About ten years ago, when my parents were somewhere in their seventies, before my Mom's Alzheimer's struck, my Dad was on a cookbook buying spree. I think he was trying to encourage her to try new recipes and foods. (wink, wink.) I could see what he...

If cakes make a celebration special, a homemade cake takes it to the next level. It shows your guests they are important and that you really care. My personal favorite, no matter the flavor, is a mini cake. They are adorably elegant. Two words that...

House blind. It happens to the best of us. When you become so used to your home that you unconsciously overlook the clutter or the time-worn flaws of aging. Have you experienced this phenomenon? Maybe you've been out of town for a while. You step foot...
I may just have a flair for the dramatic. In fashion, that is. I don't necessarily dress the part outwardly, but I do on the inside. ;) I have always loved a good statement piece. A bold coat, a crazy purse, or a wild skirt....

Sometimes just getting started is the hardest part. Am I right? There is a project that I put off for years, much to the dismay of my patient husband. A bench seat cushion cover for a nine-foot window seat in my office. It was very...
