Today I’m flying to Vegas, but first I’ll sort out my closet so it’s nicely organized for when I get back from my trip. I’ll be packing lightweight summery dresses (as it’s in the 80s and high 70s in Vegas this week) and otherwise storing away all my summer clothes. Front and center in my…
Peacock Fairy Wings, from Elven Creations on Etsy This weekend it’s still “Time for Us” week. We will not be engaging in any sorting, decluttering, cleaning or house projects.

I did this extensively last year, and didn’t acquire more than one or two perfumes as gifts since then, so I shouldn’t have…

Camping LED Lantern, on Amazon Tonight I’m taking a class on chocolate truffle making, so my project for the day will have to be very quick. The class runs from 6:30 to 9:30 and I’m sure when I get home I’ll be tired from all the new tasty things I learned. So, I’m shooting for…
