    May 12, 2019 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My perfect Mother’s Day weekend? I’m pretty easy to please … just give me plenty of time to work in my gardens, cooking a Saturday evening meal at home with my boys, a trip to the local garden store, cookies baking in the oven, a new frog decoration from Joe…

    Pretty Spring Dresses

    April 8, 2019 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Weekend Randomness

    April 7, 2019 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Here we are on another Sunday night and weirdly, I feel like I have all this energy right now. I have no idea why – just that I was pretty productive today and I hope this carries over to the week ahead. Friday evening Teacher Man and I headed over…

    Turkey Sausage Slab Pizza Pie

    March 26, 2019 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I hope you’re sitting down. Because I’m quite sure you have to be shocked — perhaps even gobsmacked — that I actually posted a Turkey Tuesday recipe for Turkey Sausage Slab Pizza Pie. It’s only been something like a gazillion weeks since I’ve done this. But who’s judging, right? I’m…
