Today is Herbs & Spices day, and in honor of the occasion, I’m going to tell you a little secret: until a couple of years ago, I pretty much only used salt & pepper in my cooking… and sometimes, Tony Chachere’s. I KNOW! That’s like, sacrilege, or something! Then the man was diagnosed with high […]
Wordy Wednesday! It’s “Repeat Day”. How many of you are parents? How many of you are parents and have had to repeat yourselves … for like years? *Raises hand* I even find myself repeating things to our animals. Sigh. I guess that’s just part of the great circle of life, right? I’ve toyed with the […]
Hello, scrappers! I hope you are having a good week. The weather has been absolutely beautiful around here – FINALLY. Up until earlier this month it has been uncommonly chilly here on the Gulf Coast. It’s been WEIRD. Now the sun is out and we’re up in the 70s where we should be! That means […]
Did you know that today is National Pick Strawberries Day? I didn’t think so. You really should look at your calendar more often, coz well, how do you know to celebrate if you don’t know about these wonderful and weird holidays?

You can’t get any wordier than a good book! Reading is one of my favorite things to do 🙂 When my hands are busy, and I can’t hold an actual book, I fire up my tablet and open up the Audible app. I have one of those subscription thingies, so there is a TON on […]
If you love visiting the zoo, today is the day for YOU! It’s Zoo Lovers Day! Even though my kids are older now, it’s still so much fun to hit up the local zoo. Honestly, where else do you get to see some of the most amazing animals in the world? Some of us don’t […]
Happy April Fool’s Day! The holiday itself is a bit wacky, isn’t it? To make it a Wacky, Wordy Wednesday, I’m focusing on the words JOKE and PRANK. I LOVE a good prank as long as it’s harmless and doesn’t hurt anyone else. I don’t like jokes that cause a huge mess, either. I do […]
