Ice cream is the quintessential summer treat! Did you know that today is Vanilla Ice Cream Day? And to make it even more special July is Ice Cream month. After the year we’ve all had so far perhaps ice cream for breakfast wouldn’t be such a stretch for today 😉 So in case you find […]

July is often the time of year for trips to the beach. Could be day trips to a shore close to home or road trips to places states away. This year might look a little different… could be we’re only dreaming of days spent with our toes in the sand. So if you have sandcastles […]
On Saturday it will be the 4th of July here in the U.S. It’s a holiday generally devoted to time outdoors, great food shared with family and friends topped off with an evening of fireworks. This year’s celebration may look a little different than what we are used to but let’s focus on the positive […]
We are smack dab in the middle of two pretty important “holidays” for us memory keepers… National Selfie Day on the 21st and Camera Day on the 29th! As scrapbookers, both of those things come in pretty handy for our creative outlet. Our cameras are vastly different depending on our lifestyle but probably fall under […]
How’s that Passport to Relaxation card coming for June? Are you a “get started early so I have time to slack off at the end of the month” or “only do I find my spark if I wait until the last possible minute” kind of scrapper? Or maybe you’re somewhere in the middle. However you […]
Many of us are being presented with more opportunities to get out after the “stay home” mandates are being relaxed. But just because we have the chance, doesn’t mean we’re all comfortable making the choice right now. June is Camping Month which might be a great way to meet in the middle a bit. Out […]
We are a two cat household. We are partial to tortoiseshell’s around here, body style the chubbier the better, that’s how I like ’em. As I write this, one is curled up in a tight little wad perched on the back of the sofa and one is snoring loudly in the dog bed that she’s […]
The end of the school year is always a little bittersweet, but this year even more so. The last couple of months have been very unusual with most children unable to attend school in person. Some have shifted to online and virtual learning, others have had their school year come to an abrupt halt. No […]

Fair warning… if you have a weakness for chocolate this might not be the best day to read the blog 😉 Because tomorrow is National Chocolate Chip Day! For many of us that means warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies. I have determined that I am a stress baker, so as you can imagine there’s a […]
I’m guessing some of my fellow mamas out there have a new definition on what all it means to be a FULL-time mom now that it includes everyone home 24/7. I’m very fortunate that my kids are adults so our shelter-at-home time has not added new responsibilities for me but it has certainly increased my […]
