Bonjour. Ciao. Hallo. I am back from my Europe trip with lots of stories, tips and today, the flowers in Europe. And along with the beautiful images of the flowering blooms, I wanted to share the coolest thing I witnessed on the streets in Rome. But first the flowers in Europe. The streets in Paris and the city markets…
In less then two weeks, I will be boarding a flight to travel to Europe. And although I am filled with excitement and an overwhelming feeling of gratitude to be able to go, I am also nervous and anxious. I have never been away from my kids or husband for 10 days, and just writing this…
Morning! Thanks for coming by for Tea Time at Duke Manor! Did you have a good week….I hope so. We are currently preparing for some winter weather this afternoon, like most of the country, with some ice and snow. Ice is certainly no fun and typically what we experience more in Northeast Georgia ( last…
I consider myself to be pretty fortunate and blessed to have such amazing girl friends. Girlfriends from every aspect of my life. Friends from my childhood, school, my corporate career, my single life, my married life, my blogging life, and my mom life. I would like to think that the commonalities we share and the…

The other day I walked into my kitchen to see a ‘miner’ cleaning his rocks in the sink, a ‘waiter’ in a tux saying he is going to serve me breakfast and a sassy ‘cheetah’ who was purring cause she was ready to eat. Take a look at my real life funny farm. If you…
I just wanted to pop in and wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a…
Don’t hate me but……… my Christmas cards are getting ready to be addressed and the shopping for the kids is just about completed. Last December when I was completely crazed and running around like a wild woman, I told myself that December was going to be a month of enjoying everything that makes the season…
