been so clingy the past few days. He cut one of his canines over the weekend, and the other is all red and swollen, just trying to break through. As a result, he’s just…

It’s May Day! We’ve made it through April, and are now into May. That means it’s almost summertime! I have to say, after my post the other day about the lack of progress on, well, anything around here, but especially the garden, stuff got done yesterday. MIL decided she was tired of FIL monkey-dinking around…

With everything going on in the world, it is so extremely important to take time out for yourself. I am on 24/7/365 when it comes to Little Man, so when I can escape and get time to myself, I truly do treasure it. I managed to get an extra long shower in this morning (15…
