Always evolving, Never Average
Yesterday I had a good morning. And I just wanted to share it with you. Because maybe it will help you have a good morning like this someday, too. One of the things the kids love to do is help out in the kitchen. But it can be painful. They can take so long to …Read More
The biggest gift I am giving my family this year for Christmas wasn’t purchased in a store. It wasn’t ordered online. It wasn’t even anything they asked for. Not directly, anyway. But now that I’ve given them this gift, I realize it was something they wanted. And something they needed. In fact, it was something …Read More
A couple weeks ago I asked readers for what egg dishes they served for dinner, and yesterday I tried my own version of one that was suggested by several people. More than one reader suggested a sausage, egg and hash brown bake. But we didn’t have sausage, so I used ham instead. It was SO …Read More

I made applesauce for the first time this past weekend. Can someone please explain to me why I never did this before? It was so good! We have an apple tree in our yard that produces edible apples. I don’t know what kind of apples they are for sure, but I think they are Macintosh. …Read More
About a month ago I came across a blog post entitled “Decluttering Burst: let go of 100 things in less than an hour” on the website Be More With Less, and I decided I was going to start with my clothes. And that led to the decision to try to do a one-hour, 100-item decluttering burst …Read More
I tried another Skinnytaste recipe. Sort of. I adapted the Skinny Buffalo Burger Quesadilla from skinnytaste.com. And my family fucking loved them. I am obligated to use the f-word when talking about them. That’s how much they liked them. And they are so simple! So on skinnytaste.com, the photo of the burger looks like this: And she …Read More
