Oh wow wow wow it was a good day. Yesterday was exhausting and we slept late followed by a late breakfast and chat with one of the B&B owners about WW II and the German occupied but English owned Channel Islands. Next we strolled to visit the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace where all of
The most fabulous thing happened today. Not in any tour book I read, but trust me, I’ve discovered what might be the most exciting thing I’ve seen in London so far. Today was a monster of a day and we did all the things. We started out at the Tower of London. Tip: get there

It’s March Break Madness and I have nothing to show for it friends. I ran around all week getting ready for the break, exhausting my resources, patients, and ability to cook. You don’t even want to know how many meals were leftovers, take out, premade grocery store meals, or just plain fend for yourself, but I’ll
My mom was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago, and after an all too quick battle, she passed away late last fall. I’ve been offline with the blog for awhile just because it was too much, I wanted to take some time to process and figure things out, and quite honestly my heart was
Winner, winner, chicken dinner and if this is wrong I don’t want to be right were my two other obvious choices for this particular recipe. Kudos first of all to my friend Julie who introduced this to my family a few months back. I was out of town for an extended period caring for an
