Summer Mornings on the Front Porch
On May 28, 2024 by PamWhat is your morning routine? When the weather is warm, I love to get up early, workout or do yoga or go for a bike ride and then have a cup of coffee on the porch. When I have the opportunity to sit on the front porch with a cup of coffee, I often get
Summertime…and a couple more Dishcloths
On May 25, 2024 by PamThis year we put up a gazebo beside our pool. A big shout out to Zachary, who gave up a weekend to help us put it up and Sebastian who helped us finish the roof on Mother’s Day. So, whenever I start to think my life is a bit hard or rough, I take a

Are You Looking for a New Cookbook?
On May 14, 2024 by PamI often find recipes on Pinterest or during a google search, but I still like putting my hands on a “real” cookbook.

Feet…
On May 12, 2024 by PamWhen Zachary came home last weekend, he opened up a box that contained his new camping cot.
