A lot of traffic comes to the blog for a post about where to buy plus-size clothes for teenagers. Teenage girls, predominately, with a couple of stores thrown in that would work for the guys too. The search terms got me thinking about my adolescent self and what I...

Here we are, on the very first day of 2021. Not me, I’m probably still in bed sleeping off a food coma. I’m sure the drink has nothing to do with it. This is past me, writing from the New Year’s Eve morning with a determination to make sure we end...

When we first purchased this house, we didn’t know how we would go with one bathroom. Sure, only two people are living here, but we were used to being a two-bathroom home. And of course, we’ve managed, but with the main bathroom in need of repairs now was...

I mean, if this isn’t the show-stopping content you signed up for, I don’t know what would be. Tales from my veggie garden; not the usual search term we get around here. The thing is, I’ve just finished cutting back my cherry tomatoes (for like the...

It’s hard to believe that it’s two years since I said goodbye to my last remaining day job and went fulltime in my business. Seriously, it’s been that long. How does one block of time feel so short but so long at the same time? But we made it. And to...

I’ve been doing my best not to leave the house since we came home from the beach at the end of March. Because Kevin is still attempting to run his business, he has been in charge of supply missions. He has been to the supermarket and bottle shop (when will the...

I’ve had some time on my hands; you might have noticed. First I thought maybe I’d tackle some of the hundreds of classes I had saved on SkillShare. But focus is a fickle friend, so that didn’t work out. Instead, I turned to my list of documentaries...

This is it! The time has come for the resurgence of the personal blog. Not that they were gone-gone or anything. But with the rise of the Insta-blogger, twitter-superstar and all the tween Tik-Tokers, blogging has been a little out-dated. Short, punchy and on platform...

It’s about that time, team! Another year has come to an end (this one went FAST). And since I still consider myself something of a blogger, it’s wrap-up time. I decided that we should do the best of the blog. Take a walk down memory lane and all that....

The plan is to keep this short and sweet. This draft has been in my inbox since late LAST week and its time has come. It’s an update. It’s a catch you up on all the things happening around the old homestead kind of post. If you missed my last update, about...
