All the traipsing around North Texas on Saturday sure made The Boy and I hungry. Thankfully Mom was there to save us. Seriously. In the middle of the smallest historic downtown strip I’ve ever seen (note to my relatives: the downtown was smaller than Howard…or Elk Falls. Really.), was Mom’s on Main. It was ranked one […]

New Reading Material
I keep a fairly full blog reader – I read decorating blogs, fashion blogs, work-related blogs, family and friend blogs and faith blogs. Every now and then I even take a bit of time to interact with my fellow bloggers. One of my favorite faith blogs is Jon Acuff’s Stuff Christians Like. It’s satire {love} […]
And Another Fort Worth Food Find
One can’t survive on a single meal, regardless of how delicious it is (oh, Lonesome Dove Bistro, you made us so happy!). Off we headed post-marathon to another of Chef Tim Love’s restaurants, the Love Shack. Also located in the historic Stockyards, the Love Shack is little more than that – a shack. Or rather, […]
Fort Worth Food Find
While we were in Fort Worth the other weekend, we stopped for a late lunch at a restaurant I’d been wanting to try for some time, the Lonesome Dove Bistro. Tucked away in the historic Stockyards, Lonesome Dove is Chef Tim Love’s flagship restaurant. Don’t know Chef Tim Love? If you watch the Food Network, […]
A Little Bit Brit
The Boy discovered his favorite cereal when we were staying overnight at a B&B outside of Bath, England. One bite of Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut cereal and he was hooked – the perfect blend of nutty flavor and slight sweetness. I kept us regularly stocked while we lived in the UK and expected to do the […]
I Appreciate Great Customer Service
So when I experience great customer service, I want to share it with the whole world! Several years ago, my Baby Sister gave me a dozen carafes as a Christmas gift. She knows how I love to entertain. These have certainly come in handy: The only problem is using them outside of a party situation. […]
Deadly Yummy
Dear Blogland, I’ve been busy – the kind of busy that leads to slightly-but-not-overly-stressed-out, low personal creativity levels and no time to do anything that I’d actually like to be doing. That really stinks. But I would like to mention that I have been able to go to the gym every morning this week. {That’s […]
I’m Not Sure I Should Share This…
I stopped in my local Sprouts over the weekend to pick up a few things. While browsing the aisle, and fanning myself to recover from the 104F temps, I developed a hankering for ice cream. And that’s when I discovered something that, truth be told, I’m a little reluctant to share on the blog with […]
Lawn Tested
I can moan all I like, but it doesn’t change things. Seriously – it’s sad, but true: until we get the Hayley House paid for, there will be no underground sprinklers to make watering the lawn an easier task. One of my tasks has been to find sprinkler units that will make the chore a […]
Where Have You Been?
Ah, Floetrol….where have you been all my life? Mixing a tablespoon or two of you into latex paint makes brush strokes just disappear. Work is easy, painting is quick – sandpaper, a thing of the past. Pick up a quart of the stuff for yourself at any big box hardware store. A quart sells for […]
