Chess is a strategic board game that has been around since before the 7th century. A person learning chess develops the left hemisphere of their brain and exercises all kinds of functions like memory, strategic thought, attention, and cognitive abilities. All that said, it’s a bit difficult and confusing for a child to get the…
Right about now, I’d normally share a variety of views of a beautiful flower bouquet from Teleflora as a way to help you pick the most perfect Mother’s Day arrangement. This year, things are quite different. Social distancing has changed the way we normally conduct life. It doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate all moms…
Lately everyone seems to be interested in learning how to make homemade hand sanitizer. It is no wonder, since it is so incredibly hard to find in stores these days. I was also one of those people and decided to make my own alcohol based hand sanitizer with aloe gel recipe. It is a good…
Losing someone close to us is always hard. I have lost so many loved ones in my life and it never gets easier. I lost both of my parents in the past 15 years, and just over a year ago, I lost my best friend in most tragic and senseless way imaginable. I have grieved…
Sometimes when cooking, something strange happens. Oddball flavors end up tasting really good together when you never in a million would have have expected them to. Kind of like peanut butter and chocolate I suppose, but look at how popular they are! I never would have thought that mint and caramel would be so tasty…
This salad may sound sound like a strange combination to some, but the flavors mesh perfectly and the textures are right on spot. Avocado Fruit Salad? It really works. Banana and avocado have the same consistency and similar mellow flavor and they blend together so well. The carrots add a little crunch and added sweetness….
There are tasty hamburgers, and then there are TASTY BURGERS! If you’ve seen the move Pulp Fiction then you might appreciate the phrase, “That’s a TASTY burger!”. There’s nothing better than going to a little hole in the wall hamburger joint and biting into a burger that tastes like…well, how a burger is supposed to…
I love salad. There is something about the cold, crisp lettuce and cold veggies that just tastes good. May it is because I know I am eating something good for me. Maybe it is because I like the crunch. Perhaps it is just the whole shebang! Who knows. I do know, however, that when I…
I am a sucker for shellfish. When I was a little girl, growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was introduced to some of the best seafood anywhere (well all types of food, really). We were exposed to so many fantastic ethnic foods as well, and I think I was pretty lucky to…
Homemade Crispy Chewy Croutons? Yep you heard it right. These tasty cubes are my own creation and they are pretty amazing, if I do say so myself! Homemade Crispy Chewy Croutons Croutons are typically hard and crunchy, but these little nuggets add such a powerful punch to any salad. I think they are especially good…
If you are like me, you have hundreds {or maybe even thousands} of containers of makeup. Some are newer and used daily, and some you only use sometimes. For the latter, it is hard to dispose of them, as you never know when you might need that certain color. I have found the perfect makeup…
My girls love when they get to spend a day with their grandma. I also love it because they usually come home with a plate of cookies or brownies or cake that they made that day. That is one of their favorite things about grandma’s house – getting to help bake, decorate, and enjoy a…
Since I started oil painting a few years back, I love pretty much anything to do with painting (even painting walls!). At almost any time, you can find me with paint on my hands. Sometimes though I want to just relax and not have to do much thinking about what I am going to paint….
DIY Windshield De-icer Growing up in California, I never dreamed I would have to worry about frozen windshields. When we moved to Oregon a couple of years ago, I quickly discovered that frozen windshields are a real thing. I bought a scraper and when the first cold freeze of the season arrived, I tried to…
Sometimes it’s nice to have a little push when it comes to taking control of your health. That is true for me at least, and that’s why it is nice to find an app like Optimity! Optimity – that app that rewards you for good choices! I have always loved earning and “winning” things for…

The world is a scary place right now. I’m sure you have felt the impact in one way or another. If you’re like me, you probably have been unable to find hand sanitizer at your local stores, and most likely you haven’t been able to find it online either. Many people have resorted to looking…
