Guess what? Luxury bath and body products don’t have to cost a fortune! At Twig, my sister’s and my boutique, we carry a whole line of affordable and luxurious products that smell absolutely amazing! When we first bought the shop, there were a few soaps and lotions already available. But we soon learned that the […]

The Chosen: A Series on the Life of Christ
I confess I had my reservations when I first heard about The Chosen. I’m not overly enthralled with movies that seek to tell the story of Christ and His life – I’d rather just read about it in the Bible. But my Dad was impressed with the series and thought we would like it, so […]

Ginger Crinkle Cookies
This year for Thanksgiving we all chose something to bake or cook and I was asked to make cookies. Typically I make either chocolate chip or M&M cookies, but this time I wanted to mix it up a little! Why not several smaller batches of different cookies? I came across a recipe for Ginger Crinkle […]
Fort Robinson
Fort Robinson is a wonderful spot in Nebraska where you can experience a hint of the Old West! My family and I have visited it on multiple occasions and it is definitely a highlight of our trip! One of the things that I find especially fascinating are the many original structures from years ago that […]

But in actuality it is the title of a book I am in the middle of reading and wanted to recommend! I enjoy reading biographies on inspiring people, narratives on historical places […]

Why write a fast and furious note when you can make it a beautifully scripted note? Awhile back I shared about creating your […]
All of My Heart

And as many of you know, historic homes are one of my weaknesses! I’ve shared before my dream of fixing up a historic home! I think it […]

Best Ever Brownies
First off, you have to love the title, right?! Best ever – vs. worst ever, mediocre, or okay-ish! These brownies truly are sensational! The back story is delightful. Several years back I was staying with my brother and his wife leading up to one of their children being born. Late one night (think 9:30pm) my […]
The Joys of Old Time Radio Shows
Years ago, I discovered old time radio shows. Delightful, dramatized tales of mystery and comedy! This discovery led me to my first business of creating CDs of these shows so that people could listen to them in their cars. Since the shows are old, they are now in the public domain and it is legal […]
