Aaahh, the days of summer. Just the word “summer” brings back so many memories. Those were the days when a girl from small-town Kansas could ride her bike around town all summer long. I had lots of family in town so we gathered together in the hot summer evenings for homemade banana nut ice cream […]

I was browsing through some of my favorite blogs today, thinking about the “stuff” in my basement that is in need of a new home. I came across a post at Organized with Style that made me sit up and take note. She suggests an organized swap with friends in order to get rid of the […]
Yesterday, we got over a foot of snow here in Maine. It snowed from sun up to sun down, and since we needed to go out in our cars today, we had to put the snowblower into action. While the drive and sidewalk were being cleared, the kids and I put on our warmest winter […]
