April reminds me of cherry blossoms which is why I incorporated them in my header for this month. I like to capture things (usually in nature) to highlight the month and what makes it different/special. The cherry blossom bloomfest started this weekend in Branch Brook Park, Newark NJ. The cherry blossom festival goes from April... Read More...
Almond bonbon cookies can be sugar free, paleo, low carb and soft and chewy. These are a breeze to bake if you have a half hour to spare. I only recommend using blanched almond flour from Honeyville farms for this recipe as almond meal can yield a much different product (look and taste-wise). These are... Read More...
Within a day the snow is melted. Everything is thawing and it feels great to open up some windows and circulate the fresh air. Last night I ended up finishing the last bit of edging on a crochet blanket I’ve been working on and I’m happy to finally call it finished! What attracted me from... Read More...
I haven’t crocheted in years. The last time was when I was real young and my Great Aunt was teaching me a chain, double & triple stitch. I never made anything significant and recently I’ve been interested in picking up the art again. I was looking on the LionBrand website and got pretty motivated when... Read More...
I always love the transition from summer to fall. However, it’s still summer so I thought I’d make one last post to top it off. Here’s my ode to summer. (well…Ralphie’s) …okay, so maybe he doesn’t have it that bad.

My lovebird, Paulie, spent her first 10 years making nests and laying eggs. Hen lovebirds are much harder to train because they become very territorial after puberty. She’s been a handful, and not exactly the tamest bird because of hormones. I also wasn’t able to devote a huge amount of time with her while growing... Read More...
Paulie is 12 years old and has a big personality. As for her hobbies, she likes to take baths and considers herself an avid paper chewer. You may find her digging in purses… as she’s particularly fond of money. She loves to eat peas… …and competes with the dog. Ralphie doesn’t know what to make... Read More...
Better meet him sooner than later. Ralphie (our toy poodle) will be making many appearances on this blog since he is such a large part of our lives. He’s my first dog, ever! Since 2009 I can now say I understand why owners think their lil pup’s are the best. Everyone should experience the love... Read More...
