During this pandemic and its related quarantine, I’ve learned quite a bit about myself. I love sitting on the front porch and watching nature. I love having my husband work from home. Oh, and evidently, I’m both a neatnik and a total slob at the same time. Think these two ways of living can’t possible […]

Riley hadn’t gotten a new toy recently. So he decided to find one on his own. We had a Homer Simpson stuffed doll lying on the kitchen table. One of us had found it while cleaning out the basement. My husband decided that he wanted to keep it. He likes The Simpsons, and I had […]

Like every other dog I’ve ever had or met, Riley loves treats. But just as much as he loves treats, Riley loves something else: ice cubes. You might think that a treat, which is made with chicken or beef or veggies of some sort would be much more appealing. But no. Not for this pup. […]

Dear Readers—I know you’re out there, and sometimes I even hear from you. Such was the case when Essex resident Howard Sheckells wrote to me. He suggested a column topic that hits close to home for everyone—especially if you’ll be heading to the grocery store to shop for Thanksgiving dinner.

My husband, Brad, and I are pretty good about knowing our strengths and our weaknesses. I’m not a good singer. At all. You don’t want me singing at your wedding—unless, that is, you want to drive everyone out of the church or ceremony holding their ears and screaming. Brad is not a fan of public […]

When we envision the holiday season, we tend to think of beautiful, twinkling lights, sumptuous meals shared with family and friends, and days filled with love, happiness, and joy. And if you’re stuck in a Normal Rockwell painting, that’s exactly what it’s like. While the holidays have a ton of great times, let’s face it—it’s […]

When you read this title, did you think I was going to write all about the former grocery store chain, Pantry Pride? Well, I’m not. This week’s tale is about the pride I can finally take in my pantry. Yes, this is how pathetic my life is. I’m excited about the fact that I organized […]
