Food, Family, and Lifestyle
This past weekend, we took a break from home renovations (oh, so much to share with you) to stop by the annual Virtu art festival in downtown Westerly. A local artist was modifying a painting for us, and we were more than happy to take a short break from the ton-o-work going on at home, to…
Our girl turned 11 this April and although we had our family celebration on her Birthday, we did not celebrate with her friends until this past weekend. She wanted a nature themed party so we started off with a hike and then returned to our home for some games (I ended up being pelted with…
We made the bacon lasagna recipe below to welcome our new neighbors. We packed it up in a nice casserole dish along with heat pack, to welcome them to the neighborhood (gosh, I hope they return our dish). It is important to our family that our neighbors feel welcome and part of the family and really…

Some days, after many hours of practice or competition, they ask for one of those dang, fake-stuff-in-them sports drinks but I remind them to drink water. They insist that sometimes…
This week is spring vacation for the kids. Because I started a new job a month ago, I am not taking any time off, however; my husband does have the week off. Over the past week, we somehow ended up switching the dining room with the playroom, which opens up its own can of worms….
Lately, our weekly dinner plans include having ‘Taco Bar Tuesday’, and this week I decided that this quick and easy weeknight meal needing to be taken up a notch. I mean, how many times can you put out ground beef, lettuce, salsa, beans, guacamole and cheese onto a tortilla? No more than four times I…
