I quit doing New Year’s Resolutions several years ago, yet the aspirations I have on New Year’s Day for improving things throughout the new year have not been abandoned. And now they’re actually ACCOMPLISHED!
How do I do it? Read on.

I often prefer to be at home on New Year’s Eve because, well, I never really understood the point of it all. But this year we got to trek to the Dallas area to hang out with my family as well as a couple of friends. What a fun time we had!
RancherMan & I spent the night there so that we wouldn’t be on the road during the most dangerous night of the year. But early this morning I awoke to find RancherMan missing. I tiptoed downstairs to find him sitting alone in the living room – he was worried about the winter weather predicted to hit soon.
As much as I was hoping to hang out & visit with my family a little longer I hated to see the worry in his face. So we enjoyed a quick cup of coffee and then headed for home. We’re now safely back at the ranch, a warm fire blazing and a hot cup of tea at my side.
Happy New Year everyone!

Aaaaahhhh… L’amore, Valentine’s Day is almost upon us.
I love Valentine’s Day, it’s a special day to show that special someone just how much they mean to you. See how RancherMan & I celebrate this special day to make it more special but without the burden of perceived obligation & expense.

Low-waste gift baskets can be low-waste and functional too. Make a food basket with reusable jars of homemade food and arrange it all in a handy tub. Brown paper can be composted or used in their fireplace.
