Bertolli Meal Soups Saves Our Dinner Blues

Bertolli Meal Soups Saves Our Dinner Blues

My husband and I often wait until after the kids are in bed to have our dinner. We tried 1 of the Bertolli Meal Soups, and now have a new favorite addition to our very limited choices in our meals for two category. I cannot tell you how many times R and I have gone in circles with the question "what do you want for dinner?" It's awful to say, but in the last 6 months I've had more bowls of cereal … [Read more...]

The first of 3 boxes of wine arrived from California Wine Club (@cawineclub) at my house 2 weeks ago, and when it arrived I got a call from R very mystified by the arrival of this box that required his ID.

I … [Read more...]

Tea Time!

Tea Time!

I'm pretty sure that I already told you that I am OBSESSED with tea and tea culture.  I love throwing tea parties, going to tea parties, or just drinking tea by myself.

This great app is available starting today for … [Read more...]

$11! Autumn Centerpiece

One of the main reasons I love autumn is because of the vibrant colors that are associated with the season... harvest yellow, orange, and different shades of red. I'm going to show you how to make a really lovely centerpiece to bring some festivity into your home, or to give as a gift.  You will spend a fraction of how much flower arrangements usually cost.  In fact, the cost of the centerpiece … [Read more...]
