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!

There’s a favored family holiday no-cook sweet cherry dessert that my family loves. It’s filled with deliciousness such as cherry pie filling, whipped topping, crushed pineapple, cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. And it’s requested, errrrr… demanded every year by all in my family that I bring it. Luckily for me it’s super easy to whip together and requires NO COOKING.

With all the competition during the holidays to grab the attention of your Christmas gift recipients you’ve got to wonder, can you really give more environmentally-friendly gifts that they’ll actually love?
As it turns out, yes.

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.

After the turkey has been roasted and enjoyed, there’s still lots of food waiting to be enjoyed just by using the bones. I’ll make cheap, delicious and healthy broth with them. A money saver for sure.
