Slice of Life Day 21: Sundays are for Chores
I’ve been working a lot of Saturdays lately. The past three Saturdays in a row, in fact. And I’m realizing that the house is slowly falling into disarray because of it. I normally have the whole weekend to work on cleaning up the house. But working from 10-5 has thrown…

Slice of Life Day 20: Every Morning
Every morning, my routine is the same. Aria, my pit mix, wakes me up 20 minutes before the alarm. And every morning, I try to ignore her as she jumps on and off the bed, whining because she’s ready to start her day.Even if I’m awake, I don’t get out…

Slice of Life Day 19: Chipotle Tahini Bowls
I found a new yummy recipe that I wanted to share with you – Chipotle Tahini Bowls from Pinch of Yum! I’ll be honest, this was a little more involved than what I typically would make for a weekday meal, but it was super tasty. What I love is that…

Slice of Life Day 17: Luck of the Irish
Yesterday was a really lucky day for me! As Michael Scott from The Office would say, “I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.” And yesterday, the luck of the Irish was working in my favor for St. Patrick’s Day! Refrigerator We’ve been battling with an appliance company since…

Slice of Life Day 17: St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day in my house means the one time a year I make corned beef. Isn’t it weird that some foods are only made around a specific holiday? Chex Mix in my house growing up was only made around Christmas. I’m not sure why. When I moved out after…

Slice of Life Day 16: Bathroom Renovations
March seems to be the time that we do a lot of our renovations. Most likely because I’m getting cabin fever from being indoors all winter long, the holidays are over so there’s a little more free time, and I’m looking for ways to brighten up the indoors. This year,…

Slice of Life Day 15: How Does Your Garden Grow?
Our “back-door” neighbors as I call them have an absolutely beautiful yard. Both the husband and wife love to garden and you can clearly tell. Most weekends, I’ll see one or both of them tending to flowers, vegetables, trimming this, moving that. It’s a constant battle – protecting the young…

Slice of Life Day 14: Perfect Gift
I love searching for the perfect gift for a friend or family member. It’s like the best kind of treasure hunt – finding something that is personal and means so much to that person. I think it’s one of the reasons I love Christmas time so much – not getting…

Slice of Life Day 13: One Year
One year ago, I was told we were closing the library for two weeks to self-quarantine. Never in a million years would I have guessed where we’d be now. It’s been one heck of a year. But, I’m going to share a positive rather than harp on all the negative…

Slice of Life Day 12: Mansplaining
Yesterday we had a new microwave installed. It’s, unfortunately, a very long story. We replaced all of our kitchen appliances last summer and have had numerous problems with three out of four of them. The microwave was finally deemed unrepairable and after a new one was delivered (and not installed),…
