Celebrating With a GraceLaced Print Giveaway
July. July always summons up memories and pictures of hot sunshine, water spraying, and long days. It carries me back to childhood and carefree days and summertime living.

Ten Things That Delighted Me This Spring
No. 1 I won a Blendtech blender and I’m still over-the-moon delighted about it!!! It’s so fun to use and it gives me fun messages when it’s finished blending like, “Ta-da!” and “You should tweet this blend!” Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have even known what in the world it meant to “tweet my blend”.

Nonsense and Dr. Seuss and June Already
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” ~ Dr. Seuss Ah, yes, Dr. Seuss, I so […]
Yummy Fruit and Granola Yogurt Parfaits
We’ve been stuck on these yummy fruit and yogurt parfaits recently. They’re pretty easy to make. There’s a couple of steps to it, particularly if you make your own granola, but it’s all pretty easy!
