This post about cleaning my amazingly-scary windows is sponsored by Bounty DuraTowel. There’s window washing, and there’s window de-mudding. We have this certain room in our house.

3 Slow Cooker Recipes for Summer
I love to turn to my crockpot for help in the summer.

Knowing that helps me keep going. As I'm pulling posts from the archives to share this summer, I'm enjoying reading some of the moments of discovery that have … [Read more...]
Random Summer Update #1 (2013)
It's possible you've noticed that I only posted twice this week. And the posts were a link post and a guest post. I haven't quit blogging. But I am consciously taking a step back for summer. I say "consciously" because it's actually an effort for me to NOT blog. My mind thinks in blog posts and I generally create cutesy titles for … [Read more...]
