Those who have tasted a summer tomato sun-sweetened on the vine or a crisp cucumber plucked, or fresh herbs right from the garden, know the intense flavor of fresh-picked produce is unrivaled by anything found in a supermarket. Okay, before any assumptions are made, we know not everyone has this capacity for home grown; however, if you do, we’ve got all the reasons you need to get started* If a simple window sill is involved… so be it!

This Mother’s Day, we want to let you in on the sweetest gift idea that EVERY mother, daughter, friend, aunt, or even baker would want!

It’s Not a Competition with the “Other” Grandma*

It’s Not a Competition with the “Other” Grandma*

Apr 25, 2021 |

A wonderful read about sharing, caring, loving and being…..

How do you get along with the “other” grandma? Many grandmas have confessed they feel competitive with the “other” grandma. It’s normal to feel a little rivalry for our grandchildren’s affection. Knowing it’s shared with another set of grandparents can sometimes feel threatening — especially, if the “other” grandma lives closer to the grandchildren, has more money to spend on them, and has more privileges because she’s the maternal grandma. Sometimes it can feel like a real tug-o-war with the other grandma. So how do you get into the right mindset that allows you to be the best grandma you can be without feeling like it’s a competition?

Yes, Chocolate is Good for You!

Feb 4, 2021 |

(okay, okay in moderation that is!)

So here’s the deal about chocolate – first of all, it’s actually been reported to boost your immune system. Yep, that little cacao bean (the source from which chocolate is derived) is full of antioxidants which play a key role in supporting a healthy system. The truth is, the deeper the color chocolate, the more antioxidants. So go for that dark chocolate, as the lighter milk chocolate doesn’t offer the same benefits.

Masks are a must, so why not add some extra style…

Jan 14, 2021 |

Masks are here to stay — at least for a long while. One of our favorite ways to wear a mask (and not lose it) is to wear a mask chain. Have you tried it? We have found two sites that make the chains… and the chains are made by KIDS. Plus, each company donates a portion of their proceeds to charity. How great is this! Take a look. You may want to order one – or more!

Dec 3, 2020 |

An ad came up on my computer and in less than 10 seconds I had clicked, “Yes,” and sent my credit card number. Now the amount wasn’t much, so what could I lose?
