I sometimes, well often, just want the silly and a good laugh! So, here are a few…

Washington, DC is a city with endless things to do and sites to see. You have to visit multiple times to even come close to doing it all and to do it well.

We are so fortunate to live in the New York City area. The only problem is when you have to go down 5 days a week for work, like my husband did, the last thing you want to do is go back down on the weekend. Hence, the spouse doesn’t spend as much time in NYC as they’d like. But all that changed when he retired…

Where our food comes from is one of the most important things you should know. And not only the where, but also who is producing the food and are they pouring their heart and soul into that production.

There are some products I keep gravitating to. Maybe because they are both affordable AND work. I am so tired of being suckered into spending big bucks for products that end up being nothing special, but I feel sick throwing out. In the case of face products, rather than discarding, I end up using on my hands! What a waste of good money… Here are…
