I’ve been digging on this album by Priscilla Ahn.  Very light and ethereal, but serious.  Her voice is charming. The more I listen the more I love.  And you can download the whole album on itunes for $6.99.  Quel bargain. By Hildie | Filed under Uncategorized 3 Comments Share

It’s Spring Break right now and we, along with everyone else we know, are having a staycation this year. Mister is nearing the deadline of his huge project at work which means no fun for a couple more weeks. So now I have a houseful of children and I’m wondering… Read More

This week for Chocolate Awareness we’re going to check out this candy bar by Perla Chocolates called No.5 (a.k.a. Milk Chocolate with roasted almonds). Mister brought this one home for me from Whole Foods because he thought I’d like the wrapper and he was right on. Look how gorgeous it… Read More

–Don’t wash all your bras at the same time. They take a lot longer to dry than you think! (Didn’t I learn this back in middle school? Guess not.) Sorry everybody at SuperTarget for hanging free and loose! –Don’t be so picky about your bras because then you won’t have… Read More
