Whew! After my Monday morning began with a hard drive crash, I'm up and running again with a new laptop (and Windows 8, which I'm trying to get used to). As promised earlier in the week, since I missed out on posting my Too Yummy Tuesday feature, I have a great new yummy treat to share  called PB2. It's DRY peanut...

On Mondays I normally gab about whatever I want, but this week I suffered a rather fatal crash of my hard drive. The kind where you can hear the disk grinding funny and know there ain't no bringing it back. Sigh. The crazy thing is, we'd JUST bought a new external terabyte drive to backup my files on. Sadly, I hadn't...

This week's dish is inspired by the fact that I'm just plain darn busy this week. With little time to cook but plenty of work on my "plate," I need fast fuel to keep my...

On Mondays I gab about, well, pretty much whatever I want! It's nose-to-the-grindstone week, meaning I've got two sets of edits back from publishers awaiting my review, plus Mike's latest to finish editing and get up on Amazon, and my work-in-progress that I left in the lurch for several days while I did other things....

Okay, I've got a brand new feature to go along with a brand new video series I'm starting with my little girl. Every week, we will pick out a hairstyle seen on YouTube for inspiration and will attempt to recreate a version of it at home. Our first attempt was double sock buns, which were easy to do, looked adorable on...

Happy Valentine's Week! On Mondays I gab about, well, pretty much whatever I want... The wind is blowing like crazy here in Southern California where I live, the kind of wind that makes me wonder how much of my patio will still be there afterward. It'd be a great day to stay home and cuddle up with a blanket, some warm...

On Mondays I gab about, well, pretty much whatever! Just call me scatterbrained this week! I’ve been jumping around to so many different things that I apparently can’t keep things straight. It was the kind of week where I’d sit down to do one thing, and then remember I was also in the middle of something else. In...
