There's always something beautiful outside. Today is one of the biggest shopping days in the United States. As a child, I always thought it was strange that the day after we show gratitude we shop. As an adult, I recognize just how commercialized everything has become. The British Hubby often calls this country, The United…Read more Celebrating Life: Opt Outside

Haunted Handwarmers: Day 13
Nothing happens without a reason. ~ Marilyn Monroe Lucky day 13! Or maybe it's a baker's dozen? (Oh man, I can tell I've been pushing myself in my workouts this week.

Cowl-o-Ween: Days 2, 3 and 4

Haunted Handwarmers: Day 10
Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around. ~ Henry David Thoreau The weather is turning colder, and it's election day here in the States. I'ld like to say we're going to focus on something other than the results starting tomorrow, but that may not be the reality. To keep my mind off…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 10
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 8
"Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron boil." William Shakespeare This is Halloween. This is Halloween. Okay, I maybe watching The Nightmare Before Christmas today just so I could sing that song all weekend long! In my defense, I was singing the song before I watched the movie. It's just such a catchy…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 8
