Although it is one of my favorite sweets, I rarely make fudge because I don’t want to take the time to stand there and stir it forever, test it to the right ball stage, etc. This recipe eliminates all of that added fuss. I admit I was a bit skeptical that really good fudge could …
This was written April 23, 2020. As with the March 18, 2020 post Cheerfully Adjusting In A Coronavirus World, I have not updated it and so it reflects my thinking at that time. This is a deliberate choice for historical purposes. I have been asking myself this question for the past few weeks: Are we …
Happy Monday! It’s a pretty morning here in Cute Little Town. The skies are clear blue, the birds are gabbing, and the bunnies are hopping around the back yard as they look for fresh greens. I’m ready to start my week with a focus on making the most of what I can do and only …
This is a recipe I’ve adjusted and adapted. I made it this week with the thought I could freeze some of the leftovers for another meal for David and Caroline. After eating it multiple meals in a row (by her own choice), Caroline asked me to make it again. LOL! I told her she’d have …
Happy Monday! I’m writing this morning from my new home office. I say “new” because I’m in here all by myself. David and I have shared an office since the summer I was pregnant with Caroline. At that time in our previous home, David’s office became her bedroom and we’ve shared a small bedroom as …
It’s a pretty early April morning here today after a very nice spring Sunday. We were able to able to purchase my spring pansies online and do a drive up pick-up last Thursday so at least that part of our life is normal. I may have missed my college basketball tournament this year, but the …
Happy Monday evening! Usually I post these on Monday morning or even Sunday, but today was filled with other responsibilities and goals so it got pushed down the to do list a bit. We’re still adjusting to the new coronavirus normal around here. I think we’ve just about settled in now that we’re in the …
I found this granola bar recipe online when looking for something our family would enjoy. (And we did!) It also contains lots of pantry staples so it’s something that can easily be made when the mood hits for a treat like this. I decided to tweak it a bit to make it even better so …
So we all made it through the first official week of adjusting to the new coronavirus world. Last week was so surreal in some ways I never even updated my weekly checklist in my planner which I do religiously each week. Nothing. I had a few things to work on and that was what I …
Update October 2021: I made the decision to leave this post as I wrote it at the time. It serves as a reminder to me why I will never trust the government, medical experts, or others in authority again. I trusted them at the beginning and I want to remind myself that I trusted them …
Happy Monday! This post was supposed to go up on Sunday, but I was simply not able to focus this weekend to sit down and write much. I had so much nervous energy that I spent most of my weekend cleaning and organizing. Usually I add some chit chat to the weekly post, but I’m …
The goal of writing on both of my websites is to help you create a life of peace, understanding, and joy for you and your loved ones. This is the theme in the various parts of A Quiet Simple Life Series as well as the rest of the products I created for women. We now …
