If you live in an area that gets snow, do you remember your first white Christmas? I do. I was six years old living in Greensboro, when my parents decided to stay with some friends over Christmas. They didn't live far, but apparently a blizzard was on the way, and they wanted to have us …

Spring Holiday Celebrations
Ham is the traditional Easter meal in many households and today I want to share some ideas for ham again for my newer readers. Then, I'll share a new recipe for lovely spring asparagus to go with it. Last year I think I found the absolute most perfect way to serve a Slow Cooked Holiday …
Quick Christmas Projects
December is here, and the cold weather in our part of the world makes me want to stay inside toasty warm and do some sewing, stamping and hot glue projects. I have some new readers that may not have seen previous year's projects, plus some of the long time readers may want to do a …
Vintage Fourth Tablescapes
This year, I thought I'd do my patriotic table with a vintage theme. I had these Bell canning jars and a vintage-style milk crate for inspiration.
