Many months ago, my friend Susan, gave me The Tattooist of Auschwitz to read. Over time, Greg read it, Tay read it, and with this whole quarantine thing I finally got around to reading it- and I am so glad I did! The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a true story of Lale and Gita, two … More Good Reads
I decided a good goal for this quarantine would be to cook my way through my cookbooks and I’ve decided to begin with my good friend, Chrissy. Ok- so we aren’t truly friends, and she doesn’t know I exist- but I feel like we could be good friends if we had the chance! I love … More Chrissy Teigen’s Mac and Cheese
Another week is in the books! I’m happy to report I have still NOT put on a pair of “real” pants, I have, though, continued to shower each day (!), and everyone in my house is still alive and functioning. I consider those all little victories! Speaking of pants…I have found my new favorite pants! … More TGIF- fun finds

Since it is healthy-ish and because Tay is such a picky eater, I usually give in and she fills her little belly with a smoothie and a cheddar tomato twist. If you have yet to try the Jamba … More Cheddar Tomato Twists

Yeah, I didn’t either! Upside to the stores and Amazon being out of everything I usually buy- I find new products! The only laundry detergent I could find were these … More TGIF- fun finds
I never thought I would have this much time on my hands to read…but here it is! I am loving the Libby App on my iPad because of the ability to tap into my local library and access the books for free there. If you haven’t downloaded the Libby App- get on that immediately! Paying … More Good Reads
I’m not going to sugar coat it, I’ve been spending a ton of time on social media during this quarantine and one of the bright spots in my online browsing is Chrissy Teigen’s Twitter.

Well- it has been three weeks now of a constant uniform of sweats and leggings, and I can’t say I’m upset about it! Why are sweats not a socially acceptable work uniform? Honestly, after this whole quarantine thing, we- as a society- need to reassess our priorities when it comes to pants! Our orange tree … More TGIF- fun finds
Going to the grocery store these days, things are looking very different. Shelves that were once stocked to the brim are running low, items that were always there suddenly are not. I went to the grocery store right after “lock down” went into effect in California and it was a madhouse. I could not find … More Victory Garden
