Trick-or-Treating: The Rules
Halloween is almost here. My husband and I have noticed that in the last few years we’ve been getting quite a lot of — ahem — older trick-or-treaters. Like practically college age. So we’ve come up with some rules this year that we’d like the kids to follow.
Pantry Pride
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 […]

Things I Like In Theory
I like a lot of things. But I’ve realized that there are also a lot of things I like in theory, but not in practice. Confused? Let me explain.
