Pantry Organization

    O.k. so I just had to share.  The first of this year I set a very lofty goal – to organize some part of my house every day until I had worked my way through the whole house – I started the year off great by organizing my office desk and that’s where it stopped!  So [...]

What’s for Dinner?

Aren’t there times when you just cringe when you hear those words – especially those nights when you are rushing to get out the door to a home event or team meeting.  Even as much as we would like to imagine otherwise – the troops do need to be fed!   This Monday –  Sept. 24, [...]
