For a limited time only! As someone who observes Lent and Easter, I thought I would give up sugar for Lent. While that’s a healthy idea, I realized, it wasn’t going to bring me closer to God. So I opted for something more in that direction. This meant sugar was back on the table! I haven’t had… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: Peeps and Cadbury Mini Eggs

 It’s not just for cooking anymore! I use coconut oil each morning as part of my oral health care routine. Hear me out! Before I brush, I swish a spoonful of coconut oil in my mouth for about 10 minutes as I make my bed and get dressed. It sounds odd, maybe even gross to some, but it’s naturally… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: Coconut Oil

Like those ’70s shampoo commercials:“…and they told two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on…” Talk about connecting and sharing, not to mention perfect timing for the Super Bowl! I recently shared the Sports Alerts App with a friend I thought would have every sports App known to man! At my suggestion, he downloaded it immediately (for… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: The Sports Alerts App!

It is the Alpha and the Omega!  Like many of you, making the bed is non-negotiable! I totally relate! I can probably count on one hand the number of times I left my bed UNmade. And if I were to guess, those days probably went a little wonky (that’s a word-right?). It’s very simple, making the bed can… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: A Made Bed

“Seeing RED” is not a bad thing in my world. Red is BOLD! Red is FIRE! Red is LIFE! Red is luck, energy, motivation, passion and LOVE. A great RED will always strike me the best way. It’s patriotic. It’s sporty. It’s fun! If you know me, you know that I am not afraid of… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: My Red Powder Room

It’s the little things! In these colder and darker winter days, I’m realizing more and more lately that I have to have my frother!!! What is it? It’s like a mini “beater” that I use to froth up my oat milk creamer for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Any added incentive to get my feet out of… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: My Frother!

Is live music a necessity for you! It is for me! If a stranger were to ask me to name my hobbies and interests, LIVE MUSIC would always make the list! TOP of my list actually! It’s just something I have to have! When the world shut down in 2020, the desire to see and listen to… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: Live Music!

Kind of random, I know! But hear me out! If you don’t know what this is, a Lazy Susan is basically a turntable or round rotating tray placed on a table or counter. I have a couple of Lazy Susans I use quite effectively in my house. One is on my center island where I… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: Lazy Susans

Mirrors are multipurpose! If you know me, you know I take the opportunity to use mirrors in every room! EVERY ROOM! When it comes to interior design, mirrors are a great alternative to art on the wall because they can enlarge any space and flood it with light! Possessing the gentle ability to improve surroundings and energy, especially when amplifying the goodness and splendor… Continue reading Things I Have to Have: Mirrors!

If you know me, you know that I LOVE Block Island! After spending many summer days there in my youth, we decided to make it an annual trip for our own family for more than TEN summer vacations! We wanted to give our sons some great memories of a magical place! We brought friends, they brought friends.… Continue reading Things I Have to Have:
Block Island rocks!
