One of my favorite things to do all year is to attend the local Celtic Festival. Luckily, my family enjoys it, too, and even my husband gets in on the fun! A few years ago, Jeff bought a kilt at the festival and yes, he does wear it when we attend. We selected a tartan […]
Marshall’s, Home Goods, and TJMaxx. These are the most beloved stores of so many women these days, especially if you collect Rae Dunn, Terramoto, and other popular home items. Today my daughters and I did a little ‘hunting’ for Halloween items because as any collector knows, you have to grab things early because by Halloween […]
This recipe is super easy and fool proof! I made it recently for a Mother’s Day Brunch at my daughter’s house. It takes minutes to prepare and everyone loved it. You can make this basic recipe or add any of your personal favorites. It’s economical and a great make ahead for Christmas morning or even […]
