    Out of Sorts (What Day Is It?)

    December 28, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Is anyone else out of sorts, a bit, now that we’ve gotten past Christmas? I had the hardest time on Sunday. It didn’t feel like Sunday. I was weirdly surprised to see NFL football teams playing and I completely forgot to walk out to the mailbox to get the Sunday…

    Our Christmas Traditions

    December 24, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Merry Christmas, friends! We officially kicked off our Christmas with our traditional celebration at home last night after I got home from work. We cracked open a bottle of red wine and Teacher Man grilled up steaks while I made mashed potatoes and glazed carrots – a pretty simple meal…

    December 20, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hello, friends! So much going on this weekend it’s hard for me to know where to start. So first this: It’s good to be the birthday girl, especially when you’re turning 2! And oh my word, how adorable is Miss Morgan in her headband and sparkly birthday dress? Truth be…

    High Five for Friday (+ Randomness)

    December 17, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I have decided that I don’t have enough random writing time in my life. I’ve mentioned this before (here, for instance), but I love just sitting at the laptop, creating fun posts about a multitude of topics that have nothing to do with each other. It’s my creative outlet. And…

    December 15, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Spicy turkey sloppy joes or spicy turkey barbecues?  Which team are you on? I say barbecues more – but then I’ll slip in a sloppy joe reference for no reason, so I guess I’m conflicted. 😉 I’m not conflicted on how delicious and flavorful this particular recipe from Jennie-O Turkey…
