Last night we had a Blackett Creative Night. I try to do this once a week, it doesn’t always happen, but I don’t beat myself up if it doesn’t. When it does, it’s really good. I come up with an activity for the whole family to do that is creative. It might be painting, dancing, … More Cardboard Fun on Creative Night
This was cooking in the crock pot pretty much all day today & it smelled so good! I wasn’t sure I would make it until dinner time, but I survived. I actually used Country Style Pork Ribs instead of pork chops for this recipe because despite some foraging in the chest freezer, I couldn’t find … More Challenge #3 San Francisco Chops (Slow Cooker)
So I’m still on a bit of an organisational high. It helps having a tidyish house (as tidy as possible with two creative young boys running around). Anyway, my creative juices are kicking in & my administrative tendencies are on high alert. All that to say that I am back in the saddle in regards to … More Challenges, Bucket Lists & The Clothes in My Mind
Together? It’s amazing what a big difference a bit of planning & organisation will do for me. I’m pretty good about taking some time on Sundays to plan & prepare for the week ahead. However, the last few weeks I’ve gotten a bit slack, leaving meal & grocery planning until Monday morning before heading out … More Can You Really Have It All…
I love these jeans. I always feel very 50’sish when I wear them. Plus they rate very high on the comfort scale. They have a big cuff. When I was loading the dishwasher after lunch today, I dropped a plate with some cutlery on it & picked the stuff up off the floor & went … More It's Dangerous Loading the Dishwasher

I was excited for a casual day & I love this outfit. It transitioned well for a … More I'm Walking on Sunshine
So when I was planning this week’s menu I had a hankering for Peanut Sauce. I did my usual interweb search & came up with a few possibilities – they all sounded really good, but would require some prep & fancy ingredients. Then I stumbled across this recipe & I was super excited to try … More Challenge #3 Peanut Sauce
I’m so excited that I am participating in the second Paper Doll Project sponsored by Miss Vinyl Ahoy. She matches up style bloggers who then get to wander virtually through each other’s wardrobes & style an outfit for one another. Each blogger suggests one item that they would like their outfit styled around & the … More The Paper Doll Project
That’s a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson & I think it’s lovely. Today is Florals day at Every Body, Every Wear. I had an outfit planned, but when I tried it on, it just wasn’t happening. Then I spotted this dress in my closet so I put it on. I tried to make it super … More Earth Laughs In Flowers
Once again on Pinterest, I found this lovely recipe. I was so excited to try it. It takes a bit of time, but it was really good. I used sausage instead of bacon & beat the eggs before I put them in the hashbrown baskets. Highly recommended, super yummy. For details of this challenge, … More Challenge #3 Breakfast Baskets
