Women of all walks of life around the globe have been cutting their own hair since the Covid-19 pandemic started. I was actually in the process of growing out my hair and had the beginnings of a nice bob going on. I can’t remember at what point my frustration won out but it happened pretty […]

Banana Crumb Muffins
My husband and I are going through a muffin phase. We love the convenience of ready-to-go servings. We have even started turning our favorite cake recipes into muffins. This recipe started out from a tried and true crumb spice cake recipe from my mother-in-law and has since developed into its current incarnation. It has a […]

Nobody’s Looking
Binged on Netflix Looking for something to binge watch this week? Check out Netflix’s Nobody’s Looking. It is a Brazilian based series that was released in November of 2019. The first season has eight episodes about 30 minutes long. I binged it in two days, no problem. What’s It About Nobody’s Looking follows the new […]

L’oreal Telescopic Mascara
A mascara I love at the moment for long lashes is L’Oreal’s Telescopic Shocking Extensions. It really is like “liquid extensions” in a tube especially for me as I do not consider my eyelashes very long or very lush. I have been using it for a few weeks and love the length. And so far […]

Happy National Toilet Paper Day
It’s August 26th. You know what that means? I didn’t either… but it is apparently National Toilet Paper Day (in the US)! I don’t know about you but we cannot go a day without thinking about toilet paper. Either for the daily business or because someone has forgotten to reload the holder. Considering how much […]
The Kindness of Strangers
Jeff and I headed out on our two and half week voyage to visit family in Thunder Bay. Since this is our first big trip with Maggie, Glenn, AND Abby we decided that we would take things slow. The first day we planned for four hours to get us to North Bay. We loaded up […]
My Two Cents
Advice for Those Younger Than Me
I have been doing some cleaning in my office. Purging really. It has been time consuming because it is mostly paper stuff and I want to read most things to determine their value. I would say ninety percent is getting recycled. The rest is either being scanned to put in my One Note in a […]

Bullies, Bastards and Bitches
Book Review, by Judy Downing Villains are useful creatures. Without the evil Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter’s trials and tribulations would have been reduced to a sometimes petulant young man struggling to survive his lessons and gain acceptance from his peers. George Wickham, a very different kind of villain in Pride and Prejudice, opens Elizabeth Bennett’s […]
Becoming a Writer
I’m a fan of old tomes like Becoming A Writer by Dorothea Brande, first published in 1934. This is the kind of self-help book we all wish we could write, one that so hits the mark that it endures for 75 years and is as relevant today as when it was first published. Despite the […]
