Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
OMG how much do I love Directv so far? HUGE LOVE! With the new TV season starting, I have to re-create any series recordings I had previously setup on my cable DVR. Now, as many of you know, my memory is...well..somewhat challenged on details this days. Be it age, or (as I prefer to view... Continue Reading →
Memo to any cats in the house........who think it is a good idea to bring a mouse toy into my bed at 5:00am on a Saturday morning and begin playing. You know, batting it around, digging into the sheets, flipping it up in the air - generally creating mayhem right next to me? You WILL... Continue Reading →
In case you didn't notice from my last post, SportsBoy is looking less like a boy and more like a teen clearly transitioning to a young man: Last summer I hatched a plan to start transitioning his bedroom to match, but somehow got side tracked.

He lurves the sound of water so much that his favorite... Continue Reading →
Still working on the tree ornaments so here's a short pictorial of the weekend Later gators. Oh, and don't forget to leave some slow cooker recipes down below!
Is there anything more adorable that Big Cats acting like baby kitties? Big Cat Halloween, posted with vodpod My favorite painting at the Art Institute of Chicago: I love to first go up as close as possible to see the dots. Seurat was using a technique called pointillism. Dots of pure color are used... Continue Reading →
