I admit that I’m a coffee fanatic! I love a good Americano! But there are times where I order the Honey Citrus Mint hot tea from Starbucks, and it’s like a special treat. This warm beverage steeps two different types of tea bags. Then it is sweetened with honey and flavored with a splash of… Continue reading Honey Citrus Mint Tea at Home

Pumpkin Hummus for Mabon
Happy fall! Mabon, or the fall equinox, celebrates the second harvest. The axis of the earth tilts so the sun hits directly over the equator. This gives equal time to light and darkness on this day. Apples, pumpkins, vines, gourds, corn, pinecones, and seeds are harvest symbols of this holiday. With the changing leaves, it's… Continue reading Pumpkin Hummus for Mabon
Lemony Cheesecake Squares
My family loves homemade desserts. I need non-complicated ones right now, especially mid-week. Cheesecake Squares don't last long around here. I should remember to make a double batch next time.

It Wasn’t Me!
Oh, the bathroom! It's always a surprise of smells in that room. There's the minty toothpaste, the invigorating body wash, the flowery body lotion, and --ahem--the toilet. And we have all made it stink at some point! I always leave a bottle of homemade air freshener of the essential oils of the season on the… Continue reading It Wasn’t Me!
Garbage Disposal Tabs
The garbage disposal--is it worth even having? Yes, it gets rid of those food particles, but wow, does it get slimy. And a little smelly. I have enough things to clean around the house!
