Hey everybody! Can you feel that? Yes, it’s April! You know what that means? Spring is finally here! Hip, hip hooray! But while I’m so excited to welcome back warmer weather and longer afternoons, the dusty promise of spring-cleaning looms in front of me. This year, however, I’m taking a new stance on spring-cleaning! It’s […]

Hey Folks! September is a time for celebration and remembrance. Either way you slice it, it’s one month that reminds me every year why I’m proud to be an American. I can just imagine Uncle Sam smiling down on us as summer ends and the air starts to cool. But I was thinking the other […]

So who’s ready for a nice glass of ice-cold lemonade? How about another barbeque? A trip to the beach? Not so much, eh? As much as we love the outdoor activities and flavors of summer, when fall swings around they just don’t appeal to us as much. Maybe it’s the cooler weather. Or maybe people […]

It’s back-to-school for thousands of local children, and it’s making me a bit nostalgic for my own school days. Sometimes I wish I could hop right back on that yellow bus and head back to school right along with the kids. But being a grown-up has some serious advantages. We get to make the rules! And no […]

Can’t wait to find another really good movie to add to my list of […]

It’s that extraordinary time of year again!!!! A time for fun and frolic and drumroll please . . . FOOTBALL. Yes, folks, Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to party! Sure, it’d be great to be going to the Big Easy to watch the game in […]

Happy NEW Year! There’s something invigorating about a new year. A fresh start. A blank page. The chance to make a change. The opportunity to make this year better than the last. Kind of like the first day of school all over again. With all the holiday decorations put away, the house feels renewed. Around […]

November 6 is quickly approaching and you know what that means! No, it doesn’t mean you only have a few weeks to bust out your turkey basters and best pumpkin recipes, although that in and of itself is a very important matter (I’ll talk turkey on my next post). No for now, I’m climbing on […]
