I wanted to share an idea that I’ve been doing for about a year now. After experiencing the challenges (not sure how else to put it without swear words) of chemo I started making chemo gift bags.

'Tis the Season: Vintage Watches
The HOTY (a.k.a. Husband of the Year) has a watch collection. Some are fancy. Some are not. But he loves everything he’s got. For super special occasions, I like to add to his collection.

She only agreed to… Continue reading The Iron Lady with a Silver Lined Heart

Out and About
This weekend, the HOTY, Finally Five and I have been to a boatload of parties. Fun! Fun! Fun! I’ve talked with a number of people at these gatherings who were bemoaning the fact that they had to go to “so many parties.” Well, I’m certainly not the person to whom one ought to bemoan about… Continue reading Out and About
